Low was in New Zealand recently to discuss the current market and on forecasting future returns when picking global stocks.
He says markets are in "a very interesting stage" at the moment with the US increasing interest rates, however he is not bearish.
"Equities is a great place to be," he told Good Returns TV.
Since the global financial crisis 10 years ago much of the gains in equities have come from quantative easing and the resulting rise in asset prices.
Now the the US is increasing interest rates and heading into a period of quantitative tightening "valuation gains as a source of excess returns less likely," he says.
