Monetary Policy Dominated the Last Decade, What’s Ahead?
Don’t fight the Fed, as the saying goes. But at this point, it’s reasonable to ask how much fight the Federal Reserve (Fed) has left. The Fed played an oversized role in stimulating markets over the past decade and became an indefinite backstop.

A byproduct of that shift was a surge in exchanged traded-funds (ETFs) and subsequently ETF model portfolios.

Q4 Review and Outlook: Have the Clouds Lifted?

Income Monitor: Q3 2019
The beginning of Q4 marked the closing of the Federal Reserve’s second round of interest rate cutting. The Fed cut rates for the third time in 2019 in October. The yield curve steepened with the Fed’s latest round of stimulus. A brief period of flattening gave rise to concerns about the economy, but those fears subsided on stronger domestic economic numbers. The challenge, once again, is how investors find income. We expect the Fed to hold rates steady from here, but there’s close to no real yield from traditional fixed income investments today.

Meet the Sector Disruptors
Equity sectors themselves have rarely changed, but the composition of companies within each sector evolves over time as we transition from one economic era to the next. We believe that we are in the early stages of a period of significant disruption, given rapid advancements in technology and changing demographics and consumer preferences.

Q3 Review and Outlook: Red Light or Yellow
The third quarter was enough to make your head spin. The green light investors had in the first half flashed yellow at the start of Q3. Now, we see some red in that light after a roughly 50-basis point backup in the 10-year US Treasury yield, louder recession chatter following an inversion of the yield curve, a major rotation to defensive sectors and leadership shifting to value. Add politics to the lengthy list of Q4 uncertainties and it’s no wonder investors may feel a little dizzy.
