Nanette Abuhoff Jacobson: 我认为现在是投资国际股市的好时机,尽管过去15年表现不佳。估值不是唯一原因,我们需要催化剂。我认为有五个催化剂:首先,美国基本面因关税而减弱,增长放缓,通胀压力增加。其次,美国政策不确定性增加,需要更高的风险溢价。第三,欧洲正在进行大规模财政刺激,投入数万亿欧元来解决长期存在的问题。第四,美元走势面临挑战。第五,大型科技股的前景喜忧参半。我认为美国科技行业的资本支出回报存在疑问,同时面临更多竞争,而且科技公司可能比我们意识到的更具周期性,因为它们的收入很大一部分来自广告。由于关税的影响,欧洲必须整顿自身,监管环境正在改善,这可能标志着欧洲相对于美国出现积极变化。德国政府过去一直奉行紧缩政策,限制政府支出,但现在正在取消国防开支上限,并加大对基础设施(包括技术)的投资。针对美国的报复性关税会损害美国经济。各国央行一直在减少美元储备,增加其他货币和黄金的持有量,以降低美元风险。在国际股票投资领域,选择合适的指数非常重要,许多世界指数包含大量美国公司,因此需要关注不包括美国的指数。效率较低的市场更适合主动管理,可以产生更多回报。在欧洲市场,应关注医疗保健、电信和能源等特定行业,避免过度集中于少数德国和制药公司。欧洲市场受到科技行业的影响较大,因此需要更多的主动管理,以避免被动权重过高。国际股票配置可以从市场权重开始,然后略微超配发达市场,超配比例在5%到10%之间。欧洲面临的关税压力迫使其重新审视技术和监管,并简化商业流程,提高效率,包括创造回报、向股东返还资本和降低成本。欧洲在政府支出方面比美国更有空间。我相信欧洲将在五年内迎来转折点,美国与发达市场之间的差距将会缩小。

Deep Dive

Chapters
Despite the historical underperformance of international stocks compared to U.S. stocks, several catalysts suggest a shift in favor of international markets. These include weakening U.S. growth, policy uncertainty, European fiscal stimulus, a challenged U.S. dollar, and a mixed picture in the U.S. tech sector. The author explores the intriguing possibility that international markets, once seen as less appealing, may now offer both benefits and attractive returns.
  • International stocks have historically underperformed U.S. stocks for 15 years.
  • Valuations alone are not sufficient; catalysts are needed for market performance.
  • Five catalysts are identified: U.S. economic conditions due to tariffs, U.S. policy uncertainty, European fiscal stimulus, U.S. dollar weakness, and the mixed performance of U.S. tech stocks.
