    Balanced approach warranted by lack of visibility

    The collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank, the 16th largest bank in the United States, triggered a shockwave through financial markets.

    Despite a fairly significant rally beginning in October, European equity markets, battered by major outflows since the start of the crisis in Ukraine, recorded a correction over the year 2022 (-9.5%). Although European equities finished the year on a relative outperformance compared with the United States (-13.4%) and emerging markets (-15.1%)1, the year was still a source of concern for investors, who are now asking questions about what may arise in 2023.
