Key Points
- Value continues to look attractive globally relative to Growth. In the U.S., there is a special opportunity in Deep Value stocks.
- Globally, Value is priced to outperform Growth significantly if valuations return to median.
- Within the U.S., we believe the most attractive group of stocks is one that most portfolios may not have much exposure to – the cheapest quintile or “Deep” Value. After the longest cycle in which Growth massively outperformed Value, many portfolios dropped their underperforming Value managers, and those that hung on leaned a bit less on Value to survive.
- The GMO Asset Allocation team uses the Equity Dislocation and U.S. Opportunistic Value Strategies across their portfolios to gain targeted exposure to these attractive investment opportunities.
Within the U.S., “Deep Value” segment (cheapest 20%) is truly dislocated
