FYI: U.S. investors pushed equity funds to their strongest quarterly gains since Q4 2010 while hanging on every bit of news concerning the U.S./China trade negotiations and Federal Reserve Board meetings during the quarter. For Q1 2019, the average equity fund posted a 12.64% gain, with Lipper’s U.S. Diversified Equity Funds (USDE) macro-classification (+13.27%) outpacing the other three major equity groups for the second quarter in three. In this segment, I highlight the Q1 and March 2019 performance results for equity mutual funds and ETFs.
