Here you will find DFA's quarterly report for Q1, 2019. In my Q4, 2018 quarterly report post, I pointed out the big red arrows that represented major stock market indexes across the globe*. My key take away was that major markets do this in the short-term; there will continue to be stretches where markets perform very poorly, but we must stay vigilant and know these big red arrows are a temporary bump in the road to the overall growth of major markets (more green arrows) and more importantly the growth of our retirement portfolios. Remember markets move quickly and we saw that happen over the last six and especially the last four months!
