LICP Economic Update Webinar with M&T Bank

Join LIC Partnership and M&T Bank on Thursday, March 13 for an Economic Update during which Luke Tilley, Chief Economist for Wilmington Trust, will share his team’s views to help you plan for the year ahead.

This year is expected to bring new policies that, in some cases, represent significant breaks from the past four years. For investors, this policy discontinuity may introduce uncertainty to the economic and investment landscapes. The new administration’s policies could set up the economy and markets for a wide range of possible outcomes, with the potential for higher highs but also lower lows. Like the classic board game, Chutes and Ladders, equity markets over time can move upward, evoking optimism. But just as easily, they can suffer setbacks, potentially erasing any progress.

During the webinar, Luke will cover the latest economic and market updates for you and your business to consider and offer his insights on what to anticipate this year.
