“The year 2022 provided an environment filled with several challenges, with spiking inflation, historic interest rate hikes by central banks and rising geopolitical tensions. The first half of the year was marked by the worst concurrent correction in the stock and bond markets in 50 years, which posted negative returns from -10% to -30%.

In this unusual context, and with few places for investors to hide, all of our asset classes outpaced their respective indexes.”
