24、Its important to mention the circumstances that caused the rate reset in order to explain our view on the course we think inflation and rates will take.In 2021 and 2022,as inflation soared globally,nearly all major central banks aggressively hiked interest rates(except the Bank of Japan and the Peop
25、les Bank of China).While shorter-term interest rates quickly moved higher,longer-term yields only caught up in the late summer and early fall.One possible reason for this move is that investors are starting to believe inflation will be higher than it was in the late 2010s and higher policy rates wil
26、l be needed to help keep it in check.We agree with this assessment.But to be clear:We believe the near-term path for inflation is lower.Inflation has already retreated from its recentand unexpectedhighs.In the United States,inflation has collapsed from a peak of over 9%to under 3.5%today.We are espe
27、cially encouraged by the recent cooling in inflation rates for services sectors such as hotels and recreation,where price increases tend to be stickier.The outlook for shelter inflation,which currently accounts for around three-quarters of all of the year-on-year change in the Consumer Price Index(C
28、PI),gives us the most confidence that price inflation will continue to fall in the United States.The most current data on where shelter inflation is heading,including home prices and new rents,signal that shelter inflation will continue to cool to a manageable level.11 INFLATION Inflation is similar
29、ly decelerating outside the United States,but more slowly.In developed world economies,it has declined to 4%from a peak of 8%.Globally,realized inflation has been coming in below economists forecasts since April 2023,and we think price inflation in both the United States and Europe will approach cen
30、tral banks 2%mandate by the end of 2024.On the wage front,labor demand and supply are in a better balance.The gap between job openings(demand for labor)and unemployed workers(supply of labor)in the United States has shrunk from its peak of over 6 million to close to 2.5 million today.An increase in
31、immigration has also boosted the number of available workers.Year-to-date,foreign-born workers accounted for more than 40%of the 3 millionplus new jobs in the United States.As a result,U.S.wage growth,proxied by the Employment Cost Index excluding incentive pay,has slowed from over 6%to around 4%.Ce
32、ntral bankers will continue to look for further moderation,but the progress is clearand encouraging.Still,we think 2%inflation will likely represent more of a floor than a ceiling for price moves.Market-based indicators of future inflation(such as breakeven inflation rates and inflation swaps)sugges
33、t that investors also expect both U.S.and Euro Area inflation to run between 2.0%and 2.5%over the next 510 years.This would compare with the 1.5%to 2.0%range that prevailed from 2015 through 2020.We expect developed world inflation will similarly settle between 2%and 2.5%,and with more variability t

36、Industrial policy and the energy transition could lead to higher commodity prices.In fact,at least initially,the shift to clean energy sources could lead to bouts of inflation.Consumer and investor inflation expectations could also nudge inflation higherbecoming in effect a self-fulfilling prophecy.
37、The process of“nearshoring”and global supply chain adjustments will also limit how much goods prices could fall.Fundamentally,it seems to us that many parts of the economy(labor markets,housing,commodities)have insufficient supply to meet demand.This should place more upward pressure on prices than

39、ombergFinanceL.P.,HaverAnalytics.DataasofOctober2023.13 INFLATION How should investors grapple with the prospect of more meaningful inflation in 2024 and beyond?They might look first to equities.Since the end of 2019,U.S.consumer prices have risen almost 19%.S&P 500 earnings are up over 35%.Cruciall
40、y,profit margins for the core of the S&P 500 have stabilized at 12%,in line with pre-pandemic peaks and only one percentage point below the 2021 highs.We believe large public companies will be able to continue to maintain both pricing power and their margins.This is not just a U.S.phenomenon.Look no
41、 further than the European luxury goods sector,which commands pricing power while delivering robust growth.In fact,if inflation ranges between 2%and 3%,as we think it will,it should be good for stocks.The average S&P 500 year-over-year return is nearly 14%when inflation runs in that range.STOCKSSWEE

