Opportunities in International Markets

Cambiar examines the benefits of international investing.

INTERNATIONAL MARKETS REMAIN ATTRACTIVE DESPITE STRONG YEAR TO DATE PERFORMANCE.

ROOM TO RECOVER

Many Int’l markets have yet to fully rebound from their 2007 highs – as their economies improve we believe there is room for these markets to get back to those levels.

RELATIVE VALUATIONS – U.S. VS INT’L

Int’l Equities appear undervalued to the U.S. on both a P/B and forward P/E basis.

FORWARD EPS – U.S. VS INT’L

Earnings in the U.S. are at peak levels, while int’l markets aren’t as far along in the cycle and may have more room to run.

EPS – EURO STOXX 50

After seven years of declining or flat EPS, consensus estimates point towards a rebound in European earnings growth.
