Some important developments occurred in the second quarter of 2017. During our 3rd quarter Investment Landscape conference call, we discussed:
- A coordinated pickup in economic growth across developed and emerging markets, which coincides with an upswing in corporate earnings growth.
- Increasing confidence of central banks which suggests tighter monetary policies in the future.
- Strong equity market performance, driven by positive earnings trends.
- Continued depreciation of the U.S. dollar, and its implications for international and domestic assets.
- Realized and implied volatility remains low across asset classes, especially in equities.
