3 surprising market winners in 2025
- European stocks, Latin American markets, and global real estate investment trusts emerged as surprising market winners in 2025 amid a dynamic investing environment.
- This performance followed years of prior underperformance for Europe and sharp losses in Latin America during 2024, while AI stocks slumped amid tariff-related volatility.
- Europe benefited from easing interest rates by the European Central Bank and Bank of England, military self-sufficiency initiatives, and a weakening US dollar that amplified gains for unhedged investors.
- Morningstar's Latin American equities index rose over 22% in 2025, driven by Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile, while global REITs posted double-digit gains outside the US amid falling rates.
- These market shifts suggest diversification across geography and asset classes remains essential as contrarian bets in underperforming regions take time to pay off but can yield significant returns.
