Markets have reentered record territory, and even with the challenges and unknowns we face, we believe that the current environment offers opportunities for long-term investors with well-diversified portfolios. This webinar offers a valuable opportunity to hear from some of our chief investment strategists—Chairman Dan Wiener, Chief Investment Officer Jim Lowell, Director of Research Jeff DeMaso, Vice President Steve Johnson and Equity Research Analyst Kate Austin—as they discuss critical subjects for investors like you.

Chief Investment Officer Jim Lowell joined CNBC to share his perspective on recent interest-rate cuts and prudent investor strategies built to withstand market volatility. Jim emphasized his belief that the U.S. economy’s strong fundamentals did not validate recent rate reductions. Jim remarked, “Our Fed may be tipping a little more towards trying to be proactive rather than reactive—I think that’s dangerous: They need to remain data-dependent.” Jim further noted that the current investing environment reaffirms the need for investors to remain well-diversified with an actively managed portfolio that includes short-term bonds and cash.

Chief Investment Officer Jim Lowell appeared on CNBC World and discussed the market’s jittery mood in recent weeks, saying that though the data still shows a slow-growth economy here at home, there are clear threats to global growth and reason for investors to be nervous—but the Fed’s recent attempts to anticipate the market’s moves rather than react to them may further erode confidence.

Adviser Investments’ Chief Investment Officer Jim Lowell appeared on CNBC’s “Squawk Alley” to share his perspective on the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s 800-point drop on August 14, 2019. Although that 3% pullback marks the index’s greatest point decline this year and the fourth-largest of all time, Jim noted that investors should be making sure that their short-term income needs are met and that their long-term goals haven’t changed in what he thinks will continue to be a “momentum-driven market with a lot of volatility.” Jim also emphasized that the investing environment will remain challenging “not just for nerves, but also for those of us who take our task seriously and put shareholder interests first.”

Adviser Investments Senior Vice President Chris Keith joined NBC10 on August 14, 2019 to comment on the day’s 3% declines for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite. Chris pointed out that although this market volatility can be worrisome for short-term investors, long-term economic indicators remain strong. In the meantime, he recommended that investors diversify with high-quality bonds that continue to “do their job” despite the fact that bond yields are currently experiencing multi-year lows.

Adviser Investments’ Chief Investment Officer Jim Lowell appeared on CNBC on August 9, 2019. Along with co-panelist Kristina Hooper, Jim discussed recession fears and where to find opportunity in the current investing environment. Highlighting small- and mid-cap emerging markets, dividend-growth stocks, and select health-care opportunities as potential bright spots, Jim noted, “Long-term, we think this is the kind of market that creates opportunities. Near term, we absolutely understand that it’s the day-to-day event-driven news that’s determining both the direction, the velocity and the volatility of the momentum.”
