S&P Dow Jones Indices Europe Dashboard

• European equity markets suffered this month and this quarter as surging volatility weighed on returns. 
• As might be expected, the more defensive strategies and market segments outperformed. Among S&P Europe 350® sectors, Consumer Discretionary led this quarter. Among equity strategies, Enhanced Value, Quality and Low Volatility were the leaders. 
• The emergence of trade barriers between the U.S. and China in particular, and the greater likelihood of tariffs globally, soured sentiment for Europe’s major exporters.
