Portfolio Playbook: Global recovery continues

With improving global growth, we’re maintaining our risk asset exposure in June, favoring US value, US small-cap, and emerging market stocks. Optimize your portfolios with our outlook and allocation guidance.

Latest market outlook

Risk assets continue to reflect optimism and confidence towards a favorable macro environment with muted volatility in the near term. Based on our framework, we expect global growth to remain below its long-term trend,  but there’s potential for a more balanced contribution from other parts of the world. While the US has led the global recovery since late 2022, recent economic data point to a broadening of growth momentum to other developed markets and emerging markets, except for China. For our longer-term perspectives, read our 2024 Midyear Investment Outlook.

Where do we go from here?

Leading economic indicators continue to improve at a rapid clip in the eurozone, UK, and Japan, led by rising consumer confidence and manufacturing business surveys. Improving orders and demand expectations, particularly in export-oriented industries, are lifting the prospect for a cyclical rebound in Europe after a prolonged period of anemic growth. Similarly, global earnings revisions have started to reflect improving economic prospects outside the US, with a modest but encouraging upturn across developed markets and emerging markets, apart from China. US earnings prospects continue to lead. The relative performance between major equity markets has started discounting the potential for this rotation. After the pronounced leadership of US equities in January, developed ex-US and emerging market equities have performed remarkably in line with US equities, despite the extraordinary outperformance of mega-cap US technology names.

Asset allocations to consider

A challenge for tactical investors is preparing for the expected and anticipating the unexpected. The tactical asset allocation (TAA) framework from the Invesco Solutions team is designed to enhance a long-term strategic asset allocation (SAA) by making portfolio tilts based on near-term market views. 

In June, we’re maintaining our exposure to risk assets, including US value and small-cap and emerging market stocks. The tactical, dynamic factor rotation shown below is also utilized in the Invesco Russell 1000® Dynamic Multifactor ETF (OMFL).



  • About our allocations

    • The Invesco Solutions team develops portfolios for client-oriented outcomes over multiple time horizons. Our tactical asset allocation (TAA), regime-based framework dynamically adjusts exposures to asset classes, regions, sectors, and factors, to create multi-asset portfolios designed for the prevailing macroeconomic environment. Strategic asset allocation (SAA) positioning is derived from our rigorous investment process, which consists of long-term capital market assumptions (CMAs), portfolio optimization, and risk management.

Allocating to alternatives

Including alternatives like private credit, equity, and real assets, listed real assets, commodities, digital assets, and hedge funds in a portfolio can help improve growth, potential income, and diversification. They can also help financial professionals differentiate their practices, attract high-net-worth clients, move up-market, and consolidate and retain AUM.  Get our outlook, asset class views, and allocation guidance for investing in private markets and liquid alternatives in our Alternatives Playbook.