43、lts.Itisnotpossibletoinvestdirectlyinanindex.14 In addition,equities may not provide the only defense against inflation.We think the current environment also argues for potential exposure to real assets such as global real estate,infrastructure,transportation,commodities and timber.Take real estate,
44、as an instructive example.Income growth for real estate tends to outpace inflation,and most leases in commercial properties contain inflation step-ups.Whats more,as commodities(steel,say,or wood)and labor become more costly,existing buildings tend to appreciate because it becomes more expensive to r
45、eplace them.Problems in the office sector and pockets of retail and hospitality are well known,but we believe sectors such as industrial and data centers offer robust growth prospects.In the last cycle,investors used bonds to insulate portfolios from slower growth.In the cycle now emerging,we think

48、 in cash.Certainly,5%yields on cash and low volatility have been a magnet for our clients assets.This phenomenon is global,but it is particularly powerful in the United States,where clients have over twice the allocation to short-term Treasuries and money markets as their international peers.Could t
49、his shift into cash cause problems?In the context of your own financial planning,it may help to acknowledge that you may feel differently about cash than you do about stocks,bonds or other assets.But you should consider cash as you do any other assetasking how it fits into your goal-aligned wealth p

51、sofNovember17,2023.Pastperformanceisnoguaranteeoffutureresults.Itisnotpossibletoinvestdirectlyinanindex.17 CASH Cash works best relative to stocks and bonds in periods such as the one we just saw:when interest rates are rising quickly,and investors question the durability of corporate earnings growt
52、h.Cash works less well when interest rates are falling(you are reinvesting at lower and lower yields),or when earnings growth expectations are improving and risk sentiment is recovering.We think 2024 will likely deliver a backdrop of falling rates and improving earnings,in which cash will work less
53、well.Our expectation of lower cash rates reflects our view that inflation has likely peaked,that central banks see their current policy positioning as restrictive,and that the labor market is cooling relatively quickly.Indeed,continuing jobless claims in the United States are 30%higher year-over-yea
54、r.Historically,we have only seen that rate of increase when the economy was already in recession.Thus central banks should be willing to lower interest rates if they feel that growth is threatened.Indeed,markets think the Federal Reserve,European Central Bank and Bank of England could lower interest
55、 rates as soon as March 2024.We think 2024 will likely deliver a backdrop of falling rates and improving earnings,in which cash will work less well.18 From a planning perspective,holding more cash today than you did in 2021 or 2017 is probably fine.Cash yields after inflation are at some of their hi
56、ghest levels of the last 20 years.But holding relatively more cash probably isnt the best use of your overall portfolio.Heres why.You can commit less capital to a goal today if you are willing to invest it in a way that increases the expected return.Its a simple but profound principle of investing.L
57、ook at it this way.Based on J.P.Morgan Asset Managements Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions(LTCMAs),we think a person could keep all their assets in cash and still spend 3%of their wealth per year for 30 years and not run out of money.Thats not a terrible scenario.But it leaves no room for error i
58、f an unexpected setback occurs,or if other priorities(such as legacy planning,philanthropic giving or health spending)become more important.In this particular all-cash scenario,your wealth can support your spendingbut nothing more.Now lets think about the alternate approach.Allocating assets outside
59、 of cash reduces the amount of capital that is required today to fund a goal with a high degree of confidence.It could also allow your wealth to fund more goals than you could with an all-cash approach.As a first step,if you design a portfolio of only core,investment grade bonds,you could need just
60、85%of the all-cash portfolio to maintain the same rate of spending.1 The other 15%is unencumbered,and could be earmarked for anything:buying the next home,giving to charity,funding your grandchildrens education.Indeed,adding more assets to the mix(including equities,high yield bonds and alternatives
61、)could further reduce the initial capital required,or could increase the rate of spending that the portfolio can support.Holding more cash in the near term may not be a poor decision,but it likely isnt the best one either.Cash may offer a viable path to achieve some of your goalsbut probably not man

