America, AI & Small Caps: Wayve Capital's Bold Second-Half Market Playbook

Can the stock market continue climbing even as AI stocks cool off? Is Wall Street entering a new phase where small-cap companies finally take the lead? On this special Fourth of July edition of Wayve Wire, host Todd M. Schoenberger welcomes Joe Besecker, CEO of Wayve Capital, and Rhys Williams, CIO of Wayve Capital, for an in-depth discussion on where investors should be positioning portfolios for the second half of 2026. Joe explains why he's becoming even more optimistic about the market despite recent weakness in semiconductor and AI stocks, arguing that the investment landscape is broadening well beyond the Magnificent Seven. Rhys shares why the current capital spending boom, fueled by new tax incentives, could provide a significant tailwind for domestic small-cap companies. The conversation also explores the Federal Reserve's influence on markets, consumer spending trends heading into earnings season, the growing opportunity in actively managed small-cap portfolios, online sports betting, and why emerging "Trump Accounts" could reshape long-term investing for younger Americans.
