In 2024, U.S. stock funds demonstrated strong performance, primarily driven by the exceptional growth of large-cap tech stocks. This marked a significant rebound, supported by a recovering U.S. economy and widespread investor optimism. Midcap and small-cap growth funds also performed robustly. However, international stock funds underperformed their U.S. counterparts, highlighting challenges like currency headwinds and regional economic uncertainties. Bond funds also saw slight gains this year but broadly underperformed institutional money market funds.
