2023 Outlook – CorePlus Wealth Management

Post author By Eric Blackburn
Post date January 3, 2023

2022 was a dizzying year as markets and the global economy continued to find itself out of balance due to the still present aftereffects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the policy response to it. If 2022 was about recognizing imbalances that had built in the economy and starting to address them, we believe 2023 will be about setting ourselves up for what comes next as the economy and markets find their way back to steadier ground. The process of finding balance may continue to be challenging and we may even see a recession, but underlying fundamentals could create opportunities in stock and bond markets that were difficult to find in 2022.

LPL Financial Strategic and Tactical Asset Allocation Committee has provided an outlook on the following topics:
1) Economy
2) Stocks
3) Bonds

The CorePlus Wealth Management Services at CorePlus is staffed by Mr. Holland Rajaniemi who can help you map out a personal financial management program.

To set a no-cost, no-obligation appointment, call Holland Rajaniemi at (860) 885-3680, or email at [email protected].
