Dutch term

onderwegen

Dutch to English Bus/Financial Investment / Securities
De zin: "De macro-economische visie bepaalt welke regio’s wij op welk moment eventueel over- of onderwegen."

overwegen t.o.v. onderwegen is een speciaal geval, heeft niets te maken met "consideration" zeg maar.

Definities (volgens AEGON):

Overwegen = Meer beleggen in een aandeel, sector of land dan volgens de index of benchmark normaal zou zijn.

Onderwegen = Minder in een aandeel, sector of land beleggen dan volgens de index of benchmark normaal zou zijn.

Het juiste beleggingsjargon in 't Engels schiet me net niet te binnen.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Erik Brinkhof

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

underweight

Dit wordt gewoonlijk aangeduid met 'underweight' of, in het geval van 'overwegen', met 'overweight'. Eventueel ook 'take an underweight position in (...)'.

In sector rotation, rather than individual asset classes, the investors will allocate funds to different sectors depending on their short-term views. The investor will overweight those sectors that he or she believes will outperform and underweight those he or she believes will underperform.

Underweight
Exposure of a specific asset (or asset class ) which is lower than the proportion it represents in the market index or benchmark against which the portfolio is measured. Investment managers may take underweight positions in shares or sectors they expect to underperform in order to add value to the portfolio.

adopt an underweight outlook/underweight rating

See e.g.

Finance and investment is not one of my main fields of translation, hence the lack of confidence.
