Oddo BHF: we avoid hyper-growth stocks

“Focus on quality. Anticipate four structural trends that will dominate our lives in the years to come. Hyper-growth stocks are not recommended at this time because of the sharp rise in valuations. And be cautious about equity and bond markets.”

This is the message from Jan Viebig, Chief Investment Officer of Oddo BHF AG, who said that he is pleased that the four multi-asset funds in the Polaris range are now available on the Belgian market.
