Thirteen-year secular bull market may still have years to run

Cyclical pullbacks do not end secular bull markets while capital keeps returning

The S&P 500 secular advance began in 2013 after breaking 2000 and 2007 highs, not at the COVID or 2022 lows. Prior secular bulls lasted 16 and 20 years and absorbed recessions, crashes, and cyclical bears in 1957, 1987, and 2020 without ending the larger uptrend. Corrections will recur, but the cycle typically ends only when capital stops flowing back in; price action and flows still point to ongoing risk appetite.

Instrument Side Target Reason
SPY Long We believe broad U.S. large-cap exposure aligns with a secular bull that historically ran 16–20 years, has already absorbed major shocks, and is not yet invalidated by a sustained failure of capital to return after drawdowns.
