Sadiq Adatia of BMO Global Asset Management also thinks there could be a soft-landing or mild recession in the first or second quarter of next year

September is traditionally a tough month for financial markets and this year will likely be no exception if the volatility in August is an indication, says money manager Sadiq Adatia.

“We could have a healthy fourth-quarter rally,” says Mr. Adatia, whose firm oversees about $160-billion in assets, of which he manages about $20-billion directly. He points to BMO Equity Growth ETF Portfolio – Series F, which increased 10.1 per cent year-to-date, 13.9 per cent during the past 52 weeks, and has an annualized five-year return of 6.7 per cent. The performance is based on total returns, net of fees, as of Sept. 1.
