Brexit vote results on Friday disrupted steady market gains from Monday-Thursday
Market volatility prompted defensive allocation shift toward bonds over stocks
S&P 500 remains stuck near same trading range held since late 2014
This week the S&P 500 had a steady march upward over that 2100 level on Monday through Thursday. Then the results of the Brexit vote came out on Friday which roiled the markets. Overall, the S&P 500 finished the week at 2037, close to that 2043 level we’ve hovered around since mid-November 2014. Due to that neutral posture, we’re recommending a 50 percent allocation to the equity funds (C/S/I) and an increase in the fixed income bond fund to 35 percent.
