Outlook 2026: What Investors Should Expect Next

Markets have delivered strong gains—but 2026 could bring more volatility, more headlines, and more curveballs. In this webinar, get insight into what’s driving the economy and what matters most for your financial plan.

In this conversation, GenWealth advisors Scott Inman and John Shrewsbury sit down with Chief Investment Officer Andrew Beatty to discuss the themes shaping the year ahead—policy shifts, interest rates, inflation, elections, and what investors should do (and not do) when volatility shows up.

If 2026 headlines are already making you uneasy, you’re not alone. The truth is: markets don’t move in a straight line—and the key isn’t predicting every twist and turn. It’s having a plan you can stick with.

This webinar will help you zoom out, tune out the noise, and focus on what you can control: your strategy, your diversification, and your discipline.

Key Takeaways from Outlook 2026

  • Why 2026 may be driven more by policy than fundamentals—and what that means for your portfolio decisions

 

  • How to stay disciplined when volatility hits (and avoid emotional investing mistakes)

 

  • What slowing growth actually signals (and why it doesn’t automatically mean recession)

 

  • What rate cuts historically mean for markets—and the key detail most investors miss

 

  • How bonds and alternatives may fit in a modern portfolio focused on income, stability, and diversification

 

  • How midterm elections tend to affect volatility—and why long-term investors still stay the course
