Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: In 2017 equity investors enjoyed one of the best years in history (see table, below ). The absolute returns were remarkable in every major region, and rarely have we seen such breadth across sectors. This lined up with our view that the global economy was in the midst of its most synchronous expansion since the financial crisis.
