Wading Through Financial Stability Risks: An Action Plan

Submitted by Flynn Zito Capital Management on March 21st, 2023

The Federal Reserve (Fed) has a history of raising short-term interest rates until something “breaks.” Considering the Fed has raised rates from a near-zero level to 4.75% (upper bound) over the course of only one year, it was almost a near certainty this time would be no different. Recent bank failures suggest things are indeed starting to break.

Latest Equity Asset Allocation Views

Submitted by Flynn Zito Capital Management on March 14th, 2023

Last week did not play out how we anticipated. Coming into the week, it was all about Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s congressional testimony and the February jobs report.

Silicon Valley Bank Is the 2nd Largest Bank Failure

Submitted by Flynn Zito Capital Management on March 13th, 2023

It will take some time, but the FDIC was designed for moments like this

The FDIC-seizure of Silicon Valley Bank is the second-largest US bank failure in history as it held $209 billion in assets at the time of its collapse. Even after adjusting for inflation, by assets it trails only Washington Mutual, which held $434 billion in assets when it failed in 2008.

No Landing = No Sense

Submitted by Flynn Zito Capital Management on March 7th, 2023

Suggesting an economy makes “no landing” makes no sense. Analogies eventually break down, especially this one. Economic activity does not stop like an airplane eventually does, but rather the economy will settle into a steady state where growth is consistent with factors such as population and productivity.

Will January Hit The Trifecta?

Submitted by Flynn Zito Capital Management on January 31st, 2023

The script has been flipped in 2023. Last year’s underperformers have turned into outperformers this year, driving the S&P 500 Index up over 5% this month. The pace and composition of the rally have left many investors skeptical over its sustainability, especially amid a lackluster earnings season thus far.

2023 Market Outlook

Submitted by Flynn Zito Capital Management on January 3rd, 2023

2022 was a dizzying year as markets and the global economy continued to find itself out of balance due to the still present aftereffects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the policy response to it.

Historic Year For Central Bank Activity

Submitted by Flynn Zito Capital Management on December 19th, 2022

The Federal Reserve (Fed) wrapped up its last Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting of the year last week, where it hiked short-term interest rates for the seventh time in as many meetings, taking the fed funds rate to 4.5% (upper bound).

December Is Down But Not Out

Submitted by Flynn Zito Capital Management on December 12th, 2022

Despite the S&P 500 Index starting December with five consecutive days of losses, we think December is down but not out. December often starts slow but historically has been a strong month. There are also some potentially supportive seasonal patterns ahead, such as the Santa Claus Rally, the outlook for January following down years, and the third year of the presidential cycle.

Playbook for a Fed Pivot

Submitted by Flynn Zito Capital Management on November 23rd, 2022

Recent inflation data has tempered expectations for future Federal Reserve tightening, including a potential peak in the terminal rate near 5.0% in May or June of 2023. While the market has welcomed this news, history suggests the path to a Fed pivot could be volatile for stocks due to elevated inflation and interest rate risk.
