Why Do US Stocks Outperform EM and EAFE Regions?

5.January 2024

Investing in emerging markets (EM) or developed markets (DM) outside of the United States tends to follow cyclical trends.

What’s the FED Perspective on Inflation Surprises and Equity Returns

21.December 2023

The period of high inflation in the 1970s prompted researchers to carefully examine the relationship between inflation and stock returns and to look for ways to avoid unexpected inflation. The year 2022 brought back inflationary pressures to the U.S. economy not seen in more than 40 years, and this has spurred new efforts to answer long-standing questions about inflation and asset prices. Authors from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (2023) bring a fresh perspective on this topic, and their paper allows us to get a FED insider’s view on the ageless question of how inflation affects equity returns.
