It’s always difficult to invest at all-time highs. But surprisingly, all-time highs are a great time to buy, even if it doesn’t feel like it at the time. Despite the emotional hurdle you may face, the data shows that on average since 1970, the S&P 500 has done better 1, 3, and 5 years after making an all-time high vs. picking a random day. In our market outlook attached below, we provide a full breakdown of our market predictions for the rest of the year. "When positive expectations get too high and everyone decides to sit on one side of the boat, we start to worry. With that said, the sheer volume of capital in the system leads us to believe that this positive performance can be maintained over the longer term, even if there is some period of consolidation to contend with along the way." #investing #finance #wealthmanagement Brendan Holt Dunn Michael O'Connor CFA QFA Germaine Bullard Philip Stewart

Is higher inflation here to stay? CPI (consumer Price Index) has come in hotter than expected, up 0.3% in January. Another negative blow to those expecting unrelenting rate cuts this year. With the economic data still showing signs of strength, there really is no sense of urgency for policymakers to act. The last drop is often the hardest to squeeze out, especially when you have positive real wages, a strong labour market and a resilient consumer at the helm. A bumpy road ahead for those expecting inflation to fall neatly into place. #wealthmanagement #wealthcreation #familyoffice #investing #inflation
