The Institute outlines five shifts shaping the
investment landscape
Against the backdrop of the 2016 elections and a transition of
the U.S. government, Wells Fargo Investment Institute (WFII) today
released the 2017 Outlook report ‘Seeing Things Differently,’ which
addresses five factors that will influence the investing landscape
for next year and beyond.
“This year was filled with many surprises and uncertainty in the
global markets, including geopolitical factors such as the Chinese
economy, the U.K.’s Brexit vote, and most recently the outcome of
the U.S. elections. But, if investors were looking solely at these
events, they wouldn’t have seen what was quietly happening in the
background – nearly all asset classes were moving higher,” said
Darrell Cronk, President of Wells Fargo Investment
Institute. “A year like 2016 reminds us that seeing beyond the
day-to-day market volatility matters when it comes to investment
performance.”

Wells Fargo Investment Institute sees five shifts that investors
should watch closely next year:
- Improving U.S. consumer strength,
- Stabilizing commodity prices,
- Inflation trending back toward
historical averages,
- Rising interest rates, and
- Increasing potential for geopolitical
volatility.
The report provides the latest market and economic forecasts for
2017 and highlights four long-term themes likely to impact the
global financial markets.
- The divided recovery looks at
the impact on who has and hasn’t benefited from the economic
recovery, the surge in protectionism, and what the future may hold
for labor markets.
- Policies of change examines
trade policy, global trends from central banks, and the regulatory
environment.
- The agile investor shows how to
navigate investment decisions in an ever-changing world.
- Investing across generations
looks at how to prepare for changing consumption patterns,
retirement issues, and the transfer of wealth from the boomers to
millennials.
