Submitted by Group W - Investment Management on January 6th, 2023

Submitted by Group W - Investment Management on October 1st, 2022

Investor sentiment is quite unsettled these days.  Most market participants have memories of the Great Recession of 2007-2009, if not the economic malaise of the 1970s, and wonder if we are headed for a reprise of those dark days.  It is a reasonable concern given all the unusual economic and geo-political events of recent times.  Stubbornly high inflation, ongoing disorder in di
