U.S. equity markets ended the year on a very strong note, with indices reaching record highs. Investor optimism was buoyed by easing trade tensions and indications of diminishing recession risks.

Against this backdrop, the Russell 3000® Value Index (RAV) generated a 7.48% return. Notably, growth outperformed value and bond-proxy sectors underperformed the broader market. For the full year period, US equity indices – soothed by the Fed’s accommodative monetary policy pivot – were up broadly and significantly, posting returns upwards of 20%, with particular strength in Technology.
