Major Asset Classes | November 2015 | Performance Review

This is a nice fact based breakdown of how the major asset classes preformed in November. While we cover the moves on a day to day basis it is always important to take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

Red ink swept across the major asset classes in November, with one exception: US equities. The Russell 3000 Index edged up 0.6% last month. Otherwise, losses prevailed, delivering a negative counterpoint to October’s generally bullish profile.

As for November, commodities were the big loser… again. The broadly defined Bloomberg Commodity Index fell 7.3% last month—the fifth consecutive monthly loss and the biggest dip since July.

Red ink now dominates the performance profile for most asset classes over longer-term horizons. The bearish aura continued to weigh on the Global Market Index (GMI), an unmanaged benchmark that holds all the major asset classes in market-value weights. GMI slipped 0.7% in November. Year to date GMI is fractionally lower, dipping 0.3% so far in 2015.

For the trailing three-year period, however, GMI still posts a respectable 6.2% annualized total return, which is nearly twice the rate for the benchmark’s long-term forecast, based on last month’s risk premia outlook.

    TCM made a big recovery today but the institutional investors will start selling in about 9 days and we may see 30 -40 million shares hit the market during tax loss selling. DT

    This is the first step.
    If worthwhile gold confiscation may well follow.
    You will not be allowed to be OUTside the system. Watch out US.
