FYI: Client outlook for the U.S. stock market remains slightly bearish, but the proportion of clients who think they are “better off financially” and it’s a “good time to invest” has increased since December 2018.
The U.S. political landscape is overwhelmingly the leading concern about investing among clients. Additionally, a third of clients believe the next economic downturn will occur in the next year.
Confidence among clients overall remains steady but has declined slightly among younger and mid-life clients.

Ted
