In case you’re in a hurry, here are three things to know right now. First, CD and 1-yr treasury rates are back to where they were 15 years ago, and Appleton Group has access to a national marketplace of some of the highest rates available nationally. For investors wanting to balance the potential for higher returns with a whole lot more predictability, we’ve got you covered. Second, with a lot of crosscurrents in the economy and the markets right now, we’re taking a neutral posture with most of our flexible strategies which are holding 50-60% cash. We’re not invested close to where we’d prefer to be, but we believe it’s a prudent posture right now. Third, the Fed’s new motto might be: “Darned if you do, darned if you don’t.” And that’s the problem – with only one tool in the toolbox, doing more of what didn’t work last year doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense.
