What's not insignificant is that the people running it have had the best returns on investment for the last 10 and 20 years.
They know what they're talking about and have a 2-decade track record, and they're switching out of US investments and into European ones.

lol there are plenty of large hedge funds with better returns than them. Meanwhile, yeah US equities are up like 4X since Covid while Europe is not even half that. Obviously one side has lagged and therefore has potential

That's a bit dramatic, they've seen an uptick 2.5% on EU equities and down 3.5% on US stocks

Yes it is. You need to amend what you said:
the people running it have had the best returns on investment for the last 10 and 20 years for a sovereign wealth fund
Go move to the US, rent a garage and say you’re making AI out of it, and you’ll have more money thrown at you than these guys manage. This is peanuts

I Don’t blame them good move. TRUMP is going to take over the federal reserve and the control of interest rates so the US can no longer be relied on

Well. Almost all fund houses have US underperforming in their long term capital market assumptions. So it’s not a surprise

"Their investment position centres on a view that European equities — measured by the Stoxx Europe 600 index — are currently priced below their “fair value”, while US stocks are priced above that level and at some point in the next decade will give up that premium"
