Recommendation

A 2016 Boston Consulting Group (BCG) survey of portfolio managers and investment analysts reveals a number of trends. Bearish sentiment is on the rise. Expectations for total returns are modest, investor appetite for dividends and cash payouts has hit its limits, and a desire to see companies use cash to enhance value is growing. getAbstract recommends this short but insightful report to investors and corporate executives seeking a glimpse into how institutional investors view markets and the investment climate.

Take-Aways

  • Bearish sentiment is on the rise, according to a Boston Consulting Group survey of more than 700 investment professionals.
  • Expectations are low for total shareholder returns (TSR) for 2016 through 2018.
  • Respondents believe that buybacks and dividends will account for some 80% of TSR in that time period.
