The market outlook gives you an idea of when you can cruise along and be happy with your current investments or know when it’s time to be on the watch for potential market turbulence.

We automatically update the outlooks too. So, if there is sudden market turbulence & multiple position enter the red, the outlook will automatically update to reflect this.

The Market Outlook currently covers 12 major indices.  

  • S&P 500, also known as The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, contains 505 stocks issued by 500 large companies with market caps of at least $6.1 billion. You can read more here.
