Strategy Commentary

Download Commentary

U.S. equities performed extremely well in the first quarter. Emboldened by the Fed’s accommodative pivot, investors shrugged off concerns about the economy, creating an environment that was the polar opposite of last year’s fourth quarter.

The Russell 3000® Value Index (RAV) returned 11.93%, with every sector posting strong gains – though the sectors and stocks that performed worst during the late 2018 sell-off tended to benefit most from this quarter’s profound change in sentiment.
