Inaction comes at a cost…

Annual shortfall of workers at full employment:

Average payroll growth minus natural demographic and immigration contribution

= 1.248 million 5-year re-arrest rate (~76.6%) x Number of people released from jails and prison annually (~1.5 million) = 1.149 million Number of people reportedly misusing prescription opioids = 12.5 million Cost of each year of potential growth lost: GDP of $19 trillion x ~2% real growth = $380 billion

Investment Implications

  • International diversification
  • Broader approach to risk assets
  • A better year for Main Street than Wall Street
  • Short term interest rates continue to climb; U.S. curve continue to flatten

even though fundamentals argue for higher rates

  • Wage inflation will be higher but productivity will offset, preventing

runaway inflation

  • Increased selectivity in municipal portfolios
  • Corporate credits supported by pension investor overreach
  • Let inning 8 begin! But be wary of the end of the game.
