S&P 500 surges 20% in Six Weeks as Stock Market Euphoria Returns to Wall Street
U.S. stock markets surged after an agreement between the Trump administration and China to lower tariffs.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose over 1,000 points, while the NASDAQ and S&P 500 gained nearly 600 and about 100 points, respectively last week. The improvement has erased recent losses from President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
The U.S. and China agreed to reduce tariffs on each other’s goods for an initial 90 days. The U.S. will lower tariffs on Chinese products from 145% to 30%, while China will cut its tariffs on American imports from 125% to 10%.
This unexpected breakthrough has eased tensions in their trade war and positively impacted global markets.
A hedge fund is a limited partnership of private investors whose money is pooled and managed by professional fund managers. These managers use a wide range of strategies, including leverage (borrowed money) and the trading of nontraditional assets, to earn above-average investment returns. A hedge fund investment is often considered a risky, alternative investment choice and usually requires a high minimum investment or net worth. Hedge funds typically target wealthy investors.
My medical practice has a small self-directed pension plan with profit sharing features.
QUESTION: Can my medical practice’s retirement plan invest in a hedge fund?
Such a pension fund falls under a category called self-directed “plan” assets.
Among the rules are that each participant in the plan counts toward the 100 investor maximum under which most hedge funds operate, that each plan participant be a fully accredited investor, and that the hedge fund keep investments such as pension plans and other funds covered under ERISA to less than 25 percent of total assets under management.

Capital One has agreed to pay $425 million to settle nationwide litigation accusing it of cheating savings account depositors out of much higher interest rates by not telling them they could move their money to higher-yielding accounts. A notice describing the preliminary settlement was filed on Friday evening in U.S. federal court in Alexandria, Virginia. The accord requires a judge’s approval.
The S&P 500 is just 3% below its record high set in mid-February, when President Donald Trump launched a trade war that began with Canada and Mexico. That puts the index around bull market territory and marks a stunning rebound from just a month ago as markets crashed after Trump unveiled his “Liberation Day” tariffs.
