Some important developments occurred in the fourth quarter of 2021. During the Verus 1st Quarter 2022 Investment Landscape webinar, we discussed:

  • Economic imbalances resulting from the pandemic which have become front-and-center for business leaders, as the U.S. faces an unprecedented labor shortage, widespread supply chain issues, and rising input costs
  • High inflation and the Federal Reserve’s pivot towards tighter monetary policy
