4Q18 concludes the 10th consecutive year in which we have been publishing our quarterly investment themes. These are three top-down catalysts our models suggest are increasingly likely to drive investment returns that our proprietary sentiment indicators suggest investors are not yet broadly positioned for. All year, we’ve prospectively and accurately identified the various investable pivots in growth, inflation and policy – both domestically and internationally – and look to summon those same repeatable processes in order to help our clients generate incremental alpha in the fourth quarter.