63、 have not materially increased their allocation to fixed income.Higher rates mean that bonds are as competitive with stocks as they have been since before the GFC.Yet four out of every five of our clients have not materially increased their allocations to fixed income over the last two years.The fir
64、st question to ask is,do bonds deserve a larger share of your portfolio?We rely on bonds to help provide stability in a multi-asset portfolio.Coupon payments generate income,and bond prices tend to rise when economic growth slows.Given the recent increase in yields,we think bonds are now well positi
65、oned to deliver on both fronts.Whats more,they could also hold up much better against equities than they have over the past decade.Consider that for the 10 years ended in Q3 2023,bonds have posted annual returns of just 1%versus nearly 15%for equities.21 BONDS STOCKSTYPICALLYOUTPERFORMBONDS,BUTTHEMA

67、ields have reached highs not seen since 2007.The yield on a 5-year Treasury bond is 300 basis points(bps)above the dividend yield on the S&P 500.Tax-equivalent yields on benchmark AAA-rated 15-year municipal bonds are over 6%.Junk bond yields are over 8%,and private credit yields are in the low teen
68、s.The only negative yielding debt left in the world is in Japan.Those higher yieldsand thus lower bond pricesdepressed core bond returns in 2022 and 2023.In fact,the current drawdown for the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index from its prior high is-14%.Thats better than the recent trough of-17%,but still
69、 lower than at any other point in the indexs history.Despite the drawdown,our clients allocations to fixed income are flat relative to the end of 2021.In 2024,we think they should consider continuing to add to the asset class.We make this case with conviction because we believe the new rate regime r
70、epresents a generational reset in bond market pricing.The rate reset means that core bonds may now be poised to deliver strong forward-looking returns.Over a 10-to-15-year investment horizon,J.P.Morgan Asset Managements LTCMAs project that core bonds,as proxied by the Global Aggregate and U.S.Aggreg
71、ate Bond Indices,will deliver 5%plus annual returns.We think strong performance will begin in 2024with modest price appreciation as rates fall,combining with an attractive starting yield.In our view,those returns will reflect a favorable economic backdrop for bonds in the coming year:Economic growth
72、 should slow,inflation 22 will continue to cool,and central banks could start to reverse their rate-hiking cycles.Whats more,higher starting yields mean that a decline in interest rates would provide a gain that is proportionately larger than the loss created by a similarly sized rate increase.To il
73、lustrate,an investment in a U.S.10-year Treasury bond would lose approximately 2%if yields rose one percentage point over the next year.If rates fall 1%over the next year,an investment in a 10-year Treasury bond would gain over 12%.Globally,we are focused on tax efficiency in fixed income allocation
74、s.In the United States,the municipal bond market is the clear expression.Municipals have an extremely low historical default rate(0.1%cumulatively over 10-year periods since 1970 versus 2.2%for corporate bonds).In addition,state and local debt loads have not expanded relative to GDP since 2000,in st
75、ark contrast to the federal debt.Each jurisdiction globally has its own nuances,and we recommend exploring this with your local advisor.Across global markets,the rate reset offers the potential to lock in strong returns in many parts of the yield curve.We believe bonds within the 310 year maturity r
76、ange offer attractive yield,and they are less exposed to longer-term risks regarding government deficits.It has been a brutal stretch for bond investors,no doubt about it.But we think the end of central bank tightening cycles and cooling inflation will offer more than a reprievetheyll bring stabilit
77、y back to the asset class.In short:The rate reset has run its course,and we think it is time to lock in yields.In light of this,the second question to ask is,should you own more fixed income relative to equity?We dont think investors should see this moment as a choice between stocks or bonds.We thin
78、k they should personalize the possibilities by designing a portfolio of stocks and bonds suited to their particular goals and risk tolerances.The rate reset also means that investors should assess existing holdings to make sure their current allocations still make sense.Imagine for a moment that you
79、re evaluating your current assets.Top of mind is likely the concern youve had with market volatility over the last two years.Even though a balanced portfolio has underperformed our expectations,you may now have an opportunity to reduce equity risk,add more fixed income exposure,and still reach your
80、financial goals.If youve got new funds to invest,your perspective may be slightly different.One sign of fixed incomes new appeal:J.P.Morgan Asset Managements long-term return assumptions for bonds today are higher than our equity market return assumptions were at the end of 2021.The rate reset gives
81、 investors the opportunity to add fixed income to portfolios,reduce the range of possible outcomes,and sacrifice relatively little potential return to do so.But remember that fixed income comes with its own risks as well.A concentrated allocation to bonds could depress portfolio returns if inflation
82、 is more persistent than expected.Ultimately,the thing to keep in mind is that the higher-rate regime gives you more options in crafting your goals-based financial plans.If you aim to limit the potential downside for your wealth,and reduce the range of possible outcomes,it could make sense to swap e
83、quity exposure for bond exposure.But if you aim to capture a significant degree of potential upside,youll likely want to hold on to your equities,both public and private.In the end,the right move for most may to keep their strategic asset allocations and look forward to the stronger forward-looking
84、returns that we expect.23 STOCKS 04 With AI momentum,equities seem to be on the mar ch to new highs.24 Equities offer the potential for meaningful gains in 2024.We rely on equities to help provide long-term capital appreciation in portfolios.Though more volatile than bonds,equities have outperformed
85、 bonds 85%of the time on a 10-year basis since 1950.Over the long term,we think equities can continue to outperform bonds and generate capital appreciation for investors.In 2024,equities offer the potential for meaningful gains.Even as economic growth slows amid higher rates,we think large-cap equit
86、y earnings growth should accelerate,and that could propel stock markets higher over the next year.Why do we anticipate improving corporate earnings?Its partly because we believe the U.S.large-cap corporate sector has gone through an earnings recession already(nine of the 11 major sectors in the S&P
87、500 reported negative earnings growth for three consecutive quarters in 20222023).They have emerged with leaner cost structures,which should help them face a still resilient(if slowing)demand environment in 2024.Indeed,since 1950,earnings per share has been accelerating about 25%of the time when GDP
88、 growth has been decelerating.25 STOCKS Higher rates may also make you skeptical of valuations.But we think they appear reasonable in the United States and inexpensive elsewhere.The S&P 500 trades at above-average valuations on a price-to-earnings basis,while U.S.mid-cap and small-cap stocks(and Eur
89、opean,emerging market and Chinese stocks)all trade at a substantial discount.Indian stocks,meanwhile,trade with fair valuations,but we are optimistic about their low leverage and high growth rates.While we prefer the U.S.stock market in 2024,low valuations elsewhere suggest that prices already antic
90、ipate bad news for corporate profits,limiting the downside for stock performance.By the same token,betterthan-expected news could spur greater-than-expected gains.Some investors argue that U.S.stock valuations need to correct further to account for higher interest rates.But todays 18x20 x forward P/
91、E multiples appear reasonable to us,given that the index currently has wider margins(free cash flow margins are 30%higher than they were 10 years ago)and healthy interest coverage(11x EBITDA to interest expense).We also see prospects for better corporate revenue growth over the medium term,given the
92、 tailwinds from fiscal spending and productivity gains from artificial intelligence.In the end,an outlook for slightly higher inflation and better growth means that an equity risk premium(proxied in this case by the difference between 10-year Treasury yields and the earnings yield of the S&P 500)bet

