In Q1 2022, global markets faced challenges, with U.S. stocks down 5.28% and international developed and emerging markets performing even worse. Growth stocks notably lagged behind value stocks, and small caps fell more than large caps. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) also posted losses, with U.S. REITs down 3.71%. In contrast, commodities surged, gaining 25.55%, driven by energy-related products like Low Sulphur Gas Oil and Natural Gas. Bond markets struggled due to rising interest rates, resulting in negative returns across various bond indices. Despite the turbulence, the review underscores the value of staying diversified and committed to a long-term strategy to weather market volatility.
