Janus Henderson says investors should cut down exposure to stocks as recession looms

Janus Henderson now recommends a portfolio of 55% equities and 45% bonds, compared with its call at the start of the year for 62% equities and 38% bonds, Adam Hetts, global head of multi-asset at Janus, told Reuters. His base case is for a market selloff and the potential for bearish and recessionary cases to take hold.

Goolsbee noted that the tariffs pursued by President Donald Trump, even as they've been pulled back, are still very high and will impact the economy in a way that's hard for monetary policy to deal with.
