2018 Outlook: It’s Time for Balance and Flexibility
Despite the concerns surrounding financial markets, 2017 produced healthy returns. What will 2018 hold in store? In our 2018 Outlook, we give our perspective, including:
- While global economies continue to gain ground, market levels suggest a careful approach.
- Elevated valuations underscore that research is critical to uncover value.
- The rally in emerging market equities may have room to run.
- Fed rate hikes don’t have to translate to bond losses.
Better Opportunities Might Be Found Outside the U.S.
Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity, so they may lose value.
Investors should carefully consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other important information is contained in the fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses, which can be obtained from a financial professional and should be read carefully before investing.
