Global stock markets again rose during the second quarter of 2017. Additionally, both US and international bond markets were up, making the second quarter of 2017 positive across the board. Last quarter, we noted that international stock markets outperformed US stock markets, reversing a trend we had seen over the past few years. The reversal continued this quarter with international stocks returning about double what the US stock market returned.
Of ClearLogic’s 10 Investment Principles for long-term conservative growth, most at play this quarter were “look beyond the headings”, “practice smart diversification”, and “let markets work for you”.
