Rebuilding Europe: an exciting inflection point?
This is a very interesting moment for the European market. Despite having outperformed the US last year, we believe that there is still a lot of performance to go for. A cheap starting valuation, the prospect of peace and subsequent reconstruction of Ukraine, the fiscal expansion in Germany alongside the ongoing focus on shortening supply chains could benefit small and mid-cap stocks across the region providing compelling activities for active investors.
