HPWG Podcast March 2026: Markets Are Moving — Here’s What Investors Should Know
Markets have been anything but calm lately — and this weekend’s geopolitical developments have only added to the uncertainty.
In this episode of the Hoffman Private Wealth Group Podcast, Wealth Managers Todd Hoffman and Jenna Makras discuss the current state of the markets, including volatility, economic indicators, and international market performance. They also touch on political influences affecting the financial landscape and provide insights into their investment strategies moving forward.
In this episode, we cover:
• What the Middle East conflict could mean for markets
• Why this volatility is normal — not a reason to panic
• How AI is quietly reshaping market leadership
• Why we’re trimming past winners to fund future ones
• Where new opportunities may be emerging
• Our outlook on rates, bonds, and economic growth
• Why staying disciplined matters in uncertain markets

We’re tactical discretionary managers with a focus on long-term growth. While we don’t trade daily, we stay alert to shifting trends that may present new opportunities—or emerging risks.
At one point, energy stocks aligned with broader market momentum. More recently, we’ve seen increased attention around technologies like AI, semiconductors, and components powering autonomous vehicles and defense innovation.
Rather than chasing the past, we strive to identify forward-looking themes and construct portfolios that reflect evolving market dynamics.
Every investor’s goals and risk tolerance are unique—but if you’re interested in a data-informed, trend-conscious approach to portfolio management, we’d be happy to share how we think about positioning for growth.

According to JP Morgan, Municipal Bonds’ supply is 40% higher this year than last. This has created a short-term buying opportunity at attractive prices and high yields.
