Managed Asset Portfolios Weekly Webinar June 29, 2026
Jun 30, 2026Join our latest investment webinar as Michael Dzialo, President & Chief Investment Officer of Managed Asset Portfolios, and Zachary Fellows, Portfolio Manager, discuss the changes in composition within the S&P 500, the declining weight of defensive sectors, and the potential implications for long-term portfolio positioning.
The discussion begins with an analysis of the composition of the S&P 500, including the historically low weighting of defensive sectors, such as healthcare, consumer staples, utilities, and real estate. Our team examines how the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and technology-related industries has created a level of market concentration comparable to previous periods of market extremes, while emphasizing that these observations should be viewed as long-term indicators rather than short-term timing signals.
The webinar also explores the Federal Reserve's policy outlook and why we believe markets may be overestimating the likelihood of near-term rate hikes, despite recent inflation pressures tied to geopolitical events and energy markets. As oil prices stabilize and inflation moderates, they expect the Fed to remain patient and data-dependent rather than pursue additional tightening in the months ahead.
The session concludes with a broader discussion on portfolio construction and risk management. While artificial intelligence continues to reshape market leadership, we remain focused on maintaining diversified exposure, with an emphasis on long-term fundamentals rather than short-term market narratives.
