Emerging markets stocks were the top performers for Q2 2024, returning 5%, while US stocks returned 3.22% and International Developed stocks were down -0.60%. US large company growth stocks (primarily tech companies) were the top performers inside of the United States. This may be in line with expectations, but the high returns of Emerging markets during the quarter was surprising to many. Bonds also had strong quarterly returns – providing 2.63% due to lowering interest rates.
