2 THE SHADDEN GROUP Morgan Stanley WEALTH MANAGEMENT The Correction Appears To Be Over As of March 8, 2016 Asset markets re priced risks significantly in January and February and showed signs of capitulation for a correction that began almost a year ago. Many investors are now out of position, which could fuel further upside potential for equities, credit and other assets levered to global growth. Our global rebalancing thesis has withstood a confluence of challenges: China s unpredictable devaluation path and its signal about growth; oil s relentless decline and impact on financial conditions and banks; and investor doubt about the effectiveness of monetary policy from here. Global fundamental factors have deteriorated, but not as much as financial markets have priced. We highlight economic growth/data in the US, commodity prices, industrial company earnings revisions and other leading indicators that suggest global growth is stable and might accelerate from here. What are the key variables to monitor from here: China currency and balance sheet stabilization (already happening). Central banks remain vigilant on financial conditions (ECB, BOJ and FED upcoming meetings in March) Economic data stabilizes and improves from here (US and China better, Europe and Japan weaker) Leadership from cyclical/value sectors, yield curve steepening, commodity/credit stabilization Source: Morgan Stanley Wealth Management GIC.

6 THE SHADDEN GROUP Morgan Stanley WEALTH MANAGEMENT Bottom Line: Our Recommendations As of March 8, 2016 The correction that started last summer is likely over, but markets may need to consolidate for a few more weeks/months until we have clarity on China currency/economic stability, oil s ultimate bottom, the US corporate earnings trough and central bank support for growth especially from the Fed. We continue to recommend equities over fixed income given our constructive 12 month view that is based on avoidance of economic recession, strong central bank/policy support around the world and lower risk of financial contagion in the global banking system than what is feared and getting priced. We also favor alternatives like hedged strategies as a way to mitigate the higher volatility we believe will continue % downside to global equities in our bear case scenario of recession (20% probability). 15%+ upside in our base case scenario (60 70% probability). We prefer a barbell of positioning within equity portfolios consider large cap value stocks and growth stocks trading at reasonable valuations. High momentum (high growth/high valuation) and bond proxy equities remain areas most at risk. We think Japan still in relatively new secular bull market skepticism is still high/valuations low. The broadening out to domestically oriented sectors supports that view. Abe should respond to weakness. Significant stress remains in emerging markets, but that should begin to improve this year. Europe is tied to EM via its exports and banking system but has strong long term valuation support. Near term risks center on German/British politics and banking stability. Draghi/ECB get it and are on the job. Within fixed income, we recommend US only positioning with some exposure to high yield and TIPS as inflation expectations should recover later this year amid better growth and stabilizing oil prices.
