Our view is that global values will hit a trough in the middle of 2024. Using past downturns and recoveries as a guide, it is optimal for equity investors with longer-term strategies to deploy capital at or even just before the turning point, which reduces the probability of exiting investments in a future downturn. However, the expectation that capital growth will accelerate in an upswing means that strategies with shorter time horizons can expect to deliver their cyclically highest returns between 2025 and 2027. This period will be particularly attractive for value-add strategies focused on shorter-term asset repositioning, for example. A note of caution though: it’s all about balancing risk and return. While it looks like global values are approaching a turning point, if there is another negative shock, there is a risk of lower returns from deploying today. This speaks to balancing between equity and debt exposure with the latter offering much stronger protection against these inherent timing risks. |
