Key Takeaways
Global economic fundamentals have generally deteriorated in the past three months, but much of that may already be priced into markets.

While there are attractive opportunities in some areas of the market, our advice to clients remains to focus on their long-term allocations and diversifying across asset classes, geographies, and sectors to allow portfolios to perform regardless of economic and geopolitical events.
