최근 시장 데이터에 따르면, 강력한 시장 성과로 주목받는 올해, 유명 펀드 매니저인 게리 블랙, 로스 거버 그리고 캐시 우드가 이끄는 펀드의 실적은  S&amp;P 500의 인상적인 연초 대비 수익률 25.97%와 비교해 엇갈린 결과를 보이고 있다.무슨 일이 일어났을까? 게리 블랙의 Future Fund Active ETF(NYSE:FFND)는 그중 가장 높은 성과를 기록하며 연초 대비 25.35%의 수익률을 올렸다. 623만 달러 규모의 FFND 펀드는 엔비디아(NASDAQ:NVDA)를 포트폴리오의 9.39%를 차지하는 가장 큰 비중으로 보유하고 있으며, 광범위한 시장의 상승률에 거의 일치하는 성과를 보였다.

로스 거버, 캐시 우드 아니면 게리 블랙? 누구의 펀드가 2024년 S&amp;P 500 수익률과 견줄만 할까?

Ross Gerber,&nbsp;co-founder, president and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, sees &#8220;massive&#8221; investing opportunity<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis"> in the cannabis space</a>. 
Supporting Cannabis: Tuesday at the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference</a>&nbsp;in&nbsp;Chicago, Gerber gave passionate support for cannabis and provided his outlook for the industry.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/41029459/multi-billion-dollar-fund-manager-ross-gerber-will-discuss-cannabis-and-its-financial-future-at-">Gerber</a> is one of the few advocates for cannabis in the institutional investing world and likely one of the only investment advisors that recommends cannabis to clients. 
AdvisorShares Gerber Kawasaki ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GK#NYSE">GK</a>) is the only exchange-traded fund in the world that gives investors exposure to both cannabis companies and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) in the same place, the fund manager said. 
He&#8217;s been a longtime supporter of cannabis legalization, dating back to his college days at the University of Pennsylvania, where he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/41029459/multi-billion-dollar-fund-manager-ross-gerber-will-discuss-cannabis-and-its-financial-future-at-">led the largest cannabis rally</a> in the history of the school. That&#8217;s what inspired him to support federal cannabis legalization throughout his life, he said. 
Gerber told the packed crowd at the Marriott Magnificent Mile that the prohibition of cannabis was included in the Jim Crow laws introduced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to stop people from voting and throw people in jail for whatever reason they wanted. 
&#8220;Cannabis is the last of these laws and it must be repealed,&#8221; Gerber said. &#8220;It&#8217;s embarrassing!&#8221;

Betting On Cannabis Legalization: The advancement of cannabis is currently in what Gerber calls &#8220;stage two.&#8221; In the first stage, former illegal sellers of cannabis became legal but ran into problems running the businesses. Now incredible operators are coming into the space, he said. 
&#8220;These are the best companies that I have ever seen operated because they can exist with literally everything rigged against them. And the best part is that when these laws change, these companies will be wildly profitable,&#8221; Gerber said. 
&#8220;And that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m here. Because I think cannabis is one of the biggest opportunities for investors that exists today outside of things like <a href="http://benzinga.com/topic/ai">AI</a>.&#8221;
Many cannabis companies are using new technologies in the growth process, the fund manager said, adding that he recently went and saw some of the technology first-hand. He noted that he can&#8217;t help but laugh to himself when he looks at the quality of management and product at these companies and then looks at the valuations. 
The total market cap of all of the public cannabis companies that trade in Canada combined is somewhere between $10 billion and $15 billion. Gerber said he believes there is a $200 billion to $300 billion growth opportunity in cannabis over the next decade. 
Rescheduling alone probably &#8220;doubles the value&#8221; of all cannabis companies because of the way it changes tax laws, he said. SAFE Banking is more of a &#8220;half measure&#8221; and should be pushed toward full legalization, he added. 
If we get rescheduling followed by full legalization, all cannabis companies are going to be worth approximately three times as much as they are today, Gerber said. 
&#8220;I can&#8217;t tell you the tsunami of money that would go into this industry if it was legalized because young people today want to invest in cannabis companies,&#8221; Gerber said.

Sales of single-family homes fell last <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/06/39465243/u-s-home-sales-decline-for-third-month-as-record-prices-pose-persistent-affordability-challenges-dur">month from July </a>but rose from a year ago as mortgage rates kept falling.
New single-family home sales fell 4.7% in August from the prior month to an annualized rate of 716,000, according to estimates released on Wednesday by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
That was up 9.8% from an annualized rate of 652,000 home sales in August 2023.
The latest month-over-month decline was in contrast to a 10.3% jump in single-family home sales from June to July.
Single-family home sales fell the most from July to August in the West, falling 17.8% to an annualized rate of 152,000 in that region.

Sales of all homes, which also included condominiums, townhomes and co-ops, slipped 2.5% from July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.86 million in August, according to latest figures from the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Year-over-year sales for August declined 4.2% from 4.03 million in August 2023.
"Home sales were disappointing again in August, but the recent development of lower mortgage rates coupled with increasing inventory is a powerful combination that will provide the environment for sales to move higher in future months," NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun said.
"The home-buying process, from the initial search to getting the house keys, typically takes several months."
The interest rate on a 30-year mortgage fell to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/41024067/mortgage-demand-soars-as-fed-interest-rate-cut-fuels-housing-market-revival-next-sp">two-year low of 6.13%</a>, a week after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 50 basis points to mark the first Fed rate cut in four years.

Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) has appointed Academy Award-winning filmmaker Jared Bush as Chief Creative Officer (CCO) of Walt <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40416476/disney-park-prices-skyrocket-new-attractions-promise-more-value" rel="noreferrer noopener">Disney Animation Studios, effective immediately.</a>
Jennifer Lee will step back from her role to focus on filmmaking full-time and oversee the Frozen franchise for the studio, the company <a target="_blank" href="https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/jared-bush-walt-disney-animation-studios/" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> in a press release.
As Chief Creative Officer, Bush will manage the creative output of the renowned animation studio, encompassing its films, series, and related projects.

Lee, who has served as Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios since 2018, will direct and write Frozen 3 and co-write Frozen 4 with Marc Smith, also serving as executive producer for the latter.
The &#8220;Frozen&#8221; franchise holds significant importance for Disney.

Following its success, a Broadway musical adaptation and &#8220;Frozen&#8221; attractions were introduced at Disney theme parks. &#8220;Frozen 2,&#8221; directed by Lee and Buck, earned $1.4 billion at the box office in 2019.

Disney Animation Shakes Things Up: Jared Bush Becomes Chief Creative Officer, Jennifer Lee Steps Back To Prepare For Frozen Sequels

The U.S. housing market has been tumultuous <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/24/08/40259694/housing-inches-toward-buyers-market-as-mortgage-rates-fall-but-with-one-caveat-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">due to persistent interest rate hikes</a>.

With mortgage rates expected to decrease, experts advise homebuyers to act swiftly to secure the best deals before the opportunity closes.
Looking ahead, several dynamic trends are set to shape the housing market.
According to a <a href="https://www.noradarealestate.com/blog/housing-market-forecast-for-next-5-years/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">note</a> by Norada Real Estate Investments, the market will remain strong over the next five years, though it will experience some dramatic shifts. Home prices are projected to continue rising, but at a slower pace than in recent years, offering a more gradual increase. While the supply of homes is expected to grow, addressing the previous shortage should ease the inventory crunch that has driven prices up.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40230627/a-ton-of-landlords-are-about-to-raise-rents-this-year" rel="noreferrer noopener">A Ton Of Landlords Are About To Raise Rents This Year</a>
Despite the Federal Reserve&#8217;s past rate hikes raising borrowing costs and dampening buyer enthusiasm, a gradual rate decline could rekindle demand and revitalize the market.
However, competition will remain fierce due to robust job growth, population expansion, and limited land availability.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2024 Forecast</h3>
The U.S. housing market is anticipated to slow, with home prices either stabilizing or seeing a slight decline. Zillow&#8217;s latest forecast for 2024 projects a 1.8% national increase in home values, indicating a period of market stability, Norada Real Estate Investments added.
Stock Opportunities
As home prices are expected to remain stable or increase modestly, homebuilders are likely to benefit from sustained demand and favorable conditions. This stability should support their revenue growth through ongoing construction and sales.
According to a June report by the<a href="https://www.nahb.org/blog/2024/06/pro-builder-housing-giants"> National Association of Home Builders</a>, the top three homebuilders by revenue, closings, and home types are:
<ul>
<li>D.R. Horton, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHI#NYSE">DHI</a>): DHI stock has surged over 58% in the past year. Wells Fargo recently raised its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DHI/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast </a>to $220 from $210 while maintaining an Overweight rating. Investors can consider the iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITB#BATS">ITB</a>) for exposure.</li>
<li>Lennar Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>): LEN stock has risen more than 52% in the past year. Wells Fargo increased its price forecast to $195 from $185, also maintaining an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LEN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Overweight </a>rating. The AdvisorShares Gerber Kawasaki ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GK#NYSE">GK</a>) offers a way to invest in Lennar.</li>
<li>Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TOL#NYSE">TOL</a>): TOL stock has jumped over 75% in the past year. Wedbush raised its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TOL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> price forecast</a> to $148 from $120, keeping a Neutral rating. The Invesco Dorsey Wright Consumer Cyclicals Momentum ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEZ#NASDAQ">PEZ</a>) provides investment exposure.</li>
</ul>
Overall, the U.S. housing market is poised for stability this year, with modest price increases and benefits for homebuilders. Prices are projected to rise 3-5% annually through 2029, while mortgage rates are expected to stabilize above pre-pandemic levels, Norada reported. This evolving landscape, marked by a shift towards suburban and rural demand and technological advancements, will require buyers and investors to remain informed and adaptable, the report added.

Rate Cuts Coming: Is It The Perfect Time For Homebuyers To Strike Big Deals?

