One Year Later, What’s Next?

April 26, 2021 | Greg Leonberger, FSA, EA, MAAA, FCA, Partner, Director of Research

Welcome to our inaugural quarterly client newsletter! As a way of introduction, I am Greg Leonberger, Director of Research here at Marquette. I have had the privilege of meeting many of you over the years, and for those that I have not worked with previously, please accept this virtual introduction; my hope is to meet many more of you in person once in-person meetings resume. As I embark on this newsletter series, the goal each quarter is relatively simple: provide you with our views on capital markets, the economy, emerging risks as well as opportunities, and hopefully stitch in a few anecdotes to make for a more engaging connection with our readers.

Highlights from this edition:

  • One year anniversary of the equity market trough in 2020
  • COVID-19: lingering uncertainty, vaccine progress, economic recovery
  • Equities update: value and small-cap outperformance, valuations, TINA
  • Fixed income: reflation trade and interest rates, spreads
  • Alternatives: opportunities in real estate, hedge funds, and private markets
  • Inflation worries: money supply and commodity prices
