Strategy Commentary

Download Commentary

The scale and speed of this quarter’s equity market rout were unprecedented, marked by the fastest bear market descent in U.S. history. The wholesale selloff was staggering and unforeseen, but with no historical analog for the unfolding coronavirus pandemic and economic landscape, it was in many respects understandable.

Against this backdrop, the Russell 3000® Value Index (RAV) declined by 27.32%, the worst quarterly result since its inception. Performance was broadly negative across Index constituents, ranging from bad in the Utilities and Consumer Staples sectors to atrocious in Energy, where freefalling demand converged with free-flowing supply.