95、 could generate long-term outperformance.The promise of artificial intelligence(AI)is hardly a secret.But we do think it could have profound implications for corporate productivity and profitability.AI has already seemingly started a new technology research and development cycle.In fact,the R&D budg
96、ets for the top-five tech companies alone have eclipsed$200 billion per year and are rapidly approaching the U.S.governments own R&D spending($250 billion).The use cases are also broadening.For example,a recent study suggested that an AI model can outperform expert radiologists at spotting malignant
97、 pancreatic cancers,and AI has helped reduce airline contrails that contribute to global warming.At JPMorgan Chase,we expect that incorporating AI and machine learning into our processes could deliver more than$1 billion in impact this year.As investors,we are focused on accessing AIs potential thro
98、ugh both the software and hardware leaders that are set to benefit.On the private side,consider looking to growth equity managers to identify new AI-connected businesses that could prove to be effective disruptors.GLP-1 weight-loss drugs could continue to drive divergences within and outside the hea
99、lthcare sector.We believe that around 2 million people in the United States are currently taking GLP-1 drugs for weight management.Nearly 100 million obese Americans could potentially benefit from the drug,but cost is a real hurdle.For example,the list price for Mounjaro is over$1,000 per month,whic
100、h is higher than the$650 per month cost of shelter per capita for the top 20%of earners.Nonetheless,sales for these types of drugs could reach$100 billion by 2030(up from$6 billion today),using relatively conservative assumptions regarding total market penetration.27 From an investors perspective,we
101、 see potential upside in the stocks of drug makers with a growing share of the weight-loss market.STOCKS At the same time,we think some consumer staples and medical device company stocks have been unduly punished by investors exclusively focused on the impact of GLP-1s.We see selective opportunities
102、 here.Finally,companies across sectors should benefit from a renewed focus on infrastructure,construction and defense spending.Real private spending on manufacturing structures has doubled since 2021,largely driven by semiconductor factories.Earnings estimates have doubled for companies whose busine
103、sses are tied to electrification.28 How can you best evaluate these different stock scenarios?Bear in mind that youre investing in a higher rate environment,which could be useful if you want to structure your equity holdings to limit downside exposure,extract yield or increase potential upside based
104、 on our expectations for next year.In private markets,we continue to see opportunity in secondary private equity funds,as the lack of distributions(the lowest since 2009)creates a catalyst for institutional investors to monetize their current holdings.Further,we are focusing on offsetting higher cos

