Liontrust Multi-Asset Quarter in Review - Flipbook - Page 12
Performance of global stock markets
UK and Japan relative highlights in a difficult quarter for equities
In a tough period for equities overall, the UK stood out due to its skew
towards value and energy. US equities were the worst performer,
with the S&P 500 registering its weakest first half of a year since
1970, while Japanese markets held up better, buoyed by signs of a
Chinese recovery and the Bank of Japan remaining a steadfast dove
on interest rates.
