2016 Market Preview

January 27, 2016 | Greg Leonberger, FSA, EA, MAAA, FCA, Director of Research, Managing Partner

Similar to previous years, we offer our annual market preview newsletter. Each year presents new challenges to our clients, and 2016 is off to a volatile start with equity markets down significantly, oil dropping below $30, the Fed poised to further increase interest rates, and fears of a China slowdown rippling through the markets. However, other headlines will emerge as the year goes on, and it is critical to understand how asset classes will react to each new development and what such reactions will mean to investors. The following articles contain insightful analysis and key themes to monitor over the coming year, themes which will underlie the actual performance of the asset classes covered.
