A Market Perspective: 2016 Recap and a 2017 Outlook
As we turn over the calendar to 2017, we recognize that 2016 turned out to be an interesting year for the financial markets, singularly impacted by the results of a highly contested U.S. presidential race. While most major financial markets finished with strong results for calendar 2016, the ride was anything but smooth. The 2017 outlook remains volatile, given uncertainty over the policies of the new Trump administration, forthcoming, important elections in Europe and concerns over just how high interest rates may rise.
Join us at this live interactive webinar as we provide a review of the world financial markets in 2016 and a preview of investment themes to focus on in 2017. Highlights include:
- Which sectors of the global equity markets outperformed in 2016 and which sectors may be poised to lead in 2017
- What impact the U.S. election results had on world markets
- The outlook for interest rates and the bond market in 2017
- Investment risks to be aware of as we enter the new year
