Q3 Market update & outlook

DATE: Wednesday, October 19th

TIME: 12:00pm to 1:00pm EST

Recent market volatility and continued worries around inflation and rising interest rates have recently sparked investor concerns about what lies ahead. Please join iCM’s Chief Investment Officer, Michael Paciotti CFA, and Director of Investments, Ryan Lehman CFA, as they address these concerns, along with the following topics:

• The Fed has embarked on a historic rate hike campaign in an effort to tame stubbornly high inflation. What impacts have we seen on the economy thus far? Have their actions gone too far…. or possibly not far enough?

• Bond yields have soared to their highest levels in more than a decade. Is the pain finally over in fixed income, and what type of returns can investors expect going forward?

• U.S. equities ended Q3 squarely in bear market territory, as valuations have declined from near-historically high levels. Does this present a buying opportunity for investors, or do additional headwinds potentially lie on the horizon?

• Rising rates and a general flight to safety have caused the U.S. dollar to soar to its highest level in two decades. How has this impacted returns for non-U.S. assets, and how has it changed the relative attractiveness of non-U.S. stocks as we look ahead?
