Since then, the MSCI World has lost 9% from its January high, and, while they have identified a handful of factors that could provide some relief to equities in 1H19, longer term, they remained extremely cautious and recommended that equity investors protect portfolios from more restrictive monetary policy, political uncertainties and trade tensions.
In their latest publication, the team shares their convictions on markets and some key recommendations to navigate these difficult equity markets. In coordination with equity analysts, strategists highlight opportunities and risks on each European sectors, looking at valuations, profitability, growth prospects, balance sheets and fundamentals.
