In his interview with the Schwab Network, Patrick Ryan discussed where he sees opportunity as tariff-induced market uncertainty continues. While mega caps are facing valuation pressure, U.S. small and mid-cap stocks offer value, particularly as they may benefit from deregulation and the “One Big, Beautiful Bill.”

All investing involves risks including the possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance the portfolios will achieve their investment objectives. The portfolios may invest in equities which are subject to market volatility. Equity risk is the risk that securities held by the portfolio will fluctuate in value due to general market or economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities held by the portfolio participate, and the particular circumstances and performance of particular companies whose securities the portfolio holds. In addition, while broad market measures of common stocks have historically generated higher average returns than fixed income securities, common stocks have also experienced significantly more volatility in those returns.
Upon request, Madison may furnish to the client or institution a list of all security recommendations made within the past year.
Please consult with your financial advisor to determine your risk tolerance and investment objectives. While Madison constructs portfolios for various risk tolerances, its Asset Allocation Team does not determine individual client’s risk tolerance or investment objectives.
All investing involves risks including the possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance the asset allocation portfolios will achieve their investment objectives. The portfolios may invest in equities which are subject to market volatility. In addition to the general risk of investing, the portfolio is subject to additional risks including investing in bond and debt securities, which includes credit risk, prepayment risk and interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Securities rated below investment grade are more sensitive to economic, political and adverse development changes. International equities involve risks of economic and political instability, market liquidity, currency volatility and differences in accounting standards.
Each portfolio is subject to the risks and expenses of the underlying funds in direct proportion to the allocation of assets among the underlying funds.
Investments in midsize companies may entail greater risks than investments in larger, more established companies. Midsize companies tend to have narrower product lines, fewer financial resources, and a more limited trading market for their securities, as compared to larger companies. They may also experience greater price volatility than securities of larger capitalization companies because growth prospects for these companies may be less certain and the market for such securities may be smaller. Some midsize companies may not have established financial histories; may have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources; may depend on a few key personnel for management; and may be susceptible to losses and risks of bankruptcy.
An investment in small cap securities is subject to risk and there can be no assurance that the account will achieve its investment objective. The risks associated with an investment can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing include: equity risk, small cap price volatility risk, small cap illiquidity risk, value investing risk, ETF risk, capital gain realization risks to taxpaying shareholders, and foreign security and emerging market risk. Investing in small, mid size or emerging growth companies involves greater risks not associated with investing in more established companies, such as business risk, significant stock price fluctuations and illiquidity. Contact Madison for more detailed information regarding these risks.
Volatility is the degree of variation of returns for a given security or market index.
Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
Indices are unmanaged. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. They are shown for illustrative purposes only, and do not represent the performance of any specific investment. Index returns do not include any expenses, fees or sales charges, which would lower performance.

Although the S&P 500 focuses on the large-cap segment of the market, with over 80% coverage of U.S. equities, it is also an ideal proxy for the total market.
