When uncertainty hits society, we can expect stock market volatility. This is absolutely the biggest catalyst for activity and the greatest risk for traditional portfolios.

This past week has been unprecedented as we receive daily (sometimes hourly) updates on the COVID-19 situation for our communities and globally.
In response to the increasing spread of COVID-19, please see an important update from Capstone's President and Chief Investment Officer, Glenn Murray.

In response to the recent market volatility and rising issues with COVID-19, please see the comments by Capstone's President and Chief Investment Officer, Glenn Murray.
2019 has come and gone and we are well entrenched into the busyness of a new year. But as they say, hindsight is 20/20, and there are many newsworthy headlines worth reviewing to prepare us for the next quarter.
We are pleased to announce that the Capstone Non-Traditional Equity Pool was a winner in two categories.
Is this the calm before the storm? While this past quarter has felt quiet with the passing of summer to fall, we are well aware that there are many economic and political issues at play that can easily impact investors as the year closes.
During this past quarter, portfolio managers at Capstone had the opportunity to attend the annual CFA conference in London, England, along with economists and financial professionals from all over the world. The theme was “Disruption” and the time was spent exploring the various risks present in the global market and how these could manifest themselves to “disrupt” markets and ultimately investor portfolio returns.
Growing trade tensions, Brexit negotiations, Germany's slowing economy, inverted bond yields and a stalling housing market. These are just some of the factors that created a noisy first quarter in 2019.
