The US economy will grow a bit more than

0:02

2% in 2026. AI spending and capex will

0:07

constitute 100 basis points of that 2%.

0:11

So half of the 2% increase. 30 basis

0:14

points is from reshoring meaning

0:16

bringing the supply chain back to the

0:18

United States as well as other

0:20

infrastructure expenditures. So just

0:22

about half of the US economic growth

0:25

this year is from AI and the other half

0:28

is a result of recent economic policy

0:30

when 50% of the S&P 500 is tech and

0:34

techreated. Owning the index does not

0:38

provide diversification. Now someone

0:40

might say hey I'm diversified because I

0:43

have 60% of my money in equities and 40%

0:46

in bonds. So, okay, maybe my 60% is not

0:50

as diversified as I once thought, but I

0:52

own bonds. And there you would be wrong.

0:54

15% of all corporate existing debt is AI

0:59

related. And 50% of all newly originated

1:03

corporate debt in 20126 is AI related.

The transcript discusses the primary drivers of projected US economic growth for 2026, highlighting that AI spending, infrastructure, and reshoring account for the majority of the expansion. It also warns investors that traditional portfolio diversification strategies—such as holding a mix of equities and bonds—may be ineffective, as a significant portion of both the S&P 500 and the corporate bond market is heavily concentrated in AI-related sectors.
