This is our new summary format of our quarterly client newsletter. You can read the full newsletter here.
Key Points:
- U.S. and global monetary policy took a dramatic turn in 2019
- Global economic growth likely bottomed in the fourth quarter of 2019
- U.S. economic growth likely to slow further until the first or second quarter of 2020
- Our highest conviction call for early 2020 is a weaker US dollar, with client accounts positioned accordingly
- We have a bullish outlook for the first half of the year, and have increased equity exposure near maximum levels
- U.S. political uncertainty will likely weigh on markets in the second half of 2020, which may lead us to move back to a neutral posture
