The Current Economic Expansion.
The S&P 500 Index has soared approximately 265% since bottoming on March 9th 2009 making it second largest bull market in history.
In terms of length,the current bull market is 101 months, the second longest in history
The current U.S. economic expansion is 99 months(average expansion is 58.5 months)
Market outlook as per Manulife Investment Capital Markets & Strategy Group as of September 30 2017
" We believe that the likelihood of recession in upcoming year is low since the typical signs of recession are not present which include an inverted yield curve,positive inflation trends and weakening global manufacturing to name a few.
However,economic expansion have a shelf life and it is likely that we are nearing end of current one.History has shown that at this point in economic cycle the greater emphasis should be placed on DOWNSIDE PROTECTION in portfolio.
My advise to you, review your risk profile and review your portfolio of investment and align it as per your risk profile.Invest portion of investment in asset allocation portfolio.
