RESET Man surfing on sea waves Q4 2024 Investment Outlook Waves of transformation Oct. 2, 2024 | The world could be undergoing a transformation akin to past technological revolutions. But the speed, size and impact of that investment is highly uncertain. We think leaning into the transformation and adapting as the outlook changes will be key. Read our Q4 update Read our Q4 update

Investment themes

01

Getting real

We see a new wave of investment into the real economy transforming economies and markets. Spotting winners will require deep insights on the technology being developed – and the potential disruption it entails.

02

Leaning into risk

We look for investments that can do well across scenarios and lean into the current most likely one. For us, that’s a concentrated artificial intelligence scenario where AI winners and other beneficiaries can keep driving stocks.

03

Spotting the next wave

Investors should look for where the next wave of investment opportunity may come. We stay dynamic and ready to overhaul asset allocations when outcomes can be starkly different.

Read details of our outlook:

Embracing transformation

The regime of greater macro and market volatility has taken hold, shaped by supply constraints like shrinking working-age populations. The result? Higher inflation and interest rates and weaker growth relative to pre-pandemic – and elevated public debt. 

But now investment opportunities transcend the macro backdrop. We see waves of transformation on the horizon, driven by five mega forces – or structural shifts. We see three of them spurring major capital spending: the race to build out AI, the low-carbon transition and the rewiring of supply chains. The size, speed and impact of that investment is highly uncertain, but we think it could transform economies and markets on a scale rarely seen in history. We lean into the concentrated AI scenario where a handful of AI winners can keep driving stocks, see details below. 

In this new regime, the real economy matters more. Our first theme is Getting real. We see the biggest opportunities in the real economy as investment flows into infrastructure, energy systems and technology – and the people driving them. Nvidia’s recent surge reflects the big investment expectations and uncertainty from the rise of AI. See the chart below.

Volatile AI stock valuations reflect the uncertainty ahead

A potential investment boom

Mega forces are driving this transformation and are starting to unleash massive investment into the real economy: infrastructure, energy systems, advanced technology – and people.

Our second theme is Leaning into risk. We think investors should take risk more deliberately now, across multiple dimensions. First, consider the time horizon. Second, be deliberate in choosing the type of risk exposure. Some U.S. company stocks are now larger in value than the entire benchmark index of some nations, showing how they can dominate broad index exposures. This emphasizes why investors must be deliberate with their risk-taking. See the chart below. Third, be deliberate about blending different sources of return across public and private markets. 

Companies larger than country stock markets

Weighing five near-term scenarios

We worked with BlackRock portfolio managers to develop five, distinct scenarios for the near-term outlook of six- to 12-months. They help put parameters around varying states of the world – albeit they do not capture the many potential outcomes beyond that horizon.These scenarios span a wide range of outcomes.

  1. 01. Concentrated AI
  2. 02. High rates, hard landing
  3. 03. Subdued growth, stubborn
  4. 04. Broad productivity gains
  5. 05. Rescued hard landing
Purple Coler Concentrated AI

Concentrated AI

AI-driven growth boost not enough to offset other structural drags. Inflation pressure is ongoing and policy rates stay high for longer.

Yellow Color High rates, hard landing

High rates, hard landing

Sticky inflation rules out rate cuts, and strong demand could trigger further hikes. Growth slows sharply. AI valuations hit hard.

Green Color Subdued growth, stubborn

Subdued growth, stubborn inflation

Growth slows to a lower trend pace, inflation is sticky above target and policy rates stay higher.

Pink Color Broad productivity gains

Broad productivity gains (AI and capex boom)

AI-driven growth is broad based, lifting potential output. Inflation is muted and policy rates are cut sharply.

Orange Color Rescued hard landing

Rescued hard landing

Rate hikes overwhelm a broad-based AI-driven growth boost. Inflation falls below target. Central banks deliver deep rate cuts.

Ready to adapt

We think companies may need to revamp business models and invest to stay competitive. For investors, it means company fundamentals will matter even more. The gap between winners and losers could be wider than ever, in our view.

We look for investments that can do well across scenarios and lean into the current most likely one. For us, that’s a concentrated AI scenario where a handful of AI winners can keep driving stocks.

We stand ready to adapt as and when another scenario – potentially suddenly – becomes more likely as the transformation unfolds. So our third theme is Spotting the next wave. This is about being dynamic and ready to overhaul asset allocations when outcomes – and investment opportunities - can be vastly different. 

Key market views

  • U.S. stocks: We stay overweight U.S. stocks and the AI theme on a six- to 12- month view.
  • Japanese stocks: We stay overweight Japanese stocks on an improving outlook of higher inflation, wage growth and corporate pricing power. Yet risks from yen strength and policy missteps from the Bank of Japan remain
  • Private markets: We see private markets as an avenue to tap into the early winners and the infrastructure needed for the investment boom ahead. The real economy will be a focal point, with infrastructure, energy systems, and technology investments playing a critical role in shaping the future. Still, private markets are complex and not suitable for all investors.

