Welcome to Five in Five, a monthly publication from the Investment Team at BTC Capital Management. Each month we share graphs around five topics that illustrate the current state of the markets, with brief commentary that can be absorbed in five minutes or less. We hope you find this high-level commentary to be beneficial and complementary to Weekly Insight and Investment Insight.

  1. Inflation Slows to 2.7%
  2. 2025 Market Returns
  3. Corporate Bonds
  4. Cautiously Optimistic Outlook for Stocks
  5. Faster Earnings Growth Will Give U.S. Stocks an Edge in 2026
