Investors are increasingly moving funds into European assets, diversifying away from the US in a reaction to the market turbulence created by President Donald Trump, according to Euroclear Chief Executive Officer Valerie Urbain.

“As far as the clients are concerned — including from China, from the Middle East, from the Asia-Pacific — we’ve seen throughout 2025 a growing diversification of investment away from the US,” Urbain said in a Wednesday interview with Bloomberg. There’s “a growing interest in diversifying investment portfolios” into European assets, she said.
