David Herro on Value Catalysts in Global Markets

Catalysts For Value Investing In Today’s Markets

Rising interest rates, inflation, and a prolonged recovery should propel value stocks, says Harris Associates’ David Herro.

As the debate over growth versus value in equities continues, David Herro, Chief Investment Officer – International Equities at Harris Associates, shares his views on economic and market factors that should be favorable for value-oriented investors as the world continues to reopen.

Catalysts include:

  • Rising interest rates benefit some financials, especially in Europe.
  • Prolonged global recovery should lead to sustainable economic growth.
  • Valuation differentials between growth and value stocks should close with inflation and higher interest rates.
All investing involves risk, including the risk of loss. Investment risk exists with equity, fixed income, and alternative investments. There is no assurance that any investment will meet its performance objectives or that losses will be avoided.

Investing in value stocks presents the risk that value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform growth stocks during given periods.
