About markets during covid-19 crisis....

"Während auf den Aktienmärkten eher selektiv überhöhte Bewertungen festzustellen sind, können die globalen Staatsanleihemärkte als in der Breite überbewertet angesehen werden.
In der Gesamtsicht liegt es nahe, Aktien gegenüber Anleihen weiterhin überzugewichten, wenn auch Vorsicht angebracht bleibt.

Explanation:
What Is Overweight?
An overweight investment is an asset or industry sector that comprises a higher-than-normal percentage of a portfolio or an index. An investor might choose to devote a greater portion of the portfolio to a sector that seems particularly promising, or an investor might go overweight on defensive stocks and bonds at a time when prices are volatile.

neutral  Steffen Walter: Your answer would apply to "überbewerten" (überbewertet = overrated/overvalued) but not "übergewichten".

Reference: overweight as a verb

Reference information:
In support of Lancashireman’s answer, overweight can also be used as a verb.

By contrast, assessing when to overweight equities and other risky assets versus policy is not an exact science.
