Chart of the Week - Global Equity Relative Value
Global Equity Valuation Indicators: In the latest Weekly Macro Themes report, I covered small vs large, value vs growth, and global vs US equities, so I figured why not summarize the relative value picture across these 3 into one chart.
The chart uses a z-score to put them on a comparable basis. As we can see, the relative value picture is fairly compelling across these 3 flavors of global equities, and hence my directional bias to be bullish on small vs large, value vs growth, and global ex-US vs US equities.
p.s. the next chart takes it a step further…
Key point: There remains compelling relative value opportunities in global equities.

BONUS CHART!! [because I thought it was just so interesting to look at this one with the previous chart in context, that I couldn’t not share it!]
Global ex-US Small Value vs US Large Growth: This one takes the MSCI ACWI indexes relevant to the previous chart and specifically looks at the relative performance of the MSCI All Countries World Index excluding USA: Small Value, vs MSCI USA Large Growth.
We can see how the collective relative value opportunity from the previous chart emerged (a decade long ~80% drawdown in relative performance)… but also what could be at stake if history repeated (albeit it would be hard to precisely repeat all the myriad macro trends that went on during the 2000’s!!).
Another perspective on it would be that it goes to show how extreme the crowding into US large growth (tech) has been over the past decade — i.e. the flipside.
Key point: An obscure but massive relative bear market looks to have troughed.
