"I feel that some opportunity remains in the large-cap space, especially in the dividend payers, despite the prospect of a rate tantrum. Ultimately, this is a better alternative for investors than doing nothing or just seeking returns from bonds," Luschini said.
However, Luschini warns investors should be prepared for a bumpy ride. "While growth stocks have performed well, they aren't cheap. If they receive less-than-perfect news, you better prepare for some downside volatility," Luschini said.
Large-caps are up more than seven percent over the past year, but are down one percent year-to-date.
