Big Risk and Big Reward
The year 2024 marked another strong performance for the leading indices, with SPY and QQQ delivering impressive returns, showcasing resilience in the face of macroeconomic challenges. Gold also shined brightly, posting a stellar 27% return with minimal drawdown, further solidifying its role as a safe haven asset.
Meanwhile, outside the Big Tech space, digital assets and equities generated significant returns, albeit with higher levels of volatility and drawdowns. However, Bitcoin miners underperformed the broader market, facing substantial drawdowns despite the positive momentum in the digital asset space.
As the investment landscape evolves, the varying performances across asset classes highlight the importance of diversification and understanding sector-specific risks.
