Blog – What is up with the Stock Market – WE – February 25, 2022 Volatility spiked last week as Russia launched a full invasion of Ukraine, and Western countries responded with sanctions. The combination of heightened geopolitical risk, ongoing inflation pressures, and tightening central-bank policy pushed equities further into correction territory, declining 12% from their Jan. 3 high before rebounding later in the week. Commodities surged, and traditional safe heavens, such as bonds and the U.S. dollar, rallied1. While we acknowledge that the current backdrop poses fresh challenges for the global recovery, we think that fundamental conditions remain supportive enough to prevent the current correction from becoming something worse, like a bear market. We'd offer the following perspective on the recent developments and provide some rules for the road to navigate the current volatility.

BOC “The Bank of Canada deployed QE to fight the
COVID-19 recession, and so far, as acquired more
than $330 billion of Government of Canada debt
since the end of March 2020. Central bankers
dislike becoming active players in private markets,
but without their intervention, the cost of
borrowing money to invest probably would drift
higher, slowing the recovery.” -

14. ESG REPORTING
PRESENTATION TITLE 2/11/20XX 14
Blog - Materiality Question Dogs SEC’s ESG Disclosure Project -
“When it comes to disclosure, investors have told us what they want,” Gensler tweeted in early August. “It’s now time for the
commission to take the baton.”
However, it would be practically impossible for the SEC to require all the above-listed information in one expansive rule. In
addition, though it might please climate change activists, it would alienate issuers and bring heaps of scorn from the business
lobby. More importantly, though, it could violate a bedrock principle of SEC disclosure mandates: materiality.
Disclosures are material when they are reasonably likely to impact a company’s financial condition or operating performance.
Therefore, they are the most important to investors, to use the definition of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board.
