| COVID-19 AND THE MARKET |

The recent market correction was triggered by a fear of underlying economic issues that have the potential to emerge from the current "health crises" and the oil price shock we face as a global economy. There will be wonderful opportunities presented to us as market participants when the data becomes more clear, but many ask when will that be?

At Pillar6 Advisors, we focus on both the fundamental analysis (the why) and the technical analysis (the when), to help drive our investment decision making into a systematic process. It eliminates the emotional guesswork out of investing in volatile markets such as this one.

Check out my recent video where I cover a popular question: How much farther can this market go?

Market Outlook March 2020

Try not to let the view grabbing headline deter you. This video touches on a very important fundamental issue we currently experience in capital market investing today.
As a portfolio manager, I believe that index style passive investing does have its place as a tool. But, active management is also extremely important to the health of the capital market mechanism, not only for investment returns.

This is something we at Pillar6 Advisors have discussed in length for years and is also why we utilize a passive approach combined with an active overlay; However, most of our clients engage with us because of our effective active management style and it is an important fundamental driver of how we build and manage our client's wealth.

If passive style index investing was the only vehicle that existed we wouldn't have a free market, and you as an investor wouldn't have any vote as to how a company should be valued. It quite literally is the antithesis of capitalism.
