    2025 Midyear Investment Outlook

    26 June 2025 By Capital Group

    As we reach the midpoint of 2025, the change we’ve witnessed since the start of the year is staggering and has translated into a high level of market volatility. We are in the middle of a fundamental restructuring of the geopolitical order that we’ve known since the end of World War II – politically, militarily and economically.

    30 years on, what can the AIM market teach us?

    26 June 2025 By Premier Miton Investors

    As AIM celebrates its 30th year Gervais Williams, Head of Equities, discusses the retreat of the Globalisation or Goldilocks years. Similar to the story of Goldilocks, who discovered a bowl of porridge that was neither too hot nor too cold, it has been so with globalisation. Economic conditions have been just right and assets have delivered supernormal returns – for decades and decades. However, there’s a gnawing market anxiety. Renewed nationalism. Protectionism. Economic conditions are no longer just right. Where will markets go from here?

    Shinning a light on share remuneration

    24 June 2025 By Amundi

    Share buybacks have become a standard corporate tool in achieving capital efficiency. In a share buyback, a company buys its own shares from existing shareholders, and thereby distributing capital to them in an alternative way to dividends. The practice was banned in the US until the early 1980’s when SEC formally set out the regulation, and eventually it spread globally. This growth has taken place despite some concerns that share buybacks were being used for management’s personal gain at the expense of long-term growth. Critics have also suggested that they have dampened innovation and encouraged excessive leverage levels.

    Europe Edition: A crossroads

    18 June 2025 By UBS Asset Management

    Henry Kissinger famously asked, “Who do I call if I want to speak to Europe?”. While Europe has clearly made strides since Kissinger’s provocative jibe, many of the underlying challenges remain. One currency, but 27 underlying markets across a whole swathe of industries and sectors – with fragmented infrastructure, regulation and legal structures.

    18 June 2025 By UBS Asset Management

    Over the last 25 years, a wide gap has emerged between the US and European economic and stock market performance. Steve Magill looks at whether recent signs of a challenge to this hegemony are a mere blip, or an important inflection point.

    Mid-year Investment Outlook 2025

    17 June 2025 By Amundi

    “Despite unpredictable policymaking, business resilience, and the reorganisation of global trade and financial systems, the expected rate cuts from central banks will create opportunities in global equities. We are focusing on themes such as European defence spending, US deregulation, corporate governance reform in Japan, and the ‘Make in India’ initiative.”

    India and EM are winners of the rerouting shift

    17 June 2025 By Amundi

    We maintain a positive outlook on emerging market (EM) equities for H2 2025, driven by recovering macro momentum, stabilising inflation, and central banks on an easing path. While growth remains positive and earnings decelerate to low single digits, the key narrative is the fading US exceptionalism, highlighted by a weakening dollar and declining trust in US policy, which enhances the attractiveness of EM through repatriation and diversification flows.

    Macro brief: What could a China shock 2.0 mean for Europe?

    16 June 2025 By Capital Group

    High US tariffs make it more likely a bigger share of China’s industrial overcapacity finds its way to Europe. This would benefit European consumers by lowering inflation and boosting real incomes. But without any trade response from Brussels, it could squeeze domestic production and to counter that, targeted trade defence measures may be required.

    We don’t pretend to have all the answers on China and the US, and we reserve the right to change our minds – especially as Donald Trump changes his. Amid such market volatility we are not making bold macro calls, instead our focus is on thoughtful, quality-led stock selection.
