In the next week or two, we’ll be posting our quarterly letter with more insight on where we believe we’re headed in investment markets and how Prospero Wealth intends to go after our opportunities in 2023. Before we get there, however, it’s important to look at the underlying Q4 data and how that closed out the year for us.

It sure was nice to see a bit of recovery in Q4. The US Stock Market rose 7.18% in Q4 to close out 2022 down -19.21%. International Developed Markets rose 16.18% in the quarter! Even the bond markets showed signs of life.

There’s no getting around the pain and volatility of 2022 but there’s a lot to be excited about in 2023. I just got out of a presentation from Morningstar titled “2023 US Market Outlook: Near Term Turbulence, but Path to Clearer Skies Ahead.” I think that sums it up. Expect to see us talking about our opportunities to take full advantage of our opportunities for recovery – whenever it shows up.
