5 Tax Cuts: Two Sides of Every Story Faster Growth Larger Deficits Source: Strategas Largest tax cuts since the 1981 Regan tax cuts will provide a cyclical boost to the economy & corporate profits Source: Ned Davis research Tax cuts have consistently led to larger deficits, which already look troublesome. Large deficits are dollar negative. Data as of 12/31/17 January 8, of 10

Source: Hefren-Tillotson, Ned Davis Research Data as of 12/31/17 January 8, of 10
9 Regime Shift Playbook Favorite Investment Strategies Stocks & hybrid strategies over bonds Value over growth Comments While expensive on an absolute basis, stock earnings yields (earnings divided by share price) remain attractive relative to bonds Growth stocks appear expensive, over-owned, and carry high expectations Economically sensitive sectors such as financials and industrials Short duration strategies and premium bonds with higher yields Inflation-linked bond funds Large caps over small caps International developed and emerging markets Benefit from improving global growth; Financials performance correlated with interest rates and should strengthen if rates rise; Industrials benefit from rising capital spending Benefit from tighter Fed policy; hedge against possibility of higher interest rates/inflation Attractively valued relative to nominal bonds; hedge against possibility of higher inflation Any rally in small caps as a result of tax cuts should be viewed as temporary; best buying opportunity for small caps will be in the next recession/bear market Markets are earlier in economic cycle; cheaper valuations; more exposed to improving global growth dynamics January 8, of 10
10 Summary Accelerating economic growth in a prolonged expansion Tax cuts to provide a cyclical boost to economy & profits, but also deficits Inflation to move into focus Expect more modest returns and a pick-up in volatility Expect a shift in market leadership away from former leaders: U.S. stocks, FANGS and Growth, long-term treasuries, dividend-payers and low volatility strategies, U.S. dollar Favor international stocks, value, short-duration, inflation-linked bonds, economically sensitive sectors (financials & industrials) January 8, of 10
