Seems like each day brings a new call that a recession is right around the corner. Or, if not right around the corner, somewhere in the nearer-term future. If not so soon, then likely at some point over the next few years. Or perhaps later. Of course, one of those statements must be true. As always, the timing of that recession is up to the universe to decide. And where timing is considered, we generally caution against shifting target portfolio exposures in light of any “pending” recession. We find the most defensible approach is one that sticks to target allocation that accommodates comfort with the potential market-related ramifications of macroeconomic downturns, while remaining focused on longer-term plans.
