Quality factor can tilt equity exposure away from growing concentration
  • The equity quality factor targets companies with a high return on equity, low leverage, and low accruals — typically, growing companies with free cash flow.
  • With technology exposure broadly aligned to the S&P 500 (30.3% vs. 35.7%), investors can use this factor tilt to reduce reliance on Magnificent 7 names.
  • This tilt has been rewarded, with quality outperforming year-to-date (10.9% vs. 7.9% for the S&P 500).
  • CLA has maintained a quality factor fund in our U.S. equity strategy coming into 2026. (Source: Morningstar)
High net worth clients turning to long-short strategies for equity exposure
  • Direct indexing has become a mainstay for clients seeking tax alpha. The strategy replicates an index like the S&P 500 while harvesting tax losses by selling underperforming stocks and replacing them with close substitutes. 
  • Long-short strategies extend this approach by using leverage (e.g., 130/30 structure) to take both long and short positions, increasing opportunities to generate taxable losses. 
  • Portfolios with a long-short extension can harvest losses from both declining longs and rising shorts, enhancing loss generation while also aiming to track the benchmark. 
  • Consult your tax and wealth team to learn more about direct indexing (long-only) and long-short investing. (Source: Aperio)
Dislocation is driving compelling dynamics in real estate
  • A supply shortage in housing along with a higher cost to own verses rent has sustained a high occupancy rate in multifamily real estate.
  • Future lower interest rates may attract developers back to the market, but until housing starts shows improvement, there’s a dislocation in the market.
  • Some real estate developers are also forced to sell assets due to being overleveraged, creating opportunities for opportunistic buyers to acquire assets at discounts while benefiting from rising net operating income.
  • Reach out to your CLA advisor to learn more about how to take advantage of this dislocation. (Source: Bow River Capital)
