Global Equities : Diversifying Ideas for Crowded Markets

Global equity markets have become increasingly concentrated, with performance dominated by a narrow group of sectors and stocks. This concentration presents growing challenges with stretched valuations and US and AI sector exposure.

In this panel, we brought together leading portfolio managers with differentiated perspectives to discuss how investors can look beyond crowded trades and uncover new sources of return.

In this series of highlight interviews, we explore key themes including:

  • Modern Global Income investment
  • Deep value investment opportunities
  • Differentiated growth ideas beyond the AI boom
