How Investors Can Navigate Growing Concerns in Q4 2021

As we begin the final quarter of 2021, the economy is shifting from a recovery phase to a sustained expansion. Investor sentiment has shifted alongside this, swinging from bullishness to bearishness. This is understandable because, while the underlying trends are positive, it's no longer the case that the economy and markets have nowhere to go but up. Challenges such as the pace of growth, fears of stagflation, debt problems in China, Fed policy, the government debt ceiling and more are weighing on investors' minds. How can investors balance risk and reward with a long-term perspective during the final months of the year?

Why Investors Need Perspective When Markets Decline

As it often does, the stock market has hit a rough patch due to concerns around the delta variant, economic growth, interest rates and more. Although no two market pullbacks are exactly alike, there have already been several periods of short-term volatility this year in response to similar headlines.

What Is “Sustainable Investing” and Is It Right for You?

Over the past several years, the idea of an investment strategy designed to promote a healthy planet and population has moved from being a niche project into the investing mainstream. You can invest in funds that align with a variety of environmental and social goals: companies with female CEOs, companies that promote anti-racism, carbon-neutral companies – there are endless possibilities.

Can we meet environmental or social goals without compromising the fundamentals of prudent – and successful – investment practices? Today, I want to look at one definition of a “sustainable” investment strategy. Understanding what it is (or can be) is important if you want to consider incorporating such a strategy into your own investment program.
