2018 markets were tough on most investors. The volatility increase at the end of 2018 made investors nervous, and many economists think that volatility is here to stay. On February 1st at our First Friday Networking at Noon event, we reviewed 2018 markets and providing a market outlook for 2019. Hans Blake, CFA, CPA was joined by Dr. Jeffrey Roach, our Director of Research. We provided some key insights and outlooks regarding the macroeconomic environment around the world.
