2022 First Quarter Review

Marc To Markets

It has been an eventful quarter in the markets. We have had the first major conflict in Europe in decades, inflation at levels that we have not seen in 40+ years, Coronavirus shutting down large parts of China, and the Fed beginning to move interest rates meaningfully higher for the 1st time in what feels like forever. Topics covered include:

• The impact of the Ukraine war on the global economic outlook and the market
• Inflation and our outlook for the Fed’s response
• Recent price movements in the bond market and how to think about it both short and long-term
• Recent stock volatility and the dispersion fueling market results
• Ideas for your asset allocation to deal with the current environment
