Strategy Commentary

Though investors seem outwardly skittish, the third quarter’s procession of headlines – each one conceivably unsettling enough to derail this longest-ever bull market – came and went with fairly little consequence. 

The Russell Midcap® Value Index (RMV) generated a 1.22% return, despite a major disruption in the global oil supply, a prolonged trade dispute between the world’s largest economies, renewed and amplified appeals for presidential impeachment, and turmoil in the repo market. But much like last quarter – indeed much like the last 15 years – Q3 felt more tempestuous than its point-to-point return would indicate and revealed new opportunities for patient investors.
