Alex Ruus' Top Picks
Alex Ruus, portfolio manager, Arrow Capital Management
FOCUS: North American stocks
MARKET OUTLOOK:
Look for 2023 to bring us volatile financial markets as a mix of higher interest rates with a varied economic outlook will give mixed signals to many investors without strong convictions. While we expect stock markets to be generally sideways in 2023, our approach to buying superior companies should once again yield strong returns this year, just as it did in 2022.