 

Ready to adapt

Our scenarios framework helps ground our views on a tactical horizon. Yet we could change our stance quickly if a different scenario were to look more likely. This is one reason why we may need to think about strategic asset allocation differently in the future – building on our long-held view that strategic views should be dynamic in this new environment. It is no longer possible to base strategic views on just one central view of the future state of the world with some deviation around it, in our view.

Big calls

Our highest conviction views on tactical (6-12 month) and strategic (long-term) horizons, October 2024

  Reasons
Tactical  
AI and U.S. equities We see the AI buildout and adoption creating opportunities across sectors. We get selective, moving toward beneficiaries outside the tech sector. Broad-based earnings growth and a quality tilt make us overweight U.S. stocks overall.
Japanese equities A brighter outlook for Japan’s economy and corporate reforms are driving improved earnings and shareholder returns. Yet the drag on earnings from a stronger yen and some mixed policy signals from the Bank of Japan are risks.
Income in fixed income The income cushion bonds provide has increased across the board in a higher rate environment. We like quality income in short-term credit. We’re neutral long-term U.S. Treasuries.
Strategic  
Private markets We see opportunities in infrastructure equity due to attractive relative valuations and mega forces. For income, we prefer direct lending given more attractive yields than in public credit.
Fixed income granularity We prefer intermediate credit, which offers similar yields with less interest rate risk than long-dated credit. We also like short-term government bonds, and UK long-term bonds.
Equity granularity We favor emerging over developed markets yet get selective in both. EMs at the cross current of mega forces – like India and Saudi Arabia – offer opportunities. In DM, we like Japan as the return of inflation and corporate reforms brighten our outlook.

Tactical granular views

Six- to 12-month tactical views on selected assets vs. broad global asset classes by level of conviction, October 2024

Legend Granular

Our approach is to first determine asset allocations based on our macro outlook – and what’s in the price. The table below reflects this and, importantly, leaves aside the opportunity for alpha, or the potential to generate above-benchmark returns. We don’t think this environment is conducive to static exposures to broad asset classes but creates more space for alpha.

Asset Tactical view Commentary
Equities
United States United States: tactical Overweight +1 We are overweight given our positive view on the AI theme. Valuations for AI beneficiaries are supported as tech companies keep beating high earnings expectations. We think upbeat sentiment can broaden out. Falling inflation is easing pressure on corporate profit margins.
Europe Europe: tactical Underweight -1 We are underweight relative to the U.S., Japan and the UK – our preferred markets. Valuations are fair. A growth pickup and European Central Bank rate cuts support a modest earnings recovery. Yet political uncertainty could keep investors cautious.
U.K. U.K.: tactical Overweight +1 We are overweight. Political stability and a growth pickup could improve investor sentiment, lifting the UK's low valuation relative to other DM stock markets.
Japan Japan: Overweight 1 We are overweight. A brighter outlook for Japan’s economy and corporate reforms are driving improved earnings and shareholder returns. Yet the drag on earnings from a stronger yen and some mixed policy signals from the Bank of Japan are risks.
Emerging markets Emerging markets: tactical Neutral We are neutral. The growth and earnings outlook is mixed. We see valuations for India and Taiwan looking high.
China China: Overweight+1 We are modestly overweight. China’s fiscal stimulus is not yet enough to address the drags on economic growth, but we think stocks are at attractive valuations to DM shares. We stand ready to pivot. We are cautious long term given China’s structural challenges.
Fixed income
Short U.S. Treasuries Short U.S. Treasuries: tactical underweight -1 We are underweight. We don’t think the Fed will cut rates as sharply as markets expect. An aging workforce, persistent budget deficits and the impact of structural shifts like geopolitical fragmentation should keep inflation and policy rates higher over the medium term.
Long U.S. Treasuries Long U.S. Treasuries: Neutral We are neutral. Markets are pricing in sharp Fed rate cuts and term premium is close to zero. We think yields will keep swinging in both directions on incoming data. We prefer intermediate maturities less vulnerable to investors demanding greater term premium.
Global inflation-linked bonds Global inflation -linked bonds : Neutral We are neutral. We see higher medium-term inflation, but cooling inflation and growth may matter more near term.
Euro area government bonds European bonds: tactical Neutral We are neutral. Market pricing reflects policy rates in line with our expectations and 10-year yields are off their highs. Political uncertainty remains a risk to fiscal sustainability.
UK Gilts U.K. gilts: tactical Overweight+1 We are overweight. Gilt yields offer attractive income, and we think the Bank of England will cut rates more than the market is pricing given a soft economy.
Japan government bonds Japan government bonds: tactical Underweight -2 We are underweight. Stock returns look more attractive to us. We see some of the least attractive returns in JGBs.
China government bonds China government bonds: tactical Neutral We are neutral. Bonds are supported by looser policy. Yet we find yields more attractive in short-term DM paper.
U.S. agency MBS U.S. agency MBS: tactical neutral 01 We are neutral. We see agency MBS as a high-quality exposure in a diversified bond allocation and prefer it to IG.
Short-term IG credit Short-term IG credit: tactical Overweight +1 We are overweight. Short-term bonds better compensate for interest rate risk. We prefer Europe over the U.S.
Long-term IG credit Long-term IG credit: tactical Underweight -1 We are underweight. Spreads are tight, so we prefer taking risk in equities from a whole portfolio perspective. We prefer Europe over the U.S.
Global high yield Global high yield: tactical Neutral We are neutral. Spreads are tight, but the total income makes it more attractive than IG. We prefer Europe.
Asia credit Asia credit: tactical Neutral We are neutral. We don’t find valuations compelling enough to turn more positive.
Emerging market - hard currency Emerging market-hard currency: tactical Neutral 00 We are neutral. The asset class has performed well due to its quality, attractive yields and EM central bank rate cuts. We think those rate cuts may soon be paused.
Emerging market - local currency Emerging market-local currency: tactical neutral We are neutral. Yields have fallen closer to U.S. Treasury yields, and EM central banks look to be turning more cautious after cutting policy rates sharply.

