So, what can we expect in 2019?

The investment environment is clearly becoming more challenging as the global economic cycle matures. With economic growth, global politics, and central bank stimulus all at turning points, volatility has risen and draw downs are becoming more commonplace. Investors should expect more of the same in 2019, as markets begin to try to anticipate an end to the cycle.

Where are we now?