Trian Fund Management, an activist investor hedge fund co-founded by billionaire Nelson Peltz, still owns a piece of Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) after reportedly selling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/05/39078534/activist-investor-nelson-peltz-sells-entire-disney-stake-for-1b-after-losing-proxy-battle">its entire position</a> in late May, according to regulatory filings.
A quarterly 13-F report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15 shows that New York-based Trian had 32.4 million shares in the company worth a total of $3.96 billion during the first quarter.
A Thursday filing revealed that Trian sold 29.7 million shares worth $3.69 billion at some point in the second quarter. But the hedge fund still owns almost 2.65 million shares worth nearly $263 million.
Trian reportedly sold <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/05/39095549/the-rich-get-richer-how-one-billionaire-lost-but-still-made-hundreds-of-millions">its entire stake</a> in Disney at $120 a share as of May 29. The sale came after Peltz unsuccessfully tried to oust Disney CEO Bob Iger at an April shareholder meeting.

Investors voted against Peltz&#8217;s board nominees and moved to keep the entire board in place, including Iger. 
Peltz reportedly made $1 billion from the divestment, despite losing the activist battle against Disney.
The two 13-Fs also showed that Trian sold 539,884 shares of Ferguson Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FERG#NYSE">FERG</a>) that were worth more than $166 million during the second quarter. The deal left the firm with 1.95 million shares worth $378 million.
Trian also bought 3.55 million shares of UHaul for $78.6 million, 5.36 million shares of Solventum Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOLV#NYSE">SOLV</a>) for $284 million and 470,000 shares of Rentokil Initial plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTO#NYSE">RTO</a>) for $13.9 million. It sold 1.22 million shares of Sysco Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYY#NYSE">SYY</a>) for $99.3 million.
Price Action: Disney gained 2.66% to $88.60 by Thursday&#8217;s late-afternoon trading. Exchange-traded funds that track the stock also trended upward.

로스 거버, 캐시 우드 아니면 게리 블랙? 누구의 펀드가 2024년 S&P 500 수익률과 견줄만 할까?

월트 디즈니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>)의 픽사 애니메이션 스튜디오(Pixar Animation Studios)는 몇 달 전에 발표된 정리해고를 시행하며 직원의 약 14%에 해당하는 약 175명의 직원을 해고했다.
이러한 감원은 주로 디즈니+가 소비자에게 직접 판매하는 시리즈의 생산을 줄이는 데서 비롯된다. 데드라인(Deadline)에 <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/05/pixar-animation-studios-staff-reductions-disney-1235728605/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">따르면</a> CEO 밥 아이거(Bob Iger)는 2022년 11월 복귀한 이후 스트리밍에 대한 보다 엄격한 접근 방식을 옹호해 왔다.
더 보기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38915821/disneys-latest-unionization-cast-vote-could-signal-shifts-in-operational-costs-and-investor-outlook" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">디즈니의 최근 노조 결성 투표는 운영 비용과 투자자 전망의 변화를 나타낼 수 있다</a>
이번 인원 감축이 있었던 가운데, 픽사는 COVID-19 이후 모든 연령층을 아우르는 큰 히트를 제작하는 데 어려움을 겪고 있으며, 세 편의 영화가 스트리밍으로 바로 배급되었다.
이제 초점은 켈시 만(Kelsey Mann)이 감독한 "인사이드 아웃 2"의 출시로 옮겨지며, 이 영화는 6월 14일부터 16일까지의 아버지의 날 주말 동안 개봉되어 여름 주요 박스 오피스 성공작 중 하나로 예상된다.
이전에, 1월 12일 픽사의 한 내부 관계자가 데드라인에 디즈니의 콘텐츠 지출을 줄이려는 더 큰 전략의 일환으로 인력 감축 계획을 확인했다.
처음에는 테크크런치(TechCrunch)의 보도에서 최대 20%의 직원이 영향을 받을 수 있다고 제안했으나, 이후 규모가 축소되고 구체적인 일정이나 세부 사항은 정해지지 않았다.
이번 인원 감축은 이전 CEO인 밥 차펙(Bob Chapek)의 시절에 급증했던 픽사의 제작 워크플로를 조정하는 것과 관련이 있다.
5월에 디즈니는 전년 대비 1% 증가한 220억 8천만 달러의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/05/38669929/walt-disney-q2-earnings-profit-beat-moderating-parks-growth-password-sharing-crackdown-and-more" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">매출 증가</a>를 보고했으며, 애널리스트의 컨센서스 추정치인 221억 1천만 달러를 약간 하회했다. 조정된 주당 순이익(EPS) 1.21달러는 애널리스트의 컨센서스 추정치인 1.09달러를 상회했다.
애널리스트들은 디즈니의 최고급 프리미어 자산 모음을 주목했다. 그들은 디즈니의 단기적 촉매제로 회사의 전략적 우선순위와 DTC(Direct-to-Consumer) 부문의 수익성에 대한 업데이트를 언급했다.
지난 12개월 동안 월트 디즈니 주식은 12% 이상 상승했다. 이 주식에 노출될 수 있는 ETF는 AdvisorShares Gerber Kawasaki ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GK#NYSE">GK</a>)와 Vanguard Communication Services ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOX#NYSE">VOX</a>)가 있다.
주가 움직임: 화요일 디즈니의 주식은 0.11% 상승한 103.01달러에 마감되었다.
