See Market Insights for the May On the Markets from the Global Investment Committee featuring
• "Here We Go Again?" After strengthening earlier in the year, US economic data has begun to weaken. We saw this "growth scare" in 2010 and 2011, and in both cases, equity markets pulled back. Is this pattern going to repeat?
• "Seek Return of Capital via Dividends and Buybacks" In our view, return of capital remains an important theme in the US equity market. That means investors should seek companies that return capital to shareholders by raising dividends and/or buying their shares.
• "Q&A: Running With the Recession Forecast" Lakshman Achuthan, chief operations officer of the Economic Cycle Research Institute, speaks with Charles Reinhard, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney's deputy chief investment officer, about the economic indicators behind the forecast.
Plus, look for more on European equities, Treasury bonds, corporate bonds and municipal bonds.
