Session Summary: This session examines the link between macroeconomic variables (e.g., GDP, interest rates, inflation) and future stock returns, focusing on US data. A key theme of the session is the contrast between backward-looking economic indicators, which do not reliably forecast future stock returns, and forward-looking market prices. The goal of the session is to equip practitioners with practical knowledge that can help inform portfolio positioning in various economic environments. This session is from the September 2023 Trustee School. Content may be dated.
