Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"Bailard International Equity Strategy returned a strong 5.59% net in Q3 2025, outpacing its benchmark. The firm remains constructive on international equities, supported by cheap relative valuations and key secular themes."
Executive Summary
During Q3 2025, the Bailard EAFE Plus Composite delivered a net return of 5.59%, outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index benchmark return of 4.77%. Global markets were supported by the Fed's first rate cut and constructive trade agreements with the EU, Japan, and South Korea, though political transition in Japan and France stoked uncertainty. Since global volatility is sitting low, Bailard's country model focused primarily on momentum, leading to adjustments across Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Hong Kong, and Canada. Looking ahead, the firm maintains a constructive outlook on international equities due to cheap valuations relative to historical trends and U.S. peers, alongside strong secular tailwinds.
