Epidemics and S&P Index Performance
Coronavirus is one of thirteen epidemic outbreaks that have threatened health and economic conditions over the last 40-years. While news of the outbreaks often moves financial markets, in 11 of the 12 cases prior to coronavirus, the S&P 500 was up an average 8.8% 6-month later and in 9 of the 11 cases, it was up 13.6% after 12-months.* While we take such historic studies with a grain of salt, they are a reference point as we assess if/how this health/economic threat is different. Stay tuned.
