瑞銀財管:偏好新興市場股票多於歐洲 尋求「在家概念」及派息股
瑞銀財富管理全球首席投資總監Mark Haefele發表報告指,有跡象顯示新冠病毒在中國以外擴散,風險資產受壓。在面對突如其來沽壓時,投資者應保持長線眼光,透過不同資產分級及全球配置管理風險。考慮中國在圍堵病毒相對成功,該行偏好新興市場股票,同時對歐洲股票更加審慎,主因疫情爆發的潛在經濟衝擊存重大不確定性。
報告表示,隨著疫情在中國以外地區爆發,環球股市下滑,避險資產上揚。意大利確診數字增至215宗,歐洲Stoxx 50指數上日急挫4.2%,南韓確診數字急增至833宗,首爾綜合指數上日跌3.9%。美國標指上日亦跌逾3%。金價急升,歐元兌瑞郎跌至低於1.06,十年期美債收益率跌8點子至1.39%,資金湧入避險資產。同時,歐元對美元則微升,該行相信是由於投資者降風險,致歐元淡倉平倉,及美國聯儲局未來減息預期升溫。
瑞銀財管稱,意大利確診數字急升,大幅增加歐洲消費及營商信心急跌的風險;倘北美未來數日有更多確診數字,亦可能受波及。由於新冠病毒具潛伏期,未來兩星期將是判斷疫情的關鍵,以至各國政府遏止疫情散播的舉措及對經濟的影響。如歐洲及北美仿傚中國「封城」般的進取舉措,這意味將顯著拉低上半年經濟增長,及需要有財政及貨幣政策紓緩,以避免更長期下行。該行稱,現時可見度仍低,而新加坡的例子(89宗確診,沒死亡病例)亦顯示在堅實行動下,疫情可相對較快受控。
該行表示,即使歐洲不確定性加劇,有跡象顯示中國在限制疫情散播取得成功。湖北以外中國新增確診數字很少,將有利經濟活動恢復及讓供應鏈自行修復,與該行基本情境估算相符。該行稱,將持續監測中國經濟的「活」活動指標,包括煤炭消耗、房地產成交,以及春節後外省勞工返城工作,以確認有關趨勢。
瑞銀財管認為,在面對突如其來沽壓時,投資者應保持長線眼光,透過不同資產分級及全球配置管理風險。另不應該忽略其他驅動市場的因素,特別是未來數日以至數周,貨幣、財政及其他政策回應。
該行提出三大策略,協助投資者在不確定性下改善風險回報。第一,偏好新興市場股票多於歐洲股票。該行持續增持新興市場股票,留意到MSCI亞洲(日本除外)股市近期跌勢提供良好長期入市機會。假設中國未來數周成功限制疫情,供應鏈干擾消退,消費信心復甦,以及新冠病毒對經濟及市場影響集中於首季,瑞銀財管預期亞洲(日本除外)股票今年盈利增長料近12%。該行亦認為,亞洲(日本除外)股票估值合理,相當於市帳率1.6倍,較全球同業折讓35%;同時,近期新興市場股票較成熟市場的預測市盈率折讓亦擴至28%,高於五及十年歷史均值。
相反,該行繼續減持歐洲股票。歐洲股票估值相當於未來12個月預測市盈率14.8倍,屬近15年歷史範圍的上端,該行料今年歐洲股票盈利按年收縮1%。而新冠病毒的潛在經濟威脅及圍堵舉措意味額外下行風險。
第二,瑞銀財管認為,應尋求「在家概念」及派息股,避免與旅遊相關股票。以該行亞洲投資框架並應用在歐洲市場,在區內,投資者應避免最受疫情影響的板塊,如航空及酒店;投資「在家概念」股票,如電商、博彩及派餐服務,料在城市出入限制下需求上升。亦留意穩定派息股票,屬相對避險天堂,因為債券收益率急跌。
第三,該行稱,受惠於市場波動。疫情擴散下市場波動加劇,美國恐慌指數升至去年夏季以來最高。波動加劇提升沽出認沽期權的收益,讓投資者從高波動性受惠,並對旗下股票持倉提供保障。倘投資者尋求更大緩衝,可留意結構產品,提升收益率,並提供一定程度的保護。
