Tandem’s Investment Team returns with Episode 21 of Tandem Talk! This discussion can be summed up into four words: a tug of war. And it’s a tug on many levels—between the Administration and the Fed, between AI advances and the rest of the economy, a narrow market vs. a broadening market. Who will win the match?

The Investment Team is back with our 20th episode of Tandem Talk—this time with something completely different! Episode 20 marks five years of conversations around the table. If you’ve tuned in since the beginning, we thank you for your listenership and for bearing with us as we figured this whole podcast thing out (no more hour-long episodes!). In this episode, we dive into our mission here at Tandem – helping to keep clients invested through all markets, by providing a more consistent, more repeatable, and less volatile investment experience.

We’re back with Episode 19 of Tandem Talk – for having nothing to say, we sure do have a lot to talk about! Tune in as we discuss the unprecedented levels of market narrowness and overconcentration investors are faced with today. What has happened to the S&P 500? Are markets changed forever? Is it really different “this time”? If history (or probability) is any indication, it’s not. Later, we revisit the “Lost Decade” of the aughts, and recount lessons learned. The takeaway is quite simple: if you invest like everyone else, during boom times you will boom, and during bust expect to bust. But hard times in the index does not mean hard times for all stocks, or all investors either.
