Financial advisors expect the stock market's bull run to continue in 2025, but not without spells of turbulence.

More than two-thirds of the 650 advisors surveyed by InspereX, an underwriter of fixed-income securities, said they expected the S&P 500 to be up more than 10% in 2025. So far this year, the S&🉐amp;P 500 has climbed more than 2꧑5%.

Despite the confidence in strong returns for stocks, advisors caution that there likely to be volatility. Roughly 80% said they expect to see at least one 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:correction or more in the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:broad-based index.

How To Prepare For Stock Market Volatility

To prepare for volatility, 72% of advisors said they're adding 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:downside protection to their client's portfolios.

More than half (52%) of financial advisors said they would reduce their clients' cash and cash-equivalent holdings in 2025. Since September, the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Federal Reserve has cut its influential federal funds rate twice, causing interest rates and yields on 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:high-yield savings accounts and money market funds to fall.

Advisors say they're compensating for the loss of income from cash by investing more in other securities: 55% say they're increasing their client exposure to dividend-paying stocks.