Equities    
 Europe ex UK Europe ex-UK: tactical Underweight -1 We are underweight relative to the U.S., Japan and the UK – our preferred markets. Valuations are fair. A growth pickup and European Central Bank rate cuts support a modest earnings recovery. Yet political uncertainty could keep investors cautious.
Germany Germany: tactical neutral0-1 We are neutral. Valuations and earnings momentum are supportive relative to peers, especially as global manufacturing activity bottoms out and ECB rate cuts ease financing conditions.
France France: tactical Underweight -1 We are underweight given modestly supportive valuations. The result of France’s parliamentary election could impact business conditions for French companies. Yet only a small portion of the revenues and operations of major French companies are tied to domestic activity.
Italy Italy: tactical Underweight -1 We are underweight. Valuations dynamics are supportive relative to peers, but recent growth and earnings outperformance seems largely due to significant fiscal stimulus in 2022-2023 that cannot be sustained over the next few years.
Spain Spain: tactical neutral0-1 We are neutral. Valuations and earnings momentum are supportive relative to other euro area stocks. The utilities sector looks set to benefit from an improving economic backdrop and advances in AI.
Netherlands Netherlands: tactical Underweight -1 We are underweight. The Dutch stock markets' tilt to technology and semiconductors, a key beneficiary of higher demand for AI, is offset by relatively less favorable valuations and a weaker earnings outlook than their European peers.
Switzerland Switzerland: tactical Underweight 11 We are underweight, in line with our broad European view. The earnings outlook has brightened, but valuations remain high versus other European markets. The index’s defensive tilt will likely be less supported as long as global risk appetite holds up, we think.
UK UK: tactical neutral 00 We are overweight. Political stability and a growth pickup could improve investor sentiment, lifting the UK's low valuation relative to other DM stock markets.
Fixed income    
Euro area government bonds Euro area government bonds: tactical neutral 00 We are neutral. Market pricing reflects policy rates in line with our expectations, and 10-year yields are off their highs. Political uncertainty remains a risk to fiscal sustainability.
German bunds German bunds: tactical neutral 00 We are neutral. Market pricing reflects policy rates broadly in line with our expectations, and 10-year yields are off their highs.
French OATs French OATs: tactical neutral 00 We are neutral. The EU has already warned France for breaching fiscal rules and had its sovereign credit rating downgraded earlier this year. Elevated political uncertainty, persistent budget deficits and a slower pace of structural reforms remain challenges.
Italian BTPs Italian BTPs: tactical Neutral 0 We are neutral. The spread over German bunds looks tight given its budget deficits and debt profile, also prompting a warning from the EU. Other domestic factors remain supportive, with growth holding up relative to the rest of the euro area and Italian households showing solid demand to hold BTPs at higher yields.
UK gilts UK gilts: tactical overweight+1 We are overweight. Gilt yields offer attractive income, and we think the Bank of England will cut rates more than the market is pricing given a soft economy.
Swiss government bonds Swiss government bonds: tactical neutral 00 We are neutral. The Swiss National Bank has been cutting policy rates this year amid reduced inflationary pressure. But it is unlikely to cut rates much further from here.
European inflation-linked bonds Euro area inflation-lined bonds: tactical neutral0-1 We are neutral. We see higher medium-term inflation, but cooling inflation may matter more near term. Short-term breakeven inflation rates fell further after recent inflation data, making euro area inflation-linked bonds less attractive.
European investment grade credit European investment grade credit: tactical Neutral We are neutral European investment grade credit, with a preference for short- to medium-term paper for quality income. We maintain our regional preference for European investment grade over the U.S. given spreads are not as tight.
European high yield European high yield: tactical Overweight +1 We are overweight. We find the income potential attractive. We still prefer European high yield given its more appealing valuations, higher quality and lower duration than in the U.S. Spreads compensate for risks of a potential pick-up in defaults, in our view.
