Simon Hamilton and Chase Hinderstein Reflect on 2018 and Share What’s Next for the Market
The Wise Investor Group at Baird, a team of experienced financial professionals specializing in financial planning, portfolio management and investment analysis, has launched its annual outlook webinar, reflecting on the 2018 markets and forecasting sectors to watch this year.
Top Ranked Forbes’ and Barron’s adviser Simon Hamilton and fellow Portfolio Manager Chase Hinderstein deliver a comprehensive review of the markets, discuss what investors can expect in 2019 and share practical investment advice for selecting future investments.
During the webinar, Hamilton and Hinderstein review last year’s market volatility. 2018 was the first year the S&P 500 suffered a down year since the Great Recession in 2008 and was capped by a nine percent drop in December alone, the worst for the holiday season since 1930s.
“It can be hard to appreciate it when you’re in the midst of a decline, but we should be thankful this is true. Without risk there would be no reward and we wouldn’t be able to expect any return above the risk-free rates of treasuries or cash,”shared Hamilton, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager at The Wise Investor Group.
“Now is a great time to be a value investor,” said Hinderstein, Director and Portfolio Manager at The Wise Investor Group. “We focus on the quality of earnings, the predictability of long-term results that a company will deliver and the premiums that these attributes cost rather than taking an uncertain and often shifting macro view of the economy and the world.”
As value investors, The Wise Investor Group mitigates risk through a disciplined, research-based approach to build diversified portfolios of high-quality, attractively-valued companies.
“In a volatile, late-cycle environment such as 2019 may be, it’s imperative we’re discerning as not only growth becomes scarcer, but the absence of monetary or fiscal stimulus has the potential to lead to a larger divergence between winners and losers than we’ve seen in recent years,” continued Hamilton.
