2022 and 2023 have both seen plenty of wild market ups and downs, but where are markets going next? Are we now breaking free from a market driven almost entirely by Fed watching? What can investors and advisors expect from continued price pushing and the impacts on earnings? VettaFi financial futurist Dave Nadig sat down with NewEdge Wealth CIO Cameron Dawson to touch on such key topics for investors looking ahead at the remainder of 2023 and start of 2024.
Dawson joined New Edge in 2022 following time at Fieldpoint Private and Bank of America. Dawson covered large-cap industrial equities for the latter’s investment solutions group chief investment office.
