Talbot Financial – Second Quarter 2025 Review
The Index increased 10.9% for the second quarter and 6.2% year to date. Specific to the second quarter, it was not a steady climb as the Index declined 11% in the first week of the quarter, only to rebound nearly 25% by the end of June. The volatility underscores the importance of not overreacting to short-term market noise and adhering to a disciplined investment strategy focused on drivers of long-term growth.
