In our opinion, these were the most important stories in Q2… |
|
|
|
|
|
While equity markets were positive in the second quarter of 2019, volatility returned to the markets. The S&P 500 Index had increased by 4.3%, TSX by 2.6%, MSCI World by 4.0% and MSCI Emerging Markets by 0.6%. Unlike the linear increase witnessed in the first quarter however, the path to gains was choppy as most equity markets experienced meaningful losses in May before generally gaining it all back (and more) in June to end the quarter strongly. |

As we enter Q3, the points below have our Investment Team's attention... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The implementation of tariffs by the current U.S. administration will likely have significant long-term implications, not only in how countries negotiate with the United States, but also in how both domestic and international businesses realign their approach to international markets. By simply focusing on the near-term impact on profits and trade volumes, the attention thus far has been on next quarter’s earnings but fails to consider what is likely to be a significant long-term change in corporate behaviour. Similarly, framing trade in a bilateral context misses the multilateral aspects of trade and how those relationships will change in the future. It is likely that regardless of the resolution to the trade issue, the U.S. will be worse off for embarking on this strategy. |
