UBS

21 September 2017: Mapping the cycle

– Some investors are concerned that eight years of expansion means we must be overdue for a downturn, but signals are mixed.

– We continue to monitor the risks of a credit crisis, exogenous shocks, and tighter monetary policy.

– We still see upside for equities and we don’t believe it currently makes sense to sacrifice returns to buy tactical hedges.

– We reduce our overweight to global equities. While economic and earnings growth should allow stocks to continue climbing, the pace of the increase is likely to slow.

Individuals around the world look to UBS to provide them with the advice, expertise and opportunities they need to grow their wealth.

Leading companies and institutions in more than 50 countries rely on our financial resources, expertise and infrastructure to help them grow their businesses, manage their risks and invest for the future.
