Q4 2023 Market Update

2/12/2024

 
From your Investment Strategy Team:
​​2023 was the best terrible year in recent history. While sentiment remained depressed throughout
the year, markets ignored the noise and went on a year-end run that rivals anything we have seen in the last decade. Overall, the year provided many important lessons in investing, with clear examples of why timing markets and letting emotions dictate decisions is rarely a good idea. In the short term, we remain cautiously optimistic about the prospects for 2024, even as we expect somewhat choppy returns. In the long term, many of the macro themes we have previously hit on (innovation, uncertain geopolitics, aging demographics, and higher inflation) remain in play and could once again impact markets.

Adding to the good news was an upward revision of 126k jobs in the prior two months.
