Fisher Investments’ Founder Ken Fisher Shares Positive Fundamentals Investors May Be Missing

Fisher Investments’ founder, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Investment Officer Ken Fisher discusses positive fundamentals some may be missing amid this current environment of widespread investor pessimism. Multiple scary narratives abound, including fears about Fed rate hikes, a potential US recession, among others. However, Ken encourages investors to sift through the noise and shares that the economy is stronger than most appreciate.

According to Ken, from an economic standpoint, factors like robust loan growth, growing travel demand, and low unemployment should give investors some optimism. For example, historically, recessions do not typically occur amid a backdrop of growing loan growth. Furthermore, as bank reserve requirements were eliminated in 2020, banks’ deposit base costs are minimal. Therefore, as the Fed raises rates, short-term loans become more profitable for banks, increasing their motivation to lend. Ken also points out that unemployment—currently low—usually starts to rise and travel demand—currently growing—tends to decline before a recession. Together, these factors indicate a global recession is not likely, or will be less severe than most predict.
