The total return on European equities is low: There will be pressure from shareholders
The total return on European (euro-zone) equities since 1998 has been 8.1% per year on average. This gives a risk premium of 4.7%, which is low given the level of risk related to holding equities. This low total return on European equities will definitely prompt shareholde rs to require a higher remuneration : Either increased dividends; Or share buybacks that return the massive amounts of cash held by euro-zone companies to shareholders .
