PMFA’s Special Commentary: The Future Investment Environment
While there will be continued political posturing and debate regarding the amount required to stabilize the system following President Bush’s address to the nation last night, the proposed fiscal policy response is a crucial step to bringing stability back to the credit markets. The effective functioning of these markets is critical to the success of any economy, and it is apparent that most, if not all, of the global central banks understand the importance of this issue. Given that developments continue to move rapidly and are being interpreted and assimilated into the market, we will continue to monitor the fiscal policy response and other developments in this current situation, not only here but across the globe.
Earlier this week, we shared our thoughts on the recent past and the present conditions within the investment markets. Today, we discuss our thoughts about the future investment environment. Please see the attachment at right that begins with details on the concept of risk tolerance and expands with our comments on how the current situation may ultimately play out.
