Capital Group insights
Global equity markets are broadening, creating opportunities across styles, geographies and market caps. This environment favors active management and a balanced approach to growth and value, U.S. and international.
AI and a renewed capex cycle offer growth potential. International markets are gaining momentum and dividend-paying companies stand out for their potential resilience and contribution to returns, especially as rates normalize and growth moderates.
Success requires deep research. With nine investment offices and over 20,000 company meetings last year, Capital Group is built to thrive in this environment.
