TwitterThe average market risk premium in the United States remained at *** percent in 2025. This suggests that the returns that investors expected for their investrments remained the same as the previous year in that country, in exchange for the risk they are exposed to. This premium has hovered between *** and *** percent since 2011. What causes country-specific risk? Risk to investments come from two main sources. First, inflation causes an asset’s price to decrease in real terms. A 100 U.S. dollar investment with three percent inflation is only worth ** U.S. dollars after one year. Investors are also interested in risks of project failure or non-performing loans. The unique U.S. context Analysts have historically considered the United States Treasury to be risk-free. This view has been shifting, but many advisors continue to use treasury yield rates as a risk-free rate. Given the fact that U.S. government securities are available at a variety of terms, this gives investment managers a range of tools for predicting future market developments.

What is the Dow Jones Industrial Average index? Along with the NASDAQ 100 index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is amongst the most well-known and used stock indexes in the world. DJIA index was created in 1985 by Charles Dow. It is second oldest U.S. index and one of the most important U.S. stock market indices. It reflects the performance of 30 of the most influential U.S. based companies from various industries, such as JPMorgan Chase, IBM and Walt Disney traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ. Performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average The year that the financial crisis unfolded, 2008, was one of the worst years of the Dow. It was also in 2008 that some of the largest ever recorded losses of the DJIA based on single-day points were registered. On September 29th of 2008, for instance, the Dow had a loss of ****** points, the third largest single-day loss of all times. Since 2008 the index has generally been increasing, registering a high of ********* in 2019 before the economic effects of the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused both the largest single-day losses, and largest single-day gains of the DJIA.

The S&P 500,[2] or simply the S&P,[4] is a stock market index that measures the stock performance of 500 large companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States. It is one of the most commonly followed equity indices.[5] The average annual total return and compound annual growth rate of the index, including dividends, since inception in 1926 has been approximately 9.8%, or 6% after inflation; however, there were several years where the index declined over 30%.[6][7] The index has posted annual increases 70% of the time.[5] However, the index has only made new highs on 5% of trading days, meaning that on 95% of trading days, the index has closed below its all-time high.[8]
For a list of the components of the index, see List of S&P 500 companies. The components that have increased their dividends in 25 consecutive years are known as the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats.[9]:25
The S&P 500 index is a capitalization-weighted index and the 10 largest companies in the index account for 26% of the market capitalization of the index. The 10 largest companies in the index, in order of weighting, are Apple Inc., Microsoft, Amazon.com, Alphabet Inc., Facebook, Johnson & Johnson, Berkshire Hathaway, Visa Inc., Procter & Gamble and JPMorgan Chase, respectively.[2]
Funds that track the index have been recommended as investments by Warren Buffett, Burton Malkiel, and John C. Bogle for investors with long time horizons.[10]
Although the index includes only companies listed in the United States, companies in the index derive on average only 71% of their revenue in the United States.[11]
The index is one of the factors in computation of the Conference Board Leading Economic Index, used to forecast the direction of the economy.[12]
The index is associated with many ticker symbols, including: ^GSPC,[13] INX,[14] and $SPX, depending on market or website.[15] The index value is updated every 15 seconds, or 1,559 times per trading day, with price updates disseminated by Reuters.[16]
The S&P 500 is maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices, a joint venture majority-owned by S&P Global and its components are selected by a committee.[17][18]

Investment trusts have navigated a turbulent environment over recent years, characterised by regulatory changes and uncertain economic conditions. While demand for investment trusts has stayed fairly strong, alternative investment vehicles like open-ended investment companies have put pressure with their competitive prices, encouraging investment trusts to band together through consolidation to drive down fees charged thanks to economies of scale. Revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.9% over the five years through 2025-26 to £1.7 billion, including estimated growth of 6.5% in 2025-26, while the average industry profit margin is anticipated to be 27.4%. After the financial crisis in 2008, ultra-low interest rates supported equity growth as investors sought attractive returns from companies supported by cheap lending rates. This environment came to an end in 2022, as interest rates picked up rapidly amid spiralling inflation. As a result, bond values plummeted, and stock markets recorded lacklustre growth, hurting investment income. Although the rising base rate environment persisted into 2023-24, investors priced in rate cuts near the end of 2023, triggering a rally in stock markets. Capital also flowed into bonds as investors sought to lock in higher yields before they would potentially decline in 2024-25. In 2025-26, trusts will likely limit their exposure to US markets despite healthy growth seen from big tech firms in 2024-25, cautious of US fiscal policy, rising debt and the risk that trade tariffs will trigger a recession. Bond markets will also remain volatile, with markets unsure about the speed of rate cuts amid trade tensions. However, a declining base rate environment will drive prices up and support returns for investment trusts. Investment trust revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 4.6% over the five years through 2029-30 to £2.1 billion. Investors will continue to reduce their exposure to the dollar, with the European Stoxx index positioned for healthy growth in the short term, being seen as an effective safe haven in uncertain times. However, regulatory changes proposed by the Financial Conduct Authority have been contentious, putting investment trusts at a disadvantage to alternative investment vehicles like OEICs. Investment trusts will seek acquisitive growth, using mergers and acquisitions to minimise fixed costs through scale and ramp up competitiveness.

