Three Charts That Have Our Attention

If you are curious about what’s going on in the market or economy, we’d like to share some charts / graphics that we think are insightful.

Cost of Winning. Having a big budget helps, but it doesn’t guarantee wins. Every season there are programs doing more with less (and some doing less with more), earning their way into the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament and reminding everyone why it’s called March Madness.

In the ETF Era. The momentum behind Exchange-Traded Funds isn’t slowing down. Record inflows this year suggest investors are continuing to favor transparent, low-cost exposure to the markets rather than traditional fund structures.

​
​Changing Food Spending. While rising grocery prices get a lot of attention, the long-term trend tells a different story. As incomes have grown, the share of household income spent on food has steadily declined. Most of that shift has come from spending less on food at home, while dining out has gradually taken up a larger share of the food budget.

Whenever you're ready, we’re here to help you.
