This week, on the #BourseReport we consider the potential direction of local/regional (and international) equity markets in the year ahead. We discuss possible drivers that could shape the investment landscape in 2025 and consider the outlook for various market sectors.

In the latest Orbis Emerging Markets Equity commentary, Orbis Investments delves into why the Fund holds selective but significant positions in financials — especially banks in Korea, Thailand, India, and Brazil. From Korea’s “Value-Up” initiative to tackle the "Korea discount", to Thailand’s healthy lending spreads, discover how these banks stand out with strong balance sheets, shareholder-friendly management, and attractive valuations. With opportunities like these, we believe there's significant value for long-term investors.

Despite the political buzz in 2024, the real story is the macroeconomic forces at play. Mexico's near-shoring boom and Latin America's growth present significant investment opportunities. Forstrong's actively-managed emerging market equity ETF is poised to capitalize on these trends.

Asian convertible bonds delivered strong returns in 2023 and also year-to-date in 2024. Our CB CIO Arnaud Gernath and our team Asia expert Larry Pun, have put together this short read detailing some of the main potential performance drivers and risks associated with an investment in Asia Pacific convertibles. We run a stand-alone fund and also have an allocation in our main global strategy. We hope you agree that the opportunity set is compelling and find this a useful recap if you are considering an allocation to the asset class.

US companies now account for nearly 74% of the iShares MSCI World ETF, which represents developed market equities—marking the highest allocation ever recorded. Compare that to the US's low of around 33% in December '88, when Japan made up roughly 36%, Europe was at approximately 28%, and Canada less than 0.5%. Fast forward to today, and Japan and Europe have hit their lowest allocations in history at around 5% and 15%. As for Canada, while no longer at its all-time low, remains below its peak of ~6% in 2011, currently standing at around 3%. These shifts highlight how the US market—driven largely by the success of its tech giants—has grown in dominance, while other developed regions have lost ground. It’s an important reminder of how markets evolve and why diversification across geographies is a critical strategy for long-term investors. #globalinvesting #geographicallocation #equitymarkets #investinginsights #portfoliomanagement

While Warren Buffett famously avoided tech stocks in 2000, his focus on stable investments like real estate paid off. It originally seemed conservative, which Buffett then turned into a strategic advantage. The craziest part? A decade later, his portfolio's resilience proved unmatched. Insane.

Investors should be cautious despite the impressive performance of tech giants and the US stock market. Market volatility means rapid gains can quickly turn into sharp declines. High valuations might not always reflect the companies' true fundamentals, making them vulnerable to negative news. It's essential to maintain a long-term perspective and focus on the required rate of return to achieve your financial goals, rather than getting too excited about market upswings and falling into the trap of greed.
