To our Clients, Friends, Family and Partners…
What can we say…it’s been a tough year for most of us. It is hard to look ahead to the next year without looking back at 2020. A global pandemic, a massive economic collapse, a bear market, a surprisingly sharp reversal, a hotly contested election, schooling kids at home, losing loved ones—it was an unusual year of extraordinary challenges.
In our own household – we covered the bases: The struggles of running a business during the early dark days of COVID. Schooling a child at home and in the workplace. Working closely with businesses in our hometown to advocate on their behalf. Seeing my wife bravely shift from a clinical work to working with COVID patients during the Spring. Worst of all – we lost two family members to this virus without the ability to properly grieve and celebrate their lives. At home and at Arsenal we are certainly ready for our next chapter.
In 2021 better times are absolutely in front of us. A return to our new normal is going to look different, feel different. 2020 has changed us, the way we do business, the way we connect. It has also shown us our constants, what works for us, and what we hold on to.
Next year we restart the engine, but we’re not driving toward the same world we left behind in the good ol’ days of 2019. It’s not even our destination. There has been damage to areas of the economy that may never fully recover, but there are other areas that will adapt, reinvent themselves, and help reinvigorate growth.
Once a year, our partners at LPL Research spend days preparing a thoughtful outlook for the year ahead. Their piece, Outlook 2021: Powering Forward, covers the trajectory of stocks and bonds, the economy, and the post-election policy environment, but in the background will be new challenges, new opportunities, and new ways of doing things.
