NEW YORK (Reuters) - Strategists at the world’s largest asset manager BlackRock Inc told their financial adviser clients on Wednesday to look at cutting back on risk and lower expectations for high returns on stocks and bonds, “We may get another leg-up from earnings but I would say the type of returns we experienced in the first quarter should not be extrapolated,” miami hurricanes cufflinks BlackRock’s chief equity strategist Kate Moore said during its quarterly U.S, wealth advisory event, which was attended over the web by about 1,300 of its financial adviser clients..

To do this, BlackRock’s head of factor investing, Andrew Ang, favors quality - an approach where the focus is on companies that have a track record of stable earnings, are productive and sport a relatively lower level of debt.
“When we take that sort of position we can still participate in the upside for markets but we do that with a more defensive posture,” said Ang, On Tuesday, BlackRock Chief Executive Larry Fink said the U.S, miami hurricanes cufflinks economy is speeding up again after a slowdown in recent months and cash could soon start rushing into stocks as most investors are underinvested in the markets globally, BlackRock’s Moore agrees, She said a continued dovish tone from the Fed and global central banks, coupled with stabilizing economic growth and an improvement in the outlook for corporate earnings, could still help drive stocks higher..
