JPMORGAN/KOLANOVIC ".. A negative stance on equities has hurt the performance of our multi-asset portfolio over the past year, though this has been in part compensated by an OW in commodities and high cash and fixed income yields. However, with very high equity valuations (as well as tight credit spreads and low levels of volatility), we do not see equities as attractive investments at the moment, and we don’t see a reason to change our stance. Rates are restrictive and likely to stay so for longer, inflation readings have been higher than expected (on average), investor positioning and valuations are high, lower cohorts of consumers are showing stress, and geopolitical uncertainty is at the highest level in decades. We don’t think that narrow themes like AI chips can compensate for all of those traditional market challenges that historically worked against the cycle."
