U.S. equities performed poorly in the fourth quarter. What began as a modest pullback devolved into a market rout in December. In the end, it was the worst fourth quarter since 2008.

The Russell Midcap® Value Index (RMV) declined 14.95% in the fourth quarter. As tends to be the case in sudden, major pullbacks, selling pressure was widespread and largely indiscriminate.
