The February 2025 edition of the Schroders Equity Lens is now available: Schroders Equity Lens
Summary:
- President Trump’s actions have ignited tariff risk in many economies. Economies running trade deficits with the US and stock markets with larger shares of revenues coming from the US both face risks (slides 5-6)
- US investors have been allocating more to European, UK, Taiwanese, and Indian stocks. They are now major shareholders in many international markets e.g. they own 30% in the UK. Will changing attitudes at home influence voting patterns abroad? (slides 7-8)
- Europeans have also been buying more US equities, whereas Canadians have been sellers (slide 9)
- Investors’ portfolios dominated by the US risk missing opportunities elsewhere. European markets have been outperforming the US recently, have encouraging earnings prospects, are benefitting from an upsurge in share buybacks, and are on cheaper valuations (slides 12-14, 18, 20-21, 26-29).
- The rest of the global market has returned the same as the Magnificent 7 since the middle of 2024 (slide 14)
