In this episode, the group discuss recent outperformance in European equities - and particularly outperformance in European large caps, via SX5E Index.   They run through the fundamental rationale for the European equity rally YTD, the extent to which Hedge Funds and other investors have bought into the rally, and resulting positioning levels and crowding in European stocks.  They also discuss pockets within Europe which appear more stretched on valuation and positioning metrics, vs pockets with more opportunity.  Daniel Landau, from the Positioning Intelligence team, is in discussion with Eloise Goulder, Head of the Global Data Assets & Alpha Group.
