A wee snippet from their most recent equity outlook:
- We are overweight equities on a strategic horizon.
- We see a better outlook for earnings amid moderate valuations.
- Incorporating climate change in our expected returns brightens the appeal of developed market equities given the large weights of sectors such as tech and healthcare in benchmark indexes.
- Tactically, we stay overweight equities as we expect the restart to re-accelerate and interest rates to stay low. We tilt toward cyclicality and maintain a bias for quality.

US equity indexes continue to hit fresh ATHs, those who stay bullish, for whatever reason, are being rewarded.
