2021 OUTLOOK
Turning points on the road to recovery
We may one day look back on 2021 as a major turning point for the global economy, public health, politics and the digital age. This 2021 Outlook puts the coming year in perspective.
Economic growth is making a comeback
Growth will bounce back for major economies in 2021, according to the International Monetary Fund. But “all forecasts depend on the trajectory of the coronavirus vaccines,” says economist Jared Franz.
U.S. OUTLOOK
The future is here, and it’s digital
Digital leaders across industries are leaping ahead of the competition, disrupting the status quo as consumers rapidly form new habits.
Great acceleration reshapes U.S. economic landscape
People were shopping and accessing health care online before COVID, but the pandemic has amplified demand and created opportunity for digitally savvy companies.
INTERNATIONAL OUTLOOK
Think all innovation is in the U.S.? Think again
European and Asian companies are leaders in advancing the use of some of tomorrow’s technology, like renewable energy and digital payments.
Cash is no longer king
With the U.S. dollar potentially nearing its peak, select innovators abroad might offer compelling investment opportunities.
FIXED INCOME OUTLOOK
Core bond strength matters when life is uncertain
2020 brought the fastest equity market decline in history, showing how important it is to continue to hold high-quality bonds as a buffer to market volatility.
Strong core allocations remain a smart strategy
With interest rates near zero, investors may be tempted to abandon core bonds. But high-quality bonds have shown positive returns regardless of rates.
