Investment Outlook, June 2011: Potential returns ahead despite risks
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Steeply rising stock market and economic upturns earlier this year will be
followed by gentler growth this summer. This will not be so dramatic, but
investors who know how to assess market risks properly can identify
opportunities for good returns, according to the June issue of Investment
Outlook - a large, wide-ranging guide to the investment climate published today
by SEB.
"We will enter a calmer phase over the summer, which may be satisfactory from an
investor's point of view despite clear risks, but there are signs that we have
passed the point where leading indicators have peaked," says Hans Peterson,
Global Head of Investment Strategy at SEB Private Banking.
According to stock market and cyclical indicators in most countries, the world
economy is in the midst of a growth period. Many countries are pursuing
supportive, accommodative monetary policies. The inflation outlook is
fundamentally favourable in many places. Overall, this leads to a positive view
of stock markets and other cyclically dependent markets.
Meanwhile there are various risk scenarios that might disrupt the desire to
invest: sovereign financial problems, governments that are no longer propping up
markets with stimulus measures, various tensions in developed as well as
emerging markets, and the impact of geopolitical events on the market for
commodities. Conditions favourable to the growth of speculative bubbles are also
discernible in some places.
"All this may sound gloomy, but a calm analysis of each of these risks leads to
the assessment that there are still plenty of investment opportunities for those
who choose properly," Mr Peterson says.
Investment Outlook gives the reader an in-depth look at the investment climate
for seven asset classes and ways of approaching country allocation, along with
suggestions and advice on current risks and opportunities in the art of
investing. The report can be read in its entirety at www.sebgroup.com or
