Consuelo Mack:
“So Francois, it is not easy to be a naysayer, to be bearish when we’re in a bull market. Right? You’ve been here before.”
Francois Trahan:
“Yes. So I would say that this is the very late innings of the bull market. We’re not bullish or bearish to try to be counter consensus. We’re bullish or bearish based on our view of the outlook of the future economy. So it wasn’t any easier being bullish at the beginning of the year than it is being bearish now with regards to 2017. Well, I shouldn’t say that. Maybe it was a little bit easier because the reality is our industry is really geared for a rising market because there are a lot more assets in long-only strategies than in market-neutral strategies.”
