Overview

Even as equities recovered by month-end, and chances for a December Fed rate cut rose, November’s market moves exposed fragilities and a defensive market stance.

Key highlights:

  • Global Equities – European and UK equities lead
  • Global Fixed Income – Investment grade (IG) mostly outperforms
  • Equity Industries – Health Care leads; Tech is a major drag
  • Alternative Indices – REITs and Infrastructure outperformed
  • Equity Factors – Value reemerges; Low Vol outperforms broadly
  • Foreign exchange – USD performance is mixed
