"With US fiscal imbalances rising and volatility surging, Orbis argues that the era of US market dominance is fading, highlighting deeply discounted assets in Japan and Brazil as prime opportunities for diversification."
In this quarterly commentary, Orbis International Equity outlines a significant global macroeconomic turning point. For the past fifteen years, the US market has vastly outperformed emerging markets (15% annualized vs. 5%), driven by export-oriented Asian nations recycling trade surpluses into US capital markets. However, this trend has created substantial structural imbalances, including a hollowed-out US industrial base and government debt levels reminiscent of World War II. Orbis notes that recent market volatility represents a warning sign that long-term yields must rise to reflect these fiscal realities, signaling the potential end of US outperformance. Conversely, these imbalances have depressed asset valuations outside the US, creating highly compelling investment opportunities. Orbis highlights Japan, where a severely weakened yen combined with rising inflation and improving corporate governance has made assets like Mitsubishi Estate exceptionally attractive. Mitsubishi Estate trades at a massive discount to its appraised value, set to benefit directly from rent inflation. Additionally, Brazil presents a rare, disciplined macro profile with high real interest rates and structural growth potential. Orbis identifies B3, Brazil's dominant exchange, as an underpriced asset trading at 14-15 times earnings, far below developed market peers.
