English term or phrase: Reflecting valuation concerns
Hello, I am writing this because the first phrase is difficult to understand.

Does 'Reflecting valuation concerns' in the context below mean that investor expectations for total shareholder return (TSR) remain at historically low level 'because they are concerned about valuations'? I would be very grateful if you could let me know!

Selected answer:because they're worried that the market is overvalued
Explanation:
You need the rest of the article to understand what valuation means. Fortunately, it's online:

Recession fears and **high valuations*** have also undermined investors’ confidence. Two-thirds (67%) believe that markets are ***overvalued***... Among self-described bears in the 2018 survey, nearly two-thirds (64%) cited ***market overvaluation*** as the reason for their pessimism.

An overvalued market is one in which share prices are too high, and don't reflect the underlying value and profitability of the companies concerned.
