For the second consecutive year, predicting the rate of inflation should prove to be the most important variable for investors to consider as we enter 2023. During the holiday season of 2021, the Fed’s median projection for the upper bound of the Fed Funds Rate for year-end 2022 was 1%, with the terminal rate forecast to ultimately reach 2.5%. Investors were happy with those estimates and stocks exited 2021 trading comfortably north of 20X forward earnings. The world then changed, causing most investors to suffer sizeable losses during 2022. In this note, we will review last year, discuss the performance of our funds and table our outlook for financial markets during 2023.
