Over the past five years, the returns have been even higher at 15.75% (in dollars, S&amp;P 500, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.officialdata.org\/us\/stocks\/s-p-500\/\">Shiller Data<\/a>). The recent performance of the US markets has sparked debate over whether historically high returns can be considered normal in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Many experts have warned <\/strong>that the assumption of continued outperformance is based on historical anomalies and may not be sustainable in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The current valuation levels of the US markets (2024) are historically exceptionally high, suggesting that future expected returns may be significantly more modest.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Elevated valuation levels have also been identified at Sifter. The weight of North American companies in the Sifter portfolio has decreased by 18 percentage points over the past 8 years and US-listed companies account for 44%, and Canadian companies for 5% as of 31.5.2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d92ad66f31a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d92ad66f31a\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large graafi wp-lightbox-container\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"595\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/sifterfund.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sifter-fund-geographical-allocations-change-2017-2024-1024x595.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sifterfund.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sifter-fund-geographical-allocations-change-2017-2024-1024x595.png 1024w, https:\/\/sifterfund.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sifter-fund-geographical-allocations-change-2017-2024-500x291.png 500w, https:\/\/sifterfund.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sifter-fund-geographical-allocations-change-2017-2024-768x446.png 768w, https:\/\/sifterfund.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sifter-fund-geographical-allocations-change-2017-2024.png 1413w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sifter has reduced the proportion of American companies in its portfolio because their valuations relative to future growth expectations have been too high (2017-2024).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The high valuation levels in the United States are a result of the market\u2019s learning process, where investors have become accustomed to viewing the U.S. stock market as a \u201csafe haven,\u201d thereby lowering return expectations and raising valuations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, high valuation levels might pose risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Valuation levels guide Sifter\u2019s allocations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The allocations of the Sifter Fund are the result of a disciplined investment strategy<\/strong>, and we do not take a stance on the size of our individual country exposures. However, we have a blacklist of countries in which we do not invest. The blacklist consists mainly of countries where investor protection and access to reliable information are weak. These are for example China, Russia and many other emerging markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is most important for us to invest and own highly quality companies whose business results and risks are predictable and balanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>When a company\u2019s valuation becomes too high, it typically means that the stock has been loaded with excessive expectations, which can increase investor risks.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Sifter\u2019s companies are ranked in internal order based on five year earnings yield. When a company\u2019s earnings forecast weakens, it falls down the list and leads to reduction or sale of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Over the last eight years (2017-2024), the weight of North America has decreased by 18 percentage points in the Sifter portfolio. The primary reason for this reduction has been that we have found companies in other geographical regions with a lower valuations and a more attractive risk-return profile.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Stock selection based on geographical location is not a guarantee of future returns or lower risks \u2013 they indicate where our funds are invested and where the company\u2019s headquarters are located.

Owning a collection of good engines provides protection in different market environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>If a company\u2019s revenue model is based on projects or demand is cyclical, the company\u2019s profitability and financial position are exposed to excessive risks.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe it is safer to own companies whose cash flows consist of recurring reveue streams and products are critical for their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The qualitative characteristics of a company can be evaluated from several perspectives. Often, a quality company\u2019s business is protected by high barriers to entry, patents, and strong competitive advantages. In our opinion, a resilient business model provides solid risk diversification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diversification is more than just a precautionary principle \u2013 it is a necessary strategy for long-term investors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Harry Markowitz\u2019s<\/strong> famous quote, \u201cdiversification is the only free lunch,\u201d remains extremely relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diversification allows investors not only potentially higher returns but also lower risk when investments are spread across multiple markets and asset classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Historical evidence and current research support the idea that investors should not rely solely on consistently high returns from a single stock market.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, international diversification provides a path to exploit global growth opportunities and protect against regional market volatility or prolonged downturns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Economic and political events can quickly change market dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Japan\u2019s long-term stagnation since the 1990s and the European economic crises demonstrate how market-specific risks can significantly undermine investment returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>International diversification is a necessary strategy for long-term investors \u2013 it reduces the risks of individual markets and provides access to global growth opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Historical returns of the US stock market have been high, but there is no guarantee that the same trend will continue in the future.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High valuation levels in the United States indicate that future expected returns may be more modest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Investor risks increase when stock prices are loaded with excessive expectations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Riku Pennanen<\/strong><br>Relationship Manager<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The current valuation levels of the US markets (2024) are historically exceptionally high, suggesting that future expected returns may be significantly more modest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":14898,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diversification"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>U.S. Stock Markets: Can high returns be considered a permanent phenomenon?
