Topic: Understanding Market and Investment Themes in 2016
Presenter: JoAnne Feeney, PH.D, Advisors Capital Management, LLC
About the Program:
Dr. Feeney will present an overview of the past year’s unemployment and job markets, how the markets have performed and what to expect from those markets, as well as insight on what the Federal Reserve has done with interest rates and what they might do in the future. The presentation will include information on the current economy and its impact on the global market in 2016, will inform attendees on how to invest and obtain income in the current market conditions, and will provide tips for navigating markets across the world. In addition, Dr. Feeney will give an overview of the local Minnesota, United States and Global markets with an explanation of how those markets impact investment portfolios in the short and long term. Dr. Feeney has actively managed multi-billion dollars of assets and will provide attendees with the knowledge to manage their own.
Discussion topics will include:
- The bond market and its recent volatility.
- Corporates, Municipals and Treasuries—where are they headed and how do they react to interest rates?
- Fundamentals of the US markets. Are equities worth buying?
- Effects of Unemployment--what does a 5.5% unemployment historically look like?
- Investing for income—how proper withdrawal rates and market timing can have significant impacts.
