Société Générale Research Hub
Finvaulta tracks 62 research reports on Société Générale, updated through September 4, 2026. Latest: “Credit Strategy Outlook: Rolling with the Punches II”.
Société Générale’s Spring 2026 Investor Sentiment Survey highlights a clear preference among institutional allocators for specific investment strategies amidst shifting market dynamics. According to data from 486 respondents across 310 firms, Discretionary Global Macro has emerged as the most sought-after strategy for the period. Interest also remains robust for Commodities and Equity Market Neutral approaches, suggesting a continued institutional focus on diversification and non-correlated returns. Conversely, the research indicates a cooling of interest in Systematic Multi-Strategy and ESG-focused allocations, both of which have seen notable declines in sentiment. Geographically, the survey identifies a significant structural shift in the Americas, where nearly half of the respondents now prefer Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) over traditional commingled funds. These findings collectively suggest that investors are increasingly prioritizing transparency and macroeconomic positioning in their portfolio construction.

Credit Strategy Outlook: Rolling with the Punches II

Commodity Monthly Review
The Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) advanced 7.1% in August 2026 (+28.9% YTD) to 141.4, driven by broad gains across softs (+14.1%), grains (+13.7%), precious metals (+10.1%), and energy (+5.2%). Severe supply-side constraints, logistical and geopolitical disruptions in Hormuz and the Black Sea, and weather-driven crop yield cuts offset mixed demand, while livestock (-4.8%) was the sole declining sector.
Global Equity Market Arithmetic: Despite the Spending US Corporate Cash Piles Are Back to Record Highs
Despite record capital expenditure driven primarily by the top eight AI companies, US corporate cash balances across the S&P 1500 non-financials have reached record highs. This liquidity cushion is supported by robust operating cash generation and heavy debt issuance, keeping the corporate spending cycle resilient against elevated bond yields.
FI Outlook: Inflation Goes to Extra Time

Global Equity Market Arithmetic: Surging and Broad-Based Profit Growth Continues to Support Equities
