White papersGermany’s fiscal shift: A boost to Europe, but U.S. edge remains
Germany’s bold fiscal expansion has sparked optimism around Europe’s growth prospects and challenged the narrative of U.S. market dominance.

White papers7 reasons why U.S. exceptionalism is only being challenged, not overtaken, by Europe
Europe’s recent market outperformance reflects a shift from tactical value plays to more fundamental drivers, led by Germany’s fiscal pivot.
