What should investors keep top-of-mind when evaluating the markets?
According to Brian Jacobsen, chief portfolio strategist; Jim Kochan,
chief fixed-income strategist; and John Manley, chief equity strategist,
investors may want to focus on:
1.Following the flow of liquidity worldwide
-
Look for diversification from geographically dispersed
investments. Foreign investments could add some growth to a portfolio.
-
Ride out market volatility. Sell-offs will likely be followed by
reversals, as investors learn that the Federal Reserve is genuine in
being gradual with any rate hikes.
-
Be discriminating. Not all markets are going to rise and fall together.
2.Following the shift from U.S. to foreign growth
-
Have some exposure to emerging markets. We think emerging markets have
the potential to grow faster than developed markets over the next
three to five years.
-
Invest in Europe. Europe’s economy has been understimulated, but that
is beginning to change.
-
Look for opportunities in financials, energy, industrials, and
technology.
3.Following the Fed and the global hunt for yield
-
Focus on compounding interest income rather than holding low or
no-yield investments such as cash equivalents.
-
Wait for higher yields and wider spreads in the international,
municipal, and investment-grade markets before allocating more to
those areas.
-
Diversify your fixed-income holdings in both developed and emerging
markets to help manage unknown risks, but be extra careful within the
energy-focused emerging markets.