106、ide long-term compound growth to investment portfolios.We see opportunity in secondary private equity funds.CREDIT 05 Pockets of credit stress loom,but they will likely be limited.30 We expect the coming year to see more stress in certain sectors of the credit complex.An inescapable fact of the busi
107、ness cycle is that higher interest rates make credit harder to come by.Of course,companies and households can still borrow money when credit is tight,but not as easily,and not in the ways they are used to.Not surprisingly,we expect the coming year to see more stress in certain sectors of the credit
108、complex.Vulnerable sectors include:commercial real estate loans,leveraged loans,and some areas of consumer credit(e.g.,autos and credit card)and high yield corporate credit.Small-cap equities may be similarly affected by higher rates,given the levels of debt on their balance sheets.31 CREDIT But we
109、think these stresses of higher rates will be manageableand more importantlynot enough to cause a recession in 2024.Indeed,some sectors of the economy have fared better than some might have expected in the face of rising rates.For example,U.S.residential home values have accommodated the recent and s
110、ubstantial jump in mortgage rates.Even though financing activity has collapsed(J.P.Morgan Private Bank and Wealth Management is on pace to underwrite just one-third of the mortgages that we did in 2021),home prices have been supported by the lowest supply on record.Corporate credit has also held up
111、well across a number of global markets,as U.S.and European corporates(both investment grade and high yield)took advantage of the low interest rates of prior years to“term out”(extend the maturities)of their debts.It is also notable that to take advantage of higher rates in their own fixed income por
112、tfolios,companies increased their holdings of shorter-duration cash equivalents,which are now yielding higher coupon payments.2 All of this means that non-financial corporate interest payments as a share of after-tax profits are at their lowest levels since 1980.ALL CLEANED UP:CORPORATE BALANCE SHEE

115、y comparable to most of the 2010s,a time when the economy was still deleveraging from the GFC.In the Euro Area,bank lending both to households and corporates is barely growing,and at the slowest pace since 2015.Indeed,higher interest rates look to be much more onerous for the European economy than t
116、he American economy.We are also starting to see cracks in pockets of the credit complex,specifically those that are either most exposed to floating interest rates or facing near-term maturities.Over 50%of commercial real estate loans are at a floating rate,and nearly$2 trillion of commercial real es
117、tate debt matures by 2025.Indeed,BBB-rated commercial mortgage-backed securities spreads are nearing 1,000 bps(which is higher than their COVID crisis peaks),while high yield spreads remain well anchored.In corporate credit,the healthcare sector is under particular stress,accounting for more than a
118、quarter of all corporate credit defaults YTD.The sector faces regulatory headwinds,labor inflation(which crimps margins)and liability payments(e.g.,from opioid lawsuits).3 The longer that interest rates stay elevated,the faster interest coverage metrics will deteriorate,especially for smaller compan

