Our investment and economic outlook, April 2025

Vanguard has updated its forecasts for broad asset class returns through a March 31, 2025, running of the Vanguard Capital Markets Model® (VCMM). The probabilistic return assumptions depend on market conditions and change with each running over time. Forecast changes relative to the December 31, 2024, running of the VCMM are attributable both to market movements and enhancements to our model itself.
