Greg Marcus in the Media

TheStreet.com - February 24, 2024

Greg Marcus, managing director for UBS Private Wealth Management in Washington, sees at least one leg of that story improving over the coming months.

"Even though market breadth is still narrow, it's wider than it was last year, with more and more stocks this year outperforming the S&P 500," he said.

Marcus, who is forecasting four quarter-point rate cuts from the Fed this year, argues the cuts will "help spark wider breadth in this market."

AI-adjacent big tech stocks have propelled the equity market to new highs, but there could still be more room ahead for gains.

In fact, UBS Private Wealth Management’s Greg Marcus believes that investors should take advantage of market volatility to buy into big tech.

“There will likely be pullbacks and volatility over the next few months and we are supportive of the buy the dip mentality when it comes to big tech,” he said.

Besides being beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence theme, Marcus also pointed out that many big tech firms have strong balance sheets and earnings growth potential, characteristics that can weather a higher interest rate environment.

However, the wealth manager also underscored that the market rally is likely to broaden in 2024.

“While we expect a continued resilience in tech stocks, we also expect a less dramatic, albeit still heavy, focus on the Magnificent 7,” he said.

“Even though market breadth is still narrow, it's wider than it was last year, with more and more stocks this year outperforming the S&P 500. If the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, that will likely help spark wider breadth in this market,” wrote Greg Marcus, managing director of UBS Private Wealth Management, in a research note.

Bloomberg.com - February 22, 2024

“There will likely be pullbacks and volatility over the next few months and we are supportive of the buy-the-dip mentality when it comes to big tech,” said Greg Marcus at UBS Private Wealth Management.

“Even though market breadth is still narrow, it’s wider than it was last year, with more and more stocks this year outperforming the S&P 500,” Marcus added.

Marcus at UBS says that if the Federal Reserve starts cutting interest rates, that will likely help spark wider breadth in the market.

“While we expect a continued resilience in tech stocks, we also expect a less dramatic — albeit still heavy — focus on the ‘Magnificent 7’,” Marcus added. “Rate cuts are also likely to help support the broader market.”

TheStreet.com - December 11, 2023

"We expect to see another interest rate pause from the Federal Reserve on Wednesday, which would be an acknowledgement that inflation is coming down," said Greg Marcus, managing director for UBS Private Wealth Management in Washington.

"While the market is pricing in rate cuts in 2024, we expect the Fed to downplay the possibility of rate cuts in its commentary," he added.

Reuters - December 11, 2023

"We expect the Fed to downplay the possibility of rate cuts in 2024 in its commentary on Wednesday," said Greg Marcus, managing director at UBS Private Wealth Management.

"The stock market's recent strength is largely based on expectations of a soft landing and rates coming down in 2024. While this soft landing scenario is entirely possible, it is far from certain."


Bloomberg.com - December 10, 2023

To Greg Marcus at UBS Private Wealth Management, the stock market’s recent strength is largely based on expectations of a soft landing and rates coming down in 2024. While this soft landing scenario is entirely possible, it is not certain. The Fed is likely to start cutting interest rates sometime next year, but that may be because the economy is slowing and potentially contracting, in which case markets would look different than they do now, he noted.

“We expect to see another interest rate pause from the Federal Reserve on Wednesday, which would be an acknowledgement that inflation is coming down,” Marcus added. “While the market is pricing in rate cuts in 2024, we expect the Fed to downplay the possibility of rate cuts in 2024 in its commentary on Wednesday.”

What’s more, over the course of market history, smaller names have tended to outperform larger stocks over long periods.

Add it all up, and “there’s no question it’s a fantastic time to be diversifying into small- and mid-caps right now,” says Greg Marcus, managing director at UBS Private Wealth Management.

Bloomberg.com - November 30, 2023


“It’s a two-edged sword because if they’re cutting it’s also an indication that maybe we’re moving into a recession,” said Greg Marcus, managing director of UBS Private Wealth Management.
