GPS is well-positioned to navigate the journey ahead with an organized planning strategy focused on four critical areas:
We believe the most critical decision in investing is asset allocation—specifically, how much to invest in stocks versus other assets. Historically, stocks perform well when the economy grows. As such, our investment strategy hinges on our macroeconomic forecast. To guide our approach, we evaluate economic direction, key sectors and the outlook for corporate profitability. Since economic downturns typically follow financial panics, which are rare, we generally maintain a market-weight or overweight in stocks relative to fixed income, assuming all other factors remain equal.
