Foreword
The summer was dominated by the stock market slump, triggered by fears about sovereign debts, the viability of the euro zone and global economic growth. Speculation about the robustness of the European banking system and nightmare scenarios, with the euro zone as the epicentre of a major financial crisis, also undermined the equity markets. In Europe, stocks were trading at levels of discount previously hit only in 1932, 1942, 1974 and 1982.
This magnitude of undervaluation mirrors the Internet bubble of 2000 and we believe that it is just as inordinate. While market conditions were very buoyant at the time, equity prices were overvalued and the story ended with markets falling by 65%. Likewise, equity prices today do not reflect the intrinsic value of companies in the medium and long term, regardless of how things develop in the short term.
