A disciplined focus on the macroeconomic drivers of performance

Rarely does the same sector remain in favor year after year.

Through a disciplined analysis of 200+ global and domestic indicators, we form a macroeconomic outlook on which sectors, regions, and securities are most likely to outperform. Ultimately, we make allocation decisions based on the data, regardless of short-term market sentiment. This is where wisdom grounded in data makes a difference.

Data drives high conviction

Successfully navigating market trends, risks and cycles takes wisdom and discipline. Our process employs exhaustive research and analysis to screen out noise, avoid biases, and focus on the most important information. Our approach is differentiated by methodical analysis to discern what data matters most and when – knowledge which supports high-conviction decisions.

WestEnd Advisors' Quarterly Economic and Market Commentaries

Commentary | Q4 2023

Either/Or: A Pivotal ’24

Late-cycle conditions persist, and we see paths for either slowing growth or a “soft landing” in 2024. We expect sectors with stable earnings growth to drive positive-but-volatile equity markets, while the interest rate backdrop should benefit fixed income.
