Last Week…
… Asset classes were split down the middle.
U.S. Equities put on an interesting performance.
The Dow and S&P remained up, gaining 0.68% and 0.99%.
- Large Companies shown bright with Large Growth up nearly 2% and Large Value up barely 0.03%.
- Mid Growth was up over 0.7%, but Mid Value slipped 0.22%.
- Small Growth was up 0.13% while Small Value was down nearly 1%.
See that pattern? Overall Growth outperformed Value across Large, Mid and Small. AND Large companies did better than Mid or Small. A bit of bullish greedy behavior perhaps?
- REITS were split as well with US up just a smidge 0.11%, but Foreign down 1.38%
- Commodities were down as well.
- Foreign Equities were down with the exception of Growth…but again, you’ll note that’s a pattern similar to the U.S. where Growth has out-performed Value.
- Technology saw the most growth once again: 2.80%
- Emerging Markets and Emerging Market Bonds enjoyed some small gains, both below 1%
- And most Bonds saw minuscule decreases, with the largest drop at -0.40%
Have a great weekend!
