2023 US Equity Market Outlook Update (Still Traveling Along A Bumpy Road)

Today in the podcast, a refresh of our 2023 outlook. The three big things you need to know: First, we’re sticking with our 4,100 YE 2023 S&P 500 target. We continue to view 2023 as another year of messy post-crisis normalization, similar to the 2010-2011 and 2002-2003 periods. Second, we see a relatively balanced risk/reward between Growth and Value for the balance of the year, though Growth is likely to bear the brunt of renewed inflation/Fed fears in the very near-term. Third, we continue to prefer Small Caps to Large Caps, though we admit that the setup for Small Caps is less compelling than it was last July when we turned overweight Small Caps.
