Getting Ready for the “European Kill Switch”

The conversation centers on international stock outperformance, particularly in Europe, and the potential for a shift away from reliance on U.S. technology and policy. Matthew Tuttle, CEO and chief investment officer of Tuttle Capital Management, argues that investors are missing the thematic opportunities within international markets, such as digital sovereignty and defense. He highlights the "Eurostack" concept—a European-controlled tech stack—and identifies companies like Capgemini, Deutsche Telekom, and SES as potential beneficiaries. Tuttle also touches on China's role in AI and robotics, suggesting focused investments in these areas rather than broad China ETFs. He emphasizes the importance of thematic investing and identifying winners in emerging markets, beyond just the popular AI plays.