124、credit cycle.Moreover,U.S.private credit funds could continue to take market share from high yield and leveraged loan markets.Currently,direct loans by private lenders are yielding upwards of 12%,even though risk metrics,such as net debt to EBITDA for borrowers,have improved.In addition,covenants fo
125、r lenders are stronger than they are in leveraged loan markets.In our view,private credit is competitive with private equity for a place in investors portfolios.Finally,stress in commercial real estate markets could create opportunities for investors who have the capital to provide as regional banks
126、 look to offload loans,or existing borrowers may need to bring in partners to help refinance.Inevitably,perhaps,the rate reset has had a material impact on interest-rate-sensitive sectors of the economy.But we think the fallout will be contained.The combination of strong household and corporate cash
127、 flows and a more benign inflation environment should allow central banks to lower interest rates before these pockets of credit stress do serious damage to portfolios.CONCLUSION Conclusion An investment landscape reconfigured 36 As we head into 2024,investors find more options for their portfolios
128、than at any time since before the GFC.Bond yields are high.Equity valuations are fair.Private markets continue to offer premiums over their public counterparts,while also becoming more accessible to investors.Even cash doesnt look so bad.Almost certainly,new or resurgent risks will emerge.A presiden

165、nternational trade shifted significantly in the wake of pandemic-induced supply chain bottlenecks and amid growing geopolitical tensions.One trend has firmly taken hold:nearshoring,in which companies move production closer to their main markets.Companies larger goalsmaking supply chains more resilie

167、g-held ties to the United States.But many countries in Central America and South America could also increase their exports to the United States.The Inter-American Development Bank estimates that nearshoring could lead to an additional$800 billion of goods and services being sourced from Latin Americ
168、a and Caribbean countries in the next few years.As Latin American companies boost their trade with the United States,Chinese exporters have been in retreat.At its peak in 2016,Chinas share of U.S.imports stood at 21.6%.By August 2023,that share had nearly halved,to 13.5%.During that seven-year stret
169、ch,ASEAN(Association of Southeast Asian Nations)countries boosted their share of U.S.imports from 13%to 17%,and European Union countries from 15%to 19%.When we assess the potential impact of nearshoring on countries GDPs,Central American countries and Mexico stand to reap the greatest benefits.On an
170、 individual country basis,Mexicos share increased the most,rising from 13%to 16%as it became the main trading partner of the United States.Its success could open the door for other countries in the region to benefit from Mexicos geographical proximity to the continents largest economy.45 GLOBAL CENT

173、n the indexs exposure to domestic consumption,as nearshoring-related manufacturing creates jobs,drives disposable income and thus domestic economic activity.Notably,even after Mexican stocks have outperformed EM and global peers over the last two years,valuations are still trading below their 10-yea
174、r average.On a sector basis,we think industrial real estate in Mexico should continue to outperform.Investors can uncover industrial real estate opportunities in both public markets and private markets.When we examine the potential impact of nearshoring on specific product categories,industrial good
175、s(electrical,machinery,vehicles)and consumer goods(footwear,toys,optical)are among the U.S.imports that could be subject to Latin American and Central American gains in market share.REGIONAL INTEGRATION AND POLICY CHALLENGES But market share gains are far from guaranteed.On one end,public spending a
176、nd private investments will be needed to spur the necessary improvements in infrastructure and energy availability(especially“green”energy).For the entire region to reap the benefits of nearshoring,regional integration will be required as well,especially as it relates to 46 infrastructure,logistics
177、and business regulations.For example,textile exports from Central America might move through the Mexican border without incurring hefty logistical costs.Finally,public policy will be of paramount importance,as the strains of extreme income inequality,and left-leaning politics more broadly,may limit
178、the structural investment needed to fully capitalize on the export opportunity.Challenges abound,and the path wont be smooth.But nearshoring and supply chain diversification could spur meaningful GDP gains in Latin America.We see this as a multi-year investment opportunity,benefiting the region over
179、allbut with Mexico as the clear big winner.We think current market pricing does not yet reflect the full potential.Latin American equities,trading below historical multiples,offer investors access to the potential long-term benefits nearshoring may deliver through private and public investment,impro
