Nuveen’s Global Investment Committee Q4 2025 Outlook examines how Fed rate cuts and fiscal shifts are reshaping opportunities across equities, fixed income, and real assets.

  • The Fed’s renewed rate-cutting path supports growth but leaves long-term yields anchored by persistent fiscal pressures; a steeper curve and selective credit focus are expected.

  • High-quality credit, municipals, and securitized assets offer compelling yields, while U.S. large caps, real estate, and energy-linked infrastructure stand out for durable returns.

  • Structural trends—AI investment, energy demand, and policy divergence—are driving dispersion across asset classes and creating selective opportunities beyond traditional portfolios.
