Moving to a slightly less aggressive posture given some reopening has played out, supply chain difficulties remain and valuations remain elevated. 

We are also seeing some indications of slowing economic growth and we still don’t have a clear picture of just how transitory inflationary pressures will prove to be. 

In light of all these factors we decided to make a modest change to a somewhat less aggressive positioning, while deploying cash in select portfolios to realign select asset class weights back to targets.
