James Athey of Marlborough Investment Management has shared his concerns about the uncertainty of the French elections, stressing the difficulty of predicting a positive and stable outcome. In his view, the possible accession to power of extreme parties, both right and left, poses a threat to the stability of European markets.

He describes an economic situation in difficulty, with a growing deficit and high unemployment, factors which increase the risk for investors exposed to French assets.
