Speaker Notes

A low-for-long call on interest rates doesn’t mean that interest rates won’t ever move from these levels. How have asset classes responded during various interest rate environments?

Using the average 10-Year U.S. Treasury rate over the past 20 years (4%), we identify two different rate regimes (below 4% and rising, below 4% and falling). The results show that rising interest rate environments have proven to be favorable to equity and equity-like assets.
