What this transaction means for investors
Valley Wealth Managers holds a diversified portfolio of ETFs and stocks for its clients. Institutional investors were making many adjustments at the end of 2025 amid shifting interest rates and changing market conditions.
While Valley Wealth was adding to large stakes in Apple and the Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF, it sold a large chunk of its KBWB position, a top bank ETF.
Bank stocks just completed a relatively strong year, with KBWB outperforming the S&P 500. But the smart money may be lowering its growth outlook for leading banks following the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut rates toward the end of the year.
Analysts are expecting at least one more rate cut in 2026. The prospect of lower interest rates is a headwind for banks, as it puts pressure on their net interest margin—the spread between the income from lending and the cost of paying interest on deposits.
