Bull vs. Bear: Value Investing Status — “It's Complicated”

Banks like First Citizens and First Republic Bank saw their shares rebound on Monday morning two weeks after the largest U.S. banking collapse since the global financial crisis. But some are saying we aren't out of the woods yet.

Banks Rebound (But Doubt Remains)

Not surprisingly, it was a volatile week for markets amid what VettaFi Financial Futurist Dave Nadig called “the world's most boring banking crisis.” Although investors began trading on Friday fearful that contagion had spread to Deutsche Bank, markets rallied, ending the week on a higher note.

Markets Bounce in Wake of Banking Crisis, Rate Hike

In its attempt to bring inflation down to 2%, the Federal Reserve announced its intention to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, raising the target range for the federal funds rate to 4.75% and 5%. While inflation has come down to 6% for the 12 months ended February from its peak of 9.

Stocks, particularly banking stocks, fell Friday as regulators took control of Silicon Valley Bank. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. announced that Silicon Valley Bank was closed today by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation.

As Falls Silicon Valley Bank, So Falls Banking Stocks

The value of an investment manager's active stock-picking abilities tends to be made clear during choppy or down markets. With markets down last year, 2022 was a year in which active managers — particularly active domestic equities managers — had the chance to prove their mettle.

Active Domestic Equity Managers Did Well in 2022

Most advisors worry that having only passive ETFs in their portfolios will leave them unable to pivot if market conditions change. Considering that many believe that equity markets will end 2023 either flat or down from where they are currently, this makes sense.

Advisors Cannot Live on Passive Alone

An Investment Executive article featured a report by ISS Market Intelligence, which noted that active management will still account for the majority of the investment industry's market revenues despite diminishing market share. Passive management has overtaken active management in terms of market share, offering investors cost-efficient, set-it-and-forget-it methodologies.

Market Report Says Active Management Is Still the “Biggest Money Maker”

There's a lot of potential for active managers to add value in today's market environment. However, that does not mean that all active managers can or will provide value.

Active Stock Selection Skill Worth More When Dispersion Is High

After the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points last week, investors assumed that the U.S. central bank was nearing the end of its rate hikes.

Expect More Rate Hikes From the Fed

Big tech had a rough year in 2022. And with Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Facebook having announced massive layoffs, it doesn't appear as though 2023 will be the sector's comeback year.

Consider Active as Big Tech Is No Longer a Sure Thing

Stocks have rallied this year as fears of a severe recession ease and investors expect the Federal Reserve to ease up on its tightening. That doesn't mean markets are out of the woods yet.

Stocks Rally After Fed Announces 25-Basis-Point Rate Hike

Stocks traded down on Monday as investors gear up for multiple earnings and the Federal Reserve's decision on what to do with interest rates this week. As of Monday afternoon, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 216 points, or roughly 0.6%, while the S&P 500 declined about 1.

Markets Dip in Anticipation of Earnings, Fed Decision

As if large-cap tech stocks weren't already facing troubles, the Department of Justice has filed a new antitrust lawsuit against Google.

Google Antitrust Case Makes Analysts Nervous

Despite volatility and fears of a recession, the U.S. economy ended on an up note. Data released by the Commerce Department on Thursday showed that U.S. gross domestic product grew by a 2.9% annualized rate over the quarter that ended December 31.

Despite GDP Growth, Recession Fears Linger

A combination of extraordinary policy action and substantial passive investment flows had a distorting impact on the U.S. equity market from 2011 to 2021. Because of low volatility and an increasingly concentrated market, active U.S. equity managers struggled to keep up with their passive counterparts during this period.

The Stage Is Set for Active Management to Shine

Wall Street is not optimistic about markets in the year ahead. While inflation is down, it's still well above the Federal Reserve's target of roughly 2%, so the U.S. central bank is expected to continue raising interest rates.
