U.S. stocks rose 2.66% in Q4 2025, capping a rapid rebound since April, though growth slowed as the year ended. The S&P 500’s gains reflected strong corporate performance and economic resilience. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates twice in Q4 (October and December) by 0.25% each, easing financial conditions and supporting market momentum amid sustained economic strength. AI-driven spending remained a key growth driver, fueling tech sector performance and broader market optimism despite earlier volatility in 2025. Healthcare, previously underperforming, led sector gains in Q4, outperforming all other S&P 500 segments as investor sentiment shifted toward defensive and high-growth areas. John Hancock’s 529 portfolio benefited from these trends, aligning with broader market recovery while emphasizing diversified asset management strategies.
