Asset Allocation Outlook
The pattern of Europe outperforming versus the US continued in February. Whereas the S&P500 was down by 1.4%, the STOXX 600 climbed by 3.3%. This is remarkable given the moderate outlook for growth in Europe and the high level of geopolitical uncertainty. It’s also remarkable in light of the recent developments in bond yields. This is because US bond yields dropped sharply, which in the past few years has generally been positive for equities. Yields likewise fell in Germany and the UK, but to a much lesser extent than in the US.
Please see Van Lanschot Kempen’s Asset Allocation Outlook for March. The highlights this month are:
- High level of geopolitical uncertainty
- US growth slows, European earnings expectations improve
- Equity overweight spread across industrial nations
