We kicked off our first Quarterly Investment Series at Homegrown, bringing together industry experts for a deep dive into Q1 market trends and strategies for navigating the rest of 2025.

Our panelists provided valuable insights on cutting through market noise and staying resilient amid economic uncertainty. One standout analogy compared investing to walking up a staircase while using a yo-yo the staircase represents long-term strategy, while the yo-yo reflects short-term market fluctuations. The key? Keep climbing, stay invested, and trust the upward trajectory.

Key Takeaways from the Event:
💫 Market Volatility – A central theme of the discussion, with perspectives on managing unpredictability.
💫 Political Shifts – The impact of Donald Trump’s tariff changes and their broader economic effects.
💫 Sustainability – How policy shifts are influencing the sustainability sector and investment opportunities.

💫Gold: Gold has always been viewed as a safe bet during times of uncertainty. In volatile markets, investors flock to alternative assets like gold

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for an engaging and thought-provoking evening! Stay tuned for our next session in the series. 🚀
