Calamos Releases Quarterly Economic Review and Outlook - Q2, 2011
- Measured Global Economic Growth and Market Volatility Require Investment Selectivity
NAPERVILLE, Ill. and LONDON, July 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Calamos Investments, a global investment management firm, released its quarterly Economic Review and Outlook. Calamos' Co-Chief Investment Officers, John P. Calamos, Sr and Nick P. Calamos provide their views on the current economic environment and discuss factors which may affect the global markets as well as investing opportunities and risks. Calamos invites you to read the entire Economic Review and Outlook at Calamos.com/Outlook. Select topics include the following:
| |
We expect measured global economic growth and continued volatility in global markets with a double-dip recession unlikely in the near term. The aggressive rotation in the equity market from cyclical sectors to more stable, lower-risk, less cyclical sectors have historically foretold of a slowdown, not recession. We closely monitor the regional and country fiscal and monetary challenges for differing implications for growth and markets. | |
| |
Valuations in the developed market equities, most notably within the United States, remain especially attractive relative to bonds and direct commodity investments. We believe that access to cheap capital, robust corporate cash and good profit margins should support equity prices in the near term. | |
| |
Looking beyond near-term volatility, long-term secular themes including the growing prosperity of the emerging markets, a competitive global marketplace, productivity enhancements, connectivity to information, and infrastructure build-out are creating opportunities for companies all around the world. We are finding a robust investment opportunity set in many regions and markets. | |
