Deep dives
Earnings acceleration expected in 2024
Earnings are anticipated to continue to accelerate throughout 2024, which is a positive trend for long-term investors. This, combined with the potential for the Fed to cut rates at some point this year and the upcoming election cycle, creates a strong recipe for market movement.
Patient approach rewarded for long-term investors
Long-term investors who remained patient over the past two years have been rewarded, as the S&P 500 has only seen a cumulative increase of 7% during that time. This highlights the importance of sticking to a long-term investment strategy.
Overbought market calls for patience and opportunities
While the current market shows signs of being overbought, it is important for investors to be patient and wait for potential pullbacks. This creates opportunities to enter the market at more favorable levels.
Diversified portfolio allocation
A well-balanced and diversified portfolio is recommended for investors, including allocations to private equity, private credit, real estate, and equities. This approach helps protect wealth and achieve a good risk-adjusted return over time.
