2017 Outlook

Now that 2017 is in full swing, your Virtus Wealth Management Team would like to wish you a happy, prosperous New Year! Looking back, 2016 was an exciting and uncertain year with the election at the forefront.  The results were unexpected by Wall Street and dramatically affected the market at the end of the year.  The question now is where do we go from here.

Our 2017 Outlook is complete and will be mailed out in February.  Please watch your mail for it because it will give insight into:

• How do we think Trump’s policy will affect the market overall?
• What do we expect for domestic stocks?  Are domestic valuations an   issue?  Are there opportunities in specific sectors?
• Currently, international stocks are under-valued relative to domestic stocks. Do we see opportunities there?
• We are now in a rising interest rate environment. Is fixed income dead?

We look forward to a prosperous 2017. Virtus Wealth Management is grateful for many things, especially our great relationships with you.
