The BOKF Asset Allocation Committee met recently and made a few changes to the tactical asset allocation guidance. The Committee was of the view that the positive market environment should persist into the new year due to stronger growth. Fixed income returns will likely remain muted as the Federal Reserve continues to raise rates and normalize their balance sheet. The decision was made to increase equities and decrease fixed income. In addition, they decided to overweight value relative to growth in the large cap space due to the anticipation that value generally benefits from higher growth, valuations are more attractive in the value space, as well as the more favorable outlook for the financials and energy sectors.
