White papersUnited States - Quarterly Research 2Q 2020
The U.S. economy is awakening from the induced coma designed to “flatten the curve” of COVID-19. As activity resumes and businesses reopen, data for everything from jobs to consumption is showing a rebound from the stunningly depressed levels in the second quarter. For many data series, the initial shape of the rebound will undoubtedly be V-like, giving hope that the recovery will be as swift as the collapse. Unfortunately, the V-shape may say more about the speed and severity of the downturn than the path ahead, particularly as the curve of infections in the U.S. steepens with surging new case counts across much of the South and West.

White papersThe Case for US Equities in Global Portfolios
The post-pandemic market reality accentuates the attractiveness of the US stock market. Similar to the period after the Great Financial Crisis, we believe the medium-to-long-term landscape once again favors companies with records of large-cap secular growth, stability and defensiveness.
