全球最大资产管理机构重磅发声!

Core Viewpoint - Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming a new anchor point for global markets, despite high valuations of US tech stocks compared to historical levels, due to strong profitability of related companies [2][4][6]. Group 1: Market Environment and Investment Strategy - The current global environment is complex, with a lack of macroeconomic anchors affecting investment strategies. Traditional strategic asset allocation is challenged by the absence of long-term anchors [4][5]. - Investors should allocate more risk budget to tactical asset allocation (6-12 months) rather than strategic asset allocation (over 3 years) in the current environment [5]. - AI is identified as a significant driving force for long-term returns, surpassing macroeconomic predictions, and is currently in its first phase of development [6]. Group 2: AI and Investment Opportunities - AI infrastructure investment prospects are promising, driven by strong structural forces that will take years to fully materialize. There is confidence in infrastructure investments, particularly in renewable energy [8]. - The "Tech Seven" companies in the US have shown significant profitability growth, although their stock prices have only slightly increased this year. This disconnect between market performance and profitability presents tactical investment opportunities [6][9]. Group 3: US Tech Stocks Valuation - The technology sector remains the strongest performer in the US stock market, achieving approximately 20% returns in Q1, with a year-on-year growth of 18-19%, significantly exceeding the market average of 14% [9]. - Despite slightly high valuations compared to long-term averages, traditional mean reversion principles may not apply in the new paradigm, making valuation just one of several considerations [9][10]. Group 4: Global Investment Landscape - In the next 6-12 months, a neutral stance is taken on Chinese stocks, with a preference for sectors benefiting from structural forces or policy support, particularly technology and healthcare [12]. - European tech companies are seen as having favorable conditions, especially in a local tech preference environment, while European financial stocks offer attractive dividend yields [12]. Group 5: US Treasury Market and Gold Investment - Caution is advised regarding the US Treasury market, as current pricing reflects excessive rate cut expectations, which may not align with ongoing inflation pressures [19]. - Gold is viewed as a sustainable investment, with increasing importance in portfolio diversification. Central banks are playing a larger role in gold allocation as international investors reconsider US Treasury investments [18].
