Stocks are still in a bull market, the U.S. isn’t headed toward a recession anytime soon and the Federal Reserve is more likely than not to orchestrate a soft landing, according to UBS Asset Management’s Jeremy Zirin.

“The risk-reward from here is fairly balanced,” said Zirin, senior portfolio-manager and head of private client U.S. equities at the firm, which has approximately $1.2 trillion in assets under management. “Generally, you don’t see the U.S. equity market fall into a bear market unless you do have a recession, so I think the recessionary risks may have risen, but the biggest risks to the outlook, in my view, still appear to be fairly manageable.”
