Q4 2025 Review & Market Update

 

In this Q4 2025 market update, Chief Investment Officer Mark Kinney offers perspective on the market conditions that shaped the year and what they meant for portfolio positioning.

Mark reviews the key market forces that shaped 2025 and explains why portfolio performance was more muted in a year defined by narrow market leadership. He explains how a narrowly led market can challenge diversified portfolios in the short term, particularly across private real estate and private equity, while remaining aligned with our long-term strategy and discipline.

If your portfolio is not benefiting from broad asset class exposure and a pragmatic and strategic approach to protecting your wealth, we invite you to get in touch. We would be happy to arrange a call or video conference with a member of our wealth management team to learn more about Newport’s approach.
