  • With mortgage rates near 7% and record-high home prices, first-time buyers now make up just 24% of home sales—down from 50% in 2010 1
  • U.S. stocks dominate global equity indexes, even though the U.S. accounts for just 4% of the world’s population and 26% of global GDP. Yet this year, the S&P 500 is up only 1.5%, while the Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US ETF has surged 14.6%. *2
  • The American job market has become increasingly fluid, with a recent study showing that the average American changes jobs approximately 12 times between the ages of 18 and 56. 3
  • The number of U.S. public companies has fallen from 8,000 in 1996 to 4,000 today, while private equity-backed firms now exceed 11,500. Yet public markets still dominate in value, totaling $61 trillion—far surpassing the private equity market.  *4
