Germany’s stock market – perhaps like the country itself - is sometimes mischaracterised as solid and reliable, and perhaps overly dependent on industrial heavyweights. But as we highlighted in a post earlier this year (link to Tim’s post about Germany) German stock market performance has been more than solid since COVID – in fact the second best performing Developed European market (as measured by FTSE GEIS) since the recovery began on 23rd March. And that growth is in part due to a greater diversity than the stereotype of blue-chip industrial behemoths.