TwitterIn June 2025, the yield on a 10-year U.S. Treasury note was **** percent, forecasted to decrease to reach **** percent by February 2026. Treasury securities are debt instruments used by the government to finance the national debt. Who owns treasury notes? Because the U.S. treasury notes are generally assumed to be a risk-free investment, they are often used by large financial institutions as collateral. Because of this, billions of dollars in treasury securities are traded daily. Other countries also hold U.S. treasury securities, as do U.S. households. Investors and institutions accept the relatively low interest rate because the U.S. Treasury guarantees the investment. Looking into the future Because these notes are so commonly traded, their interest rate also serves as a signal about the market’s expectations of future growth. When markets expect the economy to grow, forecasts for treasury notes will reflect that in a higher interest rate. In fact, one harbinger of recession is an inverted yield curve, when the return on 3-month treasury bills is higher than the ten-year rate. While this does not always lead to a recession, it certainly signals pessimism from financial markets.

TwitterThis paper studies subsampling hypothesis tests for panel data that may be nonstationary, cross-sectionally correlated, and cross-sectionally cointegrated. The subsampling approach provides approximations to the finite sample distributions of the tests without estimating nuisance parameters. The tests include panel unit root and cointegration tests as special cases. The number of cross-sectional units is assumed to be finite and that of time-series observations infinite. It is shown that subsampling provides asymptotic distributions that are equivalent to the asymptotic distributions of the panel tests. In addition, the tests using critical values from subsampling are shown to be consistent. The subsampling methods are applied to panel unit root tests. The panel unit root tests considered are Levin, Lin, and Chu's (2002) t-test; Im, Pesaran, and Shin's (2003) averaged t-test; and Choi's (2001) inverse normal test. Simulation results regarding the subsampling panel unit root tests and some existing unit root tests for cross-sectionally correlated panels are reported. In using the subsampling approach to examine the real exchange rates of the G7 countries and a group of 26 OECD countries, we find only mixed support for the purchasing power parity (PPP) hypothesis. We then examine a panel of 17 developed stock market indexes, and also find only mixed empirical support for them exhibiting relative mean reversion with respect to the US stock market index.

Over the five years through 2025-26, industry revenue is projected to rise at a compound annual rate of 8.1% to reach £973 million. Growth has been supported by strong branding, licensing deals and the rebound in retail sales. Games Workshop’s Amazon agreement is pushing Warhammer into mainstream entertainment, attracting new audiences, while Hornby has streamlined operations after leaving the stock market in 2025. HTI’s Sambro takeover has created the UK’s largest independent toy company, consolidating its licensing portfolio. Profit margins have remained above the wider manufacturing average, supported by consumer loyalty to premium products, even as manufacturers face higher wages, packaging levies and energy costs. Key external drivers continue to shape outcomes. ONS data shows that internet sales made up 27.2% of all UK retail sales in 2024, boosting direct-to-consumer channels and reducing reliance on wholesalers. Exports add further stability, with the UK shipping £28.6 million of playing cards in 2023, largely to the US and Australia, according to UN Comtrade data. However, reliance on imports exposes companies to shocks, with container costs quadrupling during the Red Sea crisis in October 2024. At the same time, packaging regulation is driving change, with the Plastic Packaging Tax rising to £223.69 per tonne in April 2025. These pressures are encouraging investment in greener packaging and digital design tools. In 2025-26, revenue is expected to grow 4.8% as stabilised costs support profitability. Looking ahead, conditions are set to tighten. The number of primary-age pupils in England is forecast to fall by 5% between 2025 and 2030, according to the Department for Education in 2025, shrinking the domestic customer base. Nonetheless, easing inflation should support demand, with household disposable income projected to grow 0.5% annually, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility. Permanent full expensing is also expected to boost automation investment. Over the five years through 2030-31, revenue is forecast to expand at a compound annual rate of 6.8% to reach £1.3 billion.
