Belgian asset manager Candriam believes European equities are more at risk than those in the U.S. due to current market conditions. In a recent report, Candriam suggests that investors should prepare for potential events that could exacerbate this difference.
The company believes that political uncertainty in Europe poses a greater risk than that in the U.S. Brexit, the Italian crisis, ongoing tensions in Spain and German political instability are just a few examples affecting the markets. Candriam warns that such events could have serious implications for European equities and investors should consider reassessing their portfolios.
The company also points to the depreciation of the euro against the U.S. dollar. A weaker euro could have a negative impact on the profits of European companies that operate internationally and settle in U.S. dollars. Candriam therefore recommends reviewing currency exposures and possibly hedging to minimize losses.
Overall, Candriam stresses the importance of investors keeping a close eye on the European equity market and preparing for changes in market conditions. Current political and economic uncertainties make the European market a higher risk than the U.S. market.

The banking sector in Europe is also affected by the uncertainty. Continued low interest rates and the unclear future of the European Union are having an impact on banks in Europe. Candriam expects European bank stocks to weaken even further.

Strong growth in US equity markets
U.S. equity markets continue to be strong and show considerable growth. Economic growth in the United States has helped many investors put their money into U.S. equities for high returns.
However, experts see an increasing risk for European equities compared to those in the U.S. Candriam, a European asset manager, states that equities in Europe are more at risk than in the U.S., particularly due to political uncertainty and economic instability in some European countries.
Nevertheless, there are also investors who want to diversify their portfolios and not only invest in U.S. stocks. One possible solution may be to choose international ETFs that invest in global equity markets to minimize risk and maximize potential returns.

Our recommendations for investors: European stocks more at risk than U.S. stocks
Based on current market conditions and our research team at Candriam, we currently see European equities as more at risk compared to U.S. equities. Here are our recommendations for investors:
- Diversify: We recommend investors broadly diversify their portfolios to minimize the risk of market volatility. It is advisable to invest not only in equities, but also in other asset classes such as bonds and commodities.
- Valuation: investors should carefully review the valuations of the companies in which they intend to invest. A strong valuation may indicate that the company is overvalued and the potential for future growth is limited.
- Industry selection: We believe some sectors in Europe are less at risk than others, such as healthcare and technology. Investors should make careful sector selections to strengthen their portfolios.
Ultimately, it comes down to an investor’s individual risk tolerance and investment strategy. Candriam recommends that investors contact their financial advisor to find an individual solution tailored to their specific needs.
