币界网报道:Guard against potential market volatility in the second half of the year by investing in "boring" stocks, advises Kevin Kilburg, CIO of ETF at Citadel Securities. Speaking at the CNBC Financial Advisor Summit, Kilburg highlighted utilities, consumer staples and healthcare sectors as stable options amid economic uncertainty. He cautioned that while tech stocks drove first-half gains, their high valuations make them vulnerable to pullbacks. Kilburg's defensive positioning reflects concerns over slowing GDP growth, persistent inflation and geopolitical risks. The strategist recommends dividend-paying blue chips with strong cash flows to weather potential turbulence through year-end.
