First National Bank of Omaha Publishes 2022 Investment Outlook

First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO, www.fnbo.com) has published its 2022 Investment Outlook. Prepared by the bank’s Investment Management division, the Outlook provides a comprehensive evaluation of the U.S. and global economies and how FNBO tailors portfolios to meet financial goals. This year’s Outlook discusses the current economic climate and key trends impacting investment portfolios, outlining capital market assumptions and highlighting expected returns for various investment objectives. 

Among the forecasted economic trends are as follows: consumers are financially healthy, with labor conditions favorable for employment growth; higher inflation, while leading to wage increases, is dampening consumer confidence; economic growth and inflation will likely moderate in 2022 but remain positive; residential real estate is expected to show slight price appreciation and contribute to economic activity; FNBO believes the Federal Reserve will increase interest rates and real yields will rise; corporate profit growth will remain solid, but expensive market valuations will limit returns; FNBO believes commercial real estate is attractive, but finds cryptocurrencies too speculative for direct investment. 

First National Bank of Omaha is a subsidiary of First National of Nebraska. To read the full text of the FNBO 2022 Investment Outlook – which outlines in-depth data, analysis, and perspectives – visit www.fnbo.com/outlook. More information is available at www.fnbo.com.
