Flash talk by Nat Kellogg, CFA at Marquette’s 2017 Investment Symposium

We recap a year of surprises and market reactions including Brexit, the 2016 U.S. election, and France’s 2017 presidential election in this session. The lesson to be learned from a year of exciting politics is similar to market performance: forecasting is difficult if not impossible and solely making decisions based on current events can lead investors down an uncertain path.
