ACG Market Review – Q3 2022

By ACG, resources, October 13, 2022

The Federal Reserve was slow to raise rates earlier in 2022 when the consensus view was that inflation was more “transitory.” But, as inflation remained stubbornly elevated, the Fed increased the pace and magnitude of rate hikes.

ACG’s Capital Markets Review

By ACG, resources, September 12, 2022

Equities staged an abrupt reversal in mid-August and finished down for the month. The S&P 500 started the month on a strong note, with the index rallying above the 4300 level by mid-month, but quickly retreated below the 4000 level to end August. The early month rally focused on the narrative of peak inflation and a potentially less hawkish Federal Reserve. By late August, however, fears of the recent rally being a bear market bounce got more traction and eventually won out.

U.S equites were down in June, with the S&P 500 posting its second-worst monthly performance of the year and moving the index deeper into bear market territory. Hotter-than-expected inflation and the Federal Reserve response in addition to recession worries remained the core narrative and resulted in a board risk-off atmosphere for the month.

U.S. equities ended the month of May essentially unchanged. The final tally, however, masked a great deal of intra-month volatility. The S&P 500 initially fell an additional 8% vs. the prior month end and hit an intra-day low on May 20th that stood (at least for a few minutes) just below the bear market threshold of a 20% peak-to-trough loss. At that point, the market rallied sharply over the next few sessions to close the month nearly flat.

Outside of the COVID-19 sell-off during the spring of 2020 and a couple other blips along the way, markets have been in a state of steady ascent since the Great Financial Crisis. 2022 thus far has felt like a paradigm shift as markets have turned bearish quickly.

Implications of Higher Rates

By ACG, resources, May 7, 2022

Beginning in the early 1980s, when the Federal Funds rate in the United States hit a historical high of 20%, interest rates have trended towards secular decline. A generally high demand for U.S. debt, actions taken by the Federal Reserve, in conjunction with other factors have pushed interest rates into the historically low-rate environment we have experienced in recent years.

Thinking About Fossil Fuel Divestment

By ACG, resources, May 6, 2022

Setting the stage for the investment implications of divesting from fossil fuel companies is difficult without a quick aside into some science and history. As with many modern problems, there is much more nuance surrounding climate change and fossil fuels than the rhetoric shows.

Think Global Not Local

By ACG, resources, May 5, 2022

The 2010s was the decade of U.S. stocks and bonds as the Traditional 60-40 portfolio (60% U.S. stocks and 40% U.S. bonds) outperformed a globally diversified portfolio.

Housing Crash Redux

By ACG, resources, May 4, 2022

For decades, buying a home has been a part of the American Dream.
