Watch as Senior Portfolio Manager, Nigel Bliss, discusses the investment case for international equities, including how Europe’s long-overlooked equity market is staging a quiet comeback—driven by fading headwinds, improved policy signals, and deeply discounted valuations.
Markets have staged an impressive rebound since April, but the underlying macro picture is far from resolved.
A weakening US dollar historically creates a fertile backdrop for emerging market assets, driven by enhanced capital flows, commodity tailwinds, and improved debt dynamics.
Global indices have rallied strongly off April’s lows, ending the quarter near all-time highs, with recent geopolitical shocks failing to disrupt the sharp recovery.
There has been a dramatic turnaround for markets over the past quarter. Investors have enthusiastically welcomed the possibility that global governments can successfully reorder trade policy with a limited impact on economic activity.
Market disruption often leads to mispricing, particularly when sentiment overrides fundamentals.
