October 2026

Yields are an important part of today’s investing conversation. In his latest WGN Radio AM 720 appearance, Mesirow Head of Investment Solutions Paul Arnold discussed what yields are, what is happening in markets right now and how investors may think about opportunities when yields are high. He also addressed the gap between market sentiment and underlying economic conditions, and why investors should be careful not to let emotion drive long-term investment decisions.
