1 Q Retail Investor Sentiment Report January 2019
2 Q Executive Summary Retail investors are shifting from bullish to bearish, but remain confident in reaching their financial goals. Key themes: Client outlook for the U.S. stock market is shifting with 52% feeling bearish, compared to 41% a year ago. Confidence among clients overall remains steady but has declined significantly among retired clients. The leading concern about investing remains the U.S. political landscape, but clients are divided about how the new makeup of Congress will impact their investment strategy. Saving for retirement is the most common concern among most clients; for retired clients, it s understanding how the new tax laws apply to them. Nearly 10 years since the March 09 lows, most clients feel fully recovered financially and are investing more than they did 10 years ago, but with less risk. Joe Vietri Branch Network Leader Increasing market volatility and drama in our political landscape have been catalysts for a downshift in client sentiment from bullish to bearish. But there s hope on the horizon as many investors tell us they plan to review their financial plan this quarter. That s always an important step but particularly so in an environment like this. 1
