The report highlighted that the firm remains most constructive on Traditional Asset Managers and is emphasizing a more selective approach with a sharper focus on higher-conviction names. That said, TD Cowen continues to maintain exposure to alternative asset managers, with an increasingly tilted portfolio toward strategies better suited to a “higher-for-longer” rate environment.

Before TD Cowen, Raymond James analysts reiterated their Buy rating on The Charles Schwab Corporation (NYSE:SCHW) and raised their price target from $110 to $114, according to an investing.com report dated January 5. Based on analysts’ estimates, Schwab should be able to withstand net margin pressure from potential Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, given the recent reduction in its high-cost funding exposure and the ability to reinvest maturing securities at higher yields.

The stock is currently a strong Buy by consensus, with 1-year price target estimates implying nearly 18% upside, indicating a robust financial outlook.
