CFA Society Hartford Annual Forecast Dinner Gala
2018 Annual Forecast Dinner - Tuesday, February 6, 2018
Keynote Speaker: Dr. David Kelly, CFA, Managing Director Chief Global Strategist, J.P. Morgan Asset Management
"Investing in 2018 and
Beyond: A Guide to the Markets"
In 2018, the U.S. economy should enter the 10th year of a long economic expansion. While the expansion has been slow, it has allowed for substantial gains in financial assets. In the year ahead, we expect somewhat higher inflation and a continued improvement in the global economy, in addition to some monetary tightening and fiscal stimulus. But what does this mean for investing? In this presentation, Dr. David Kelly will explore the U.S. and global investment environment, and consider how to position portfolios given investment fundamentals, potential risks and current valuations.
