What the Smartest Investors Are Worried About in 2023
The S&P 500 finished 2022 down 19% on the year, which was the broad index's first negative year since 2008, a time when the Great Recession was rattling markets and the economy. Last year's return was a major reversal of fortunes, given that the S&P 500 averaged an annual return of 14.3% in the 10 years that ended in 2021.
As they set their sights on the rest of 2023, investors have a lot to think about. The Federal Reserve is still planning to raise interest rates, albeit at a slower pace. That's because inflation is still running hot. And corporations continue to lay workers off, preparing for difficult times ahead. All of these factors can impact how you position your portfolio.
So, what's in store for 2023? Here's what the smartest investors are worried about this year.
