As we hit our stride in 2023, the headlines continue to bombard us with news of an imminent recession, continued inflation, additional interest rate hikes, a cooling housing market, and reduced consumer spending. 

And while these are all relevant concerns, there is good news to highlight as well. For example, strategists have warned of recession for 13 months, yet it hasn’t materialized. Inflation has lowered for seven consecutive months. We likely are closer to the end of the interest-rate hiking cycle than the beginning. Income and consumption levels are trending higher. The January 2023 employment report shows the labor market continues to be healthy. And international markets have proven to be a bright spot over the last 90 days.

I host Jack Manley from J.P. Morgan Asset Management to discuss the 2023 Investment Outlook. In the 38-minute webinar, Jack shares his perspective on various hot topics: 

• Economic slowdown vs. recession
• Inflation expectations and outlook 
• Likelihood of further interest rate hikes
• Trends in income, consumption, and employment
• Expectations for the fixed income, equity, and international markets
• Importance of diversification within your long-term investment strategy

As we move forward into 2023, rest assured that your advisors at Potentia Wealth are continually evaluating client portfolios to help ensure they are appropriately diversified and positioned to weather the current economic environment.
