On Tuesday June 11th we hosted a conference call titled "Where Does Europe Go From Here?". On the call we highlighted the best investment opportunities in Europe and assessed the overall economy of the region.  

Summary Conclusions:

  • Fundamentals in Europe remain challenged due to structural headwinds and we should expect long-term below-mean growth
  • There is no risk to any country leaving the Eurozone or the Euro being disbanded, so another Cyprus flare-up is unlikely
  • European bifurcation will remain, with clear winners and losers:

–      Fundamentally Bullish: Germany and UK

–      Fundamentally Bearish: France, Italy and Spain

  • Establishing a fiscal and monetary union will be very challenging
  • ECB unlikely to shift policy anytime soon due to continued stress in peripheries
  • In the intermediate term, EUR/USD range-bound with a negative bias
