Today's Topic: Is China Still Leading Emerging Markets?

On today’s PlanStrongerTV® Market Update, Holland Financial Chief Executive Officer, David Holland, CPA/PFS, CLU®, ChFC®, and Chief Investment Officer, Robert Mara, CAIA, JD, take a closer look at the recent strength in emerging market equities and ask an important question: Is China really leading the charge?

With China representing a significant portion of many emerging market indexes, it might be easy to assume its market performance is driving the broader surge. David and Robert explore which countries are actually propelling emerging markets higher and what may be behind their impressive gains.

From South Korea to Taiwan, they examine a diverse group of markets moving higher. Could the remarkable performance of some of the largest emerging market economies have less to do with China than investors might expect? And with semiconductors playing such a major role in certain markets, how concentrated is this emerging markets story really?

Finally, David and Robert turn their attention to China and the evolving tariff situation. As trade policies continue to shift, what could the implications be for China, emerging markets, and investors watching the global economy?

On today’s PlanStrongerTV® Market Update, Holland Financial Chief Executive Officer, David Holland, CPA/PFS, CLU®, ChFC®, and Chief Investment Officer, Robert Mara, CAIA, JD, take a closer look at the growing wave of capital investment and why the story extends well beyond the boom in artificial intelligence.

What exactly counts as a capital investment, and how is it different from manufacturing? From machinery and electrical equipment to large-scale construction projects, David and Robert explore what’s driving companies to invest in the equipment and infrastructure they expect to use for years to come.

They also examine how tariffs and international trade agreements could play a role in this investment cycle. As companies respond to changing trade policies and as new commitments tied to tariff negotiations help spur large-scale projects, could the effects extend beyond individual businesses and create a broader economic impact?

Finally, David and Robert consider what rising capital investment could mean for investors. How might stronger demand influence corporate revenues and profits, stock prices, and the bond market?

On today’s PlanStrongerTV® Market Update, Holland Financial Chief Executive Officer, David Holland, CPA/PFS, CLU®, ChFC®, and Chief Investment Officer, Robert Mara, CAIA, JD, take a closer look at one of the most frequently discussed and often misunderstood topics in investing: market volatility.

What exactly is volatility, and how do investors measure it? From individual stocks to the broader market, why do some investments experience much larger price swings than others? And what can those movements tell us about market risk and uncertainty?

David and Robert then examine how changing volatility can affect financial markets. When volatility rises, does it always mean trouble for investors? Or could there be more to periods of market stress than meets the eye?

Finally, they consider what rising volatility could mean for investors. Should increased market uncertainty lead to a more defensive approach? Or could it create opportunities for those willing to look beyond the headlines?
