Eminent speaker: Russell Napier - The mean reversion of equity valuation

Wednesday 05 May 2021 | 18:00 - 19:00 | Eminent Speaker Series, Webinar

This event has been organised by CFA UK's Value Investing Special Interest Group. For more information on how to join the SIG click here. 

From 1881 to 1995, the US cyclically adjusted PE ratio and was subject to mean reversion. Since 1995, this key measure of equity valuation appears to have moved onto a permanently higher plateau. In this webinar, Russell Napier, FSIP, analyses the key drivers of equity valuation mean reversion.

• What are the key forces that drive equity valuations to both extreme highs and extreme lows?
• How quickly might we expect such mean reversion to occur?
• What explains the seeming permanent shift to a higher range of equity valuations post 1995?
• Are the forces that have pushed equity valuations to their current higher levels truly structural in nature or have we been in a very long cycle which is about to reverse?
