Market Report as of October 17, 2022

From Chief Investment Officer Tom Veale, “The skirmishes we’ve been seeing between Bulls and Bears continued last week. At this point there is no clear winner, just ongoing daily battles.

Market Report as of October 10, 2022

From Chief Investment Officer Tom Veale, “Another week of apparent chaos on the trading floor has passed – but maybe it was just more sorting out.

Market Risk Report as of September 6, 2022

From Chief Investment Officer Tom Veale, August closed out with the S&P 500 Index down over 4%. The good news is our various portfolio strategies did better than that for the month.

Market Risk Report as of August 29, 2022

From Chief Investment Officer Tom Veale, There can be two ways to view last Friday’s close. 1) The Dow was off more than 1000 points! 2) The Dow dropped about 3% on Friday.
