All-time highs for major stock benchmarks, tight credit spreads and low volatility signal serenity ahead. However, in 2020 the margin for error — and opportunity — will likely be as small as it’s been in a long time.

As more investors look to invest, many have become disillusioned with costly active fund strategies, opting to funnel more money into low-cost, passive index-based ETFs.
“A strong flexible portfolio begins with the core. It provides a stable foundation to pursue specific investment goals—from managing risk and generating income to growing capital through diversification,” according to State Street Global Advisors.
“But core investing shouldn’t be costly. Instead, investors should have confidence that they aren’t overpaying for returns in the largest part of their portfolio.”
