GDP Forecast FIN824 The Stock Market
Opportunities & Risks • Upside • GDP growth • Sales & earnings growth • Market rebound • Downside • Liability tax bill • Interest rate rise • Uncertainties such as other regulations FIN824 The Stock Market
Recommendations • The conditions in financials sector has improved and sales & earnings are growing. The percentage of this sector in S&P500 also grew by about 0.4%. All these signals demonstrate the market rebound. • Future growth is also expected in the sector and the whole market as well, showing the increasing confidence of investors and analysts. • However, the uncertainties and risks are not negligible. • We recommend to buy 200 basis points to bring SIM weighting relative to S&P500 to 13.10%. As a result, SIM will be underweight in this sector by 1.61%. Thus, SIM can gain from the growth of financials sector and also avoid risks to certain extent. FIN824 The Stock Market
