Good day, class, and welcome to our back-to-school session. We hope you had a great summer! Join the Capital Markets Strategy team as they lead us in a discussion about what has happened in 2021, so far, and what we might expect in the months ahead. They cover a lot of subjects this year, including:

• fixed-income investments’ lackluster performance

• surprising performance of equity markets

• continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic

• valuations and earnings growth

• inflation’s effects on the 10-year Treasury yield.

Notebooks open? Ears ready? Let’s listen.
