In our Fall 2022 Investor Letter we discuss the current investing environment and the challenges investors face due to the fact most investment vehicles have generated a negative return this year. Historically, investors in a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds would be insulated in an equity market decline with the bond or fixed income holdings rising in value. Rick Rieder, chief investment officer of global fixed income and head of their global allocation team for BlackRock, was quoted in a recent Wall Street Journal article, “In 50 years we haven’t seen debt and equity markets fall this much in unison.” As of August 2022, 104 out of 112 asset classes have generated a negative return according to Morningstar data.
Charlie Bilello of Compound Advisors prepared a table of prior corrections for the S&P 500 Index that were greater than 5%. The current correction that began on January 4 of this year is the longest since the March 2009 low.
Our Fall 2022 Investor Letter discusses events currently impacting the market and our market thoughts as we look to year end and into 2023.
