In this edition, Lori discusses the results of her latest quarterly US equity investor survey, which was conducted June 15th – 22nd and included mostly institutional US focused equity investors.

Second, the survey identified several things behind the increase in bearishness – valuation concerns have risen to a new survey high, most of our participants expect a long, slow recovery, and fears of a 2nd wave of the coronavirus are high as are worries about the outcome of the 2020 election in the US.
