Looking Ahead

The opinions expressed are those of LSA Portfolio Analytics and are no guarantee of future performance of any LSA Portfolio. This information is not intended to serve as investment advice; it is for educational purposes only.

• Economic Outlook – Moderate Growth—Continued Subdued Improvement, Not Robust Yet

– Inflation Contained Now, Could Rise Later

– Normalization of Interest Rates--Near- and Long-Term Rates Trending Moderately Higher

• Market Outlook– Overweights: U.S. Large Cap Growth Stocks; Short- Dated High Yield Corporate Bonds; Non-Agency MBS; Commercial MBS;

ARMs; CMOs, ABS; U.K., Norwegian, Swedish, Spanish, and Belgian Bonds, including credit positions (low BBB, BB) and Puerto Rican Municipal Bonds

– Underweights: U.S. Nominal Treasuries, Agency Debt, Fixed-Rated Agency MBS, U.S. Large Cap Value Stocks

– Other Positioning: Due to our expectations surrounding continued normalization of interest rates higher, we have shortened duration within our bond portfolios

• Items to Watch– How weather affected U.S. Growth and Inflation, and how changes in those areas could affect Fed Monetary Policy

– Conflict in Crimea
