| 2018 was a bad year for stocks... and most other assets: as Deutsche Bank showed, a record 93% of assets posted a negative total return in the past year.
Yet while bonds dropped 1.2%, equities lost 8.7%, and commodities were down 13.1%, it wasn't a bad year for cash, in fact, with a 1.8% return, this was the first year since 2000 that cash outperformed both bonds and stocks.
This abysmal cross-asset returns weren't lost on investors, and 2018 was the year when, according to BofA's Michael Hartnett, we saw "Big flow capitulation" consisting of record outflows in past 6 weeks in equities ($84b) & IG bonds ($34bn) offset by record government bond inflows ($24bn) over the same 6 week period.
