increase (buy), reduce (sell) Explanation: You are on the right track. What is tricky with these ratings is that they vary from brokerage to brokerage, and are specifically defined for their use as in this case. This is a case where you should consult the client to ensure that they have not had these terms translated before and have specific English terms they use. They probably do. Sometimes the terms increase and reduce can be used, but a good case could be made for acheter=strong buy, Renforcer=buy, Alléger=hold (or reduce, in reality, hold almost always means 'sell' de facto in the US), and Vendre= sell or strong sell here. Whatever you choose, since you define exactly what they mean, there shouldn't be much of a problem, but I would ask the client because this could accurately be translated different ways. This comes up often in equities analysis commentary translation and sometimes the translations they will have chosen in English are downright goofy. |
