The S&P 500 may be lower today, but Nigel Green, CEO of deVere Group, predicts that the S&P 500 will likely reach 6,000 by the end of the year. Green, who heads one of the world's largest independent financial advisory firms, believes the index's rise is not only possible but likely.

Could the S&P 500 hit 6,000 by year end?

The S&P 500 is on a record run this year, posting its strongest year-to-date performance since 1997. But, as analysts at Goldman Sachs argued in a note on Monday, all good things must come to an end.

Wave Goodbye To the Stock Market's Historic Run, Goldman Sachs Says

S&P 500 has offered healthy returns over the past ten years but the investment landscape will be dramatically different through 2034, warns David Kostin of Goldman Sachs. The bank's chief of US equity strategy does not expect the broad market index to return more than 3.0% annually over the next decade.

S&P 500 annual returns will be capped at 3% over the next decade, Goldman Sachs warns

It is trickier than it sounds because plenty of traditional value sectors, such as utilities and industrial stocks, look expensive compared to historical levels.

The S&P 500 May Be ‘Melting Up.' Where You Can Still Find Value.

Goldman's tepid prediction comes during a particularly bullish market, with the S&P 500 amassing a 27% annual total return the last two years.

Goldman Sachs forecasts S&P 500 returns of just 3% over next decade — depending on these stocks' gains

The S&P 500 achieved a new high to close out the third week of October. After retreating a bit during the week, stock prices rose again on Friday, 18 October 2024 to achieve the index's new record-high close.

My investment strategy focuses on generating income from dividends and distributions, supplemented by writing covered calls and cash-secured puts. More broadly, I hold a mix of high-yield and dividend-growth investments, with the approach of both receiving high cash flow and seeing it grow over time as well. With my ETF approach, there are funds that fit both of these categories, some really "boring" names and then those that get more interesting in the "reaching-for-yield" category.

CGDG offers exposure to global stocks that are expected to provide meaningful yield and DPS growth in the future. 48.7% of its net assets are allocated to U.S. stocks. It also has a footprint in the developed, emerging, and even frontier markets. Its performance is disappointing for now, as it trailed both IVV and even ACWI from October 2023-September 2024.

The S&P 500 index has done well this year, rising by over 16%, and outperforming other global indices like the Nifty 50, CAC 40, and FTSE 100 indices.  Most of this growth has been because of the technology sector, where companies like Nvidia, Super Micro Computer, and Arista Networks have done well.
