Growth stocks have been hit hard by a combination of rising rates and forecasts of an impending recession. But rather than pivoting toward an entirely defensive portfolio, Citi says investors might do better with a portfolio of stocks ranked high for value, growth and defensiveness simultaneously.
The Citi analysts said they screened the MSCI World index of 1,500 stocks for companies in the top quantiles for growth, low risk and quality simultaneously. In defining "quality," the bank considered metrics such as earnings certainty, rising profit margins and debt level, among others. While five of their picks had negative returns this year, the London Stock Exchange stood out for beating the FTSE 100 handsomely.
