SEB: Investment Outlook: Equities regaining their role in financial markets
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Among problem-filled political processes, the economic recovery has been pushed
into the background. Recession risks are down sharply, and there is a growing
likelihood of better times ahead. This is the main theme of SEB's quarterly
Investment Outlook report.
For a long time, market players have had a sceptical attitude towards risk
investments, based on the problems that have existed and still exist around the
world. Capital has flowed out of the stock market and into the bond market.
Conditions are now about to change, SEB believes:
"Putting money into stock markets will make more and more sense if there is a
greater focus on the recovery. The road to recovery will still be lined by
financial risks. Yet opportunities exist, and returns will be generated in
places other than traditional industrialised countries," says Hans Peterson,
Chief Investment Officer at SEB Private Banking.
Today new value is being generated in countries outside the usual field of
vision of Swedish investors. In order to navigate properly through unfamiliar
geographic areas, SEB has developed a method for locating and filtering where
the opportunities are best. Investment Outlook presents this quantitative
Country Model for the first time. It is based on stock markets, not on the
macro-economy.
"The model is one element - a quantitative one - that we use as a tool in our
management of global equities, but we have of course supplemented it with
qualitative analyses as well," Mr Peterson says.
Looking at the Country Model, three countries stand out as the most attractive:
Norway, Indonesia and Turkey. Sweden ends up only in 17(th) place on the list.
"For those who dare to take risks in global stock markets, this model may
provide exciting inspiration, especially at a time when capital is shifting from
defensive to aggressive positions," Mr Peterson says.
Investment Outlook gives readers an in-depth look at the investment climate and
the prospects for seven asset classes. It also provides advice about current
risks and opportunities in the art of investing. The report can be read in its
