INSIGHTS MARKETS
2025 was an excellent year for equity markets across all geographic regions. Total return performances (with net dividends reinvested) of the world’s major markets (United States, EMU, Europe, Japan, China) rose by an average of 20% throughout the year. Such performance had not been seen for some time, particularly in the euro area.2026 should remain supportive for equity markets, albeit with some persistent risk factors. Diversification and selectivity will remain key investment principles in 2026.
