Our 2013 “Seinfeld” Markets

A "Seinfeld" Market Year

SAGEbroadview:
A “Seinfeld” Market Year

We can’t help but love working with a fund manager that is not only intensely loyal to the science of capital markets, but can laugh about it too. These qualities are combined in Dimensional Fund Advisors’ 2013 Review, a market/economic summary that the firm releases each January. While “a lot happened” in 2013, Dimensional reports it was ultimately “a year about nothing.” In a way, it was like the reverse of a classic Seinfeld episode, in which the more investors may have worried, the more the markets seemed to ignore and soar.

We invite you to enjoy Dimensional’s full report here – including its insightful charts. They illustrate how, despite the usual gamut of domestic and global uncertainties, rewarding annualized returns prevailed for investors who had adopted a patient, evidence-based approach to portfolio construction.

SAGE Serendipity: If you’ve not kept up with Jerry Seinfeld’s latest creative efforts, you’re in for a treat. The new season for his online “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” has begun, including an episode with one of my favorite comedians, Louis C.K.
