Expectation of fund manager

Duilio R. Ramallo CFA

Despite all the policy shifts coming out of Washington this year, with uncertainty surrounding tariffs and trade, the markets have held up relatively well. As it stands, tariffs will probably have an inflationary impact on interest rates going forward. So far, we haven't seen any expectations for earnings to come down, so if earnings growth is stable and interest rates don't get away from us, then the markets should perform reasonably well through the rest of the year. As always, we remain focused on selecting companies from the bottom-up that reflect Boston Partners' three-circle characteristics – attractive valuations, solid business fundamentals, and identifiable catalysts.
