Fostering positive change through investments: Generali leverages its role as a key global institutional investor and asset manager to apply strict ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) criteria to the Group’s investments.
Over the past months we developed a set of regression models to obtain indications of relative over- or undervaluation of each European equity sector and equity style vs the broad European index.
The in-house macro-based regression models are set up to provide indications of over- or undervaluation of the underlying index vs the broad European index. These represent a useful tool, complementing a more qualitative assessment and bottom-up analysis.
Among the European equity sectors: financials, health care, energy and utilities look undervalued while industrials, materials and information technology look overvalued.
Among the European equity styles: value is undervalued and growth is overvalued. Large cap as a whole appears to be overvalued, while its value subcomponent is still undervalued. Similarly, small caps look undervalued, with the exception of its growth subcomponent which looks fairly valued.
