A variety of important developments occurred in the fourth quarter of 2016. During our 1st quarter Investment Landscape conference call, we discussed:
- A rosier outlook for U.S. economic growth, as suggested by improving business and consumer confidence
- Rising inflation and inflation expectations around the globe
- Impacts of the U.S. presidential election on capital markets, and why this shifts our expectations for domestic equities
- A stronger U.S. dollar, which continues to negatively impact portfolios with unhedged currency exposure
