Dear Valued Clients, 

 As we bid farewell to 2023, it’s essential to review the year’s key financial trends and prepare for what lies ahead in 2024. The past year was marked by resilience in the face of high-interest rates and geopolitical uncertainties. 

The US economy remained particularly robust and defied recessionary fears stemming from the aggressive rate hiking action of the Federal Reserve in 2022 and 2023. Inflation continued to trend downward throughout the year, yet remains above the Federal Reserve’s long-term 2% goal.  

Meanwhile, the labor market remained strong, allowing the U.S. economy to maintain a steady growth trajectory. Global central banks have likely hit the end of their aggressive rate-hiking cycles, setting a foundation for possible interest rate cuts in 2024 and 2025.  

As we look ahead to 2024, the economic landscape appears poised for further recovery and growth. We are cautiously optimistic with a focus on diversification and risk management. Equities are expected to benefit from moderate economic growth and stable inflation, including a recovery driven by robust corporate profits and technological advancements. We believe an environment such as this makes selective stock investments and active management attractive opportunities. 

We continue to believe that fixed income remains attractive, as elevated yields for bonds may offer relatively stable returns and ultimately benefit from looming interest rate cuts.  

Our strategy at CAISSA Wealth Strategies remains focused on guiding you through these complex times. We are committed to providing personalized investment advice that aligns with your long-term financial goals and adapts to the evolving market conditions. 

We look forward to another year of partnership and are excited to help you navigate the opportunities that 2024 presents. 

Thank you for your continued trust in us. 

Best Regards,
