The Zhitong Finance App learned that BlackRock (BlackRock), the world's largest asset management company, noticed that in places such as Japan, China, and the United Kingdom, the current valuation of global stock markets is relatively attractive, and there are some notable opportunities.

BlackRock emphasized that it is still increasing its holdings in Japanese stocks. “The (Japan) macro outlook is getting brighter, and corporate reforms are driving improvements in corporate profits and shareholder returns,” the company said.

The financial institution also maintained an increasing attitude towards the UK market, but it was also accompanied by some concerns. “We are increasing our holdings of British stocks, but our confidence has declined as the UK economy stagnates and the new government is about to announce the budget.”

China is another market that BlackRock is concerned about because there are signs that China is about to introduce major fiscal policy stimulus measures. BlackRock said it will “moderately increase” its holdings in Chinese stocks, while still keeping an eye on long-term structural challenges.

Investors looking to expand markets outside of US stocks can focus on exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that focus on specific countries. Although BlackRock did not mention a specific name, some financial media have compiled a list of potential investment options, including exposure to Japan, the United Kingdom, and China.
