Bill Kennedy, Chief Investment Officer at Fieldpoint Private, will be available for interviews regarding his belief that overvalued assets will struggle to appreciate as interest rates reset into positive territory, even if the economic environment is a healthy one. His prescription? Stop allocating assets based on returns and start doing so based on risk.
