Last year’s developments help shape our expectations for the near future, and my 2017 Year End Review and 2018 Outlook attempts to convey the following:

• Interpret the dynamics that are driving capital markets
• Identify opportunities and risks in the year ahead
• Specify bullish and bearish drivers within various asset classes
• Indicate actions we are taking to keep client portfolio holdings well positioned and cost efficient

Our capital markets analysis filters this information through the following prisms:

• Key geopolitical policy developments, past and future, that are materially impacting investor sentiment and forward expectations for markets
• Central Bank policies
• Corporate earnings, bond yields, inflation, which are all driving Equity, Fixed Income, Foreign Exchange and Commodity Markets

My goal is to communicate thoughtful analysis that improves clients’ understanding, promotes a sense of empowerment, and helps clients manage their wealth which is essential to helping them achieve many of their life’s goals.
