We are pleased to share our 2022 Capital Markets Forecast. This annual research piece is the foundation of our investment process, and the projections herein form the basis of the strategies we design to help our clients achieve their goals.

This year’s edition, “Beyond the Horizon,” updates our longer-run views of the opportunity set and addresses critical questions two years after the 2020 market bottom:

  • How have secular cycles, a multi-million dollar stimulus, and central bank intervention affected the economic cycle? Within this context, how will inflation and interest rates affect portfolios?
  • What portfolio diversification and asset allocations match your financial goals?
  • In what sectors do we see opportunity as we look beyond the horizon?
  • Where should you invest in the private markets and how should you construct your portfolio?

Our forecast provides the quantitative blueprint for the steps we are taking designed to both manage risk and maximize opportunities in 2022 and beyond.

We hope you find this year’s Capital Markets Forecast informative in understanding what is realistic to expect from today’s starting point.

Please reach out to a relationship manager or any member of the Investment Strategy Team with questions.
