Europe shows tentative signs of improvement, but the recovery remains uneven. AI investment is increasingly influencing U.S. capital spending and trade.

The $85 billion listing last month of SpaceX, Elon Musk's aerospace, satellite communications and artificial intelligence company, was an important market event. The company's dual-class share structure, conferring disproportionate voting power on its founder, could be expected to serve as a template for the next wave of high-profile IPOs, with OpenAI and Anthropic expected to follow suit in the coming quarters.

Despite continued concentration in mega-cap technology stocks, US dividend-focused strategies have generally remained competitive and historically experienced more shallow drawdowns than broader equity markets. Last year, US companies paid a record US$704.8 billion in dividends - the 15th consecutive annual record. Concurrently, dividend growth accelerated across several international markets, highlighting the continued strength of shareholder-return trends.

Many have said that midcap stocks are a “sweet spot” of market capitalization. They deliver both growth potential — typically associated with smaller companies — and profitability — usually seen in larger companies.

TPLC is a large/mid-cap core ETF designed to offer broad exposure to stocks passing proprietary Biblically Responsible Investing criteria. Fees are 0.52%, and the fund has $272 million in assets. The Fund seeks to provide high-quality exposure to less volatile stocks. However, its weighting scheme works against these objectives. TPLC is actually more volatile than market-cap-weighted benchmarks like IWB. This weighting scheme also negatively impacts quality. I calculated an 8.16/10 profit score, which is the lowest among the four peers I selected as benchmarks.
