"While we do not expect the US to lapse into recession in 2013 -- we appear to be in a reluctant and mixed recovery, and the diversity of sector returns in a strong market year-to-date suggest that not all boats will rise. A maturing earnings cycle and a challenging revenue environment leads us to recognize that not all balance sheets are created equal and not every company is poised to out-perform," said Stephen Wood, chief market strategist for Russell Investments. "In this environment, actively managed Multi Asset strategies and security selection may prove critical."
