Chart of the Month

This chart shows the relative price performance of US and European stocks going back to 1950. Today, this ratio is at a 70-year high and truly in uncharted territory.

We tend to believe in the concept of mean reversion - or the idea that, given enough time, key ratios will return to their long-term averages. For this to happen in this ratio, performance out of Europe would need to pick up, performance out of the US would need to slow down, or both. This is just another reason why we believe international markets hold opportunities for the value investor.

Sharon’s Favorite Apple Tart Recipe

This month's employee favorite comes from Sharon Elston, our Chief Compliance Officer. She shares her favorite apple tart recipe, just in time for fall.

"I found this recipe several years ago when I was looking for an alternative to a deep-dish apple pie. It's simple to make, delicious to eat, and it's a perfect blend of flavors for this time of year. One change that I would recommend: consider using a firmer apple, like a Honey Crisp, instead of the Golden Delicious. The full recipe can be found in Food&Wine magazine."
