The new year arrived with the expectation for a global economic growth deceleration, tighter U.S. monetary policy and continued US - China trade tension.

Check your long-term direction and your investment plan in order to avoid being forced to liquidate assets at the most unfortunate moment.

Positioning for 2019
We are navigating or models towards a neutral stance ahead of a year that will mark the longest economic expansion in the history of the US market. With that said, we still like equities but only the most fundamentally sound one.

Stay alert and attentive for opportunities to shape your portfolio.
