US equities to rise by year-end.
BlackRock remains overweight equities but trimmed slightly due to elevated starting points, though still expects the equity market to move higher by year-end supported by strong earnings; they added alternative ETF shock absorbers to manage volatility given risks from Fed hiking and higher oil prices.

Own the entire market for long-term gains.
Long-term stock market returns are driven by a small fraction of stocks, so investors should own the entire market through a total market index fund to capture the full return potential without needing to pick winners.
Manuela Sperandeo BlackRock Co-Head of European iShares 30:51
Thematic ETFs have big growth runway.
Thematic ETFs are opening up a new investor segment and have substantial growth runway as indices become more targeted, with real opportunity beyond traditional sector exposures, especially in themes like AI that span technology, materials and power infrastructure.
