Why active management is earning its keep
As indexes grow more concentrated in a handful of stocks, active managers like First Eagle Global are proving the value of true diversification.
March 2023 Capital Markets Perspective
January’s jubilation gave way to February’s malaise (everything was down) as the now familiar theme of “market starting to believe the Fed” played out. The 10.8 million job openings in January may have been down from the 11.2 million reported by the Labor Department[i] in December but remain significantly elevated relative to the 7 million […]
Market Commentary | February 21, 2023
Just past the halfway mark for the month, stocks have given up early gains as investors yet again process better-than-expected economic data.

On New Year’s Eve 2021, the yield on the 10-year Treasury stood at 1.52%. Fast […]
December 2022 Capital Markets Perspective
Investor enthusiasm for an end to the rate hike cycle was palpable in November; “The Market” just can’t wait for this to be over. But with every single asset class that we utilize in the portfolio construction process solidly in positive territory for the month, we suspect there is more than a little wishful thinking […]
