Investors should overweight global ex US equities in 2026 by Thomas O’Mahony Global ex US equities have outperformed US equities by 4.4 percentage points (ppts) in local currency terms so far in 2025 and by 11.2 ppts in USD terms.

Yes. Current market expectations for the Federal Reserve to lower its policy rate by roughly 150 basis points (bps) by the end of next year are overly optimistic.

Yes, we believe a combination of attractive valuations, a shifting macro and policy environment, and stretched US profitability will allow non-US equities to continue outperforming.
