Ready for the Climb?

Over the past few months, the world has been emerging from a pandemic-induced hibernation, experiencing the environment in a way that has been impossible for over a year.

The stock market has awakened too. After a drop at the onset of the pandemic, it has risen to such heights during the economic recovery that inflation is becoming a concern for many investors.

Despite inflation’s negative connotation, it is not always a bad thing. As we explain in this blog post, increasing yields could signal the bond market’s belief that the economic recovery is real and sustainable.

Like hikers ascending a mountain, we believe it is best for investors to have the proper equipment. This summer, we invite you to bring the following gear* as you navigate this economic environment.
