Rob Williams’ 2026 Ideas: Securitized Assets, Small Caps, International & More

“The big picture’s still pretty good,” says Rob Williams. He expects decent growth for the year, along with 1-3 rate cuts from the Fed.

He’s overweight equities and likes small caps, looking for valuation opportunities. He also is watching international equities and bank stocks. For fixed income, he doesn’t want to take “extra credit risks” and favors securitized assets.
