Market Review and Outlook 1Q13
Legg Mason Capital Management | April 30,2013

Capital Management reviews the previous quarter and provides its outlook for the equity market

  • Every investor who went to cash sometime in 2008 or 2009 and has never come back has missed one of the best multi-year periods in the market since the heyday of the late '90s
  • In our view, investors in aggregate seem to have set their risk profile too low. We reach this conclusion because of the extraordinarily low embedded expectations for equities especially relative to what investors can realize in apparently less risky bond alternatives
  • Going beyond the notion of style (growth vs value) to understand a manager's investment process, how decisions are made and where that manager resides on the risk frontier are critical elements in creating diversified portfolios
