The $C (-0,06 %) currently recommends the FTSE 100, as it is well suited as a hedge against the risk in the Middle East. This is illustrated by 3 factors.
- The FTSE 100 is driven by energy companies such as $SHEL (+1,73 %) and $BP. (-0,15 %) dominated. These benefit from geopolitical tensions and thus provide a natural hedge.
- The FTSE has a high weighting in defensive sectors such as pharmaceuticals, such as $AZN (+0,48 %) and consumer goods, such as $ULVR (-1,42 %) as. These sectors are historically resilient to geopolitical problems.
- Many companies in the FTSE 100 generate the majority of their sales outside the UK. This makes them less vulnerable to domestic risks and more resilient to global uncertainties.
