Three Charts That Have Our Attention

If you are curious about what’s going on in the market or economy, we’d like to share some charts / graphics that we think are insightful.

State of the Household. Over the past 15 years, U.S. households have seen substantial increases in stock and home prices, while Federal Reserve rate hikes have provided considerable cash flow to fixed-income holders. Consequently, the debt-to-income ratio for U.S. households appears significantly more favorable compared to that of other countries.

Data Center Demand. Data Centers are riding a wave of explosive growth largely thanks to future AI projections and the need to build out infrastructure ahead of it. Note: GW (Gigawatts)

ETFs vs Mutual Funds. The evolution from Mutual Funds to ETFs is in full swing. Even though Mutual Funds still make up a higher percentage of AUM, that percentage has shrunk every year giving way to the increased flows into ETFs.
