BVTV: 2018 YTD – meeting consensus expectations?

By Pilar Arroyo

As we have now reached the halfway point of 2018, it seems like a good occasion to take stock and see whether the year has lived up to consensus expectations so far. With more news surprises and volatility so far than in 2017, how do the market’s predictions for which asset classes would perform best look today? Watch the latest episode of BVTV as I review year-to-date returns and look at why there has been divergence between expectations and reality.

The value of investments will fluctuate, which will cause prices to fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount you invested. Past performance is not a guide to future performance.
