1 MacroResearchBoard partners Independent Investment Strategy Misconceptions, Reality and Investment Strategy Presented by Peter Perkins Peter Perkins Partner, Global Strategy April 2017
2 Main Themes m Debt is elevated, but is misunderstood and likely won t be the catalyst for the next crisis (it s usually overestimating demand) m There are many unusual aspects to this cycle, as well as misconceptions m The global economy is rife with structural imbalances, with Switzerland being a prime example m Investors either appear too pessimistic about the future or too optimistic; somewhere in between is probable 2
3 Yes, Debt Levels Are High By Historical Standards 160 Global: Credit to Nonfinancial Institutions* (US$ tn) Share of GDP (%) MRB Partners Inc 04/2017 MRB Partners Inc 04/ * Source: Bank for International Settlements

5 The Debt Problem m Too much debt might be a problem m But it is not the biggest problem m Nor the most immediate one m Who owes the debt is as important in determining risk as how much is owed m Solving the debt problem requires stronger nominal GDP, both now and in the future m As well as longer-term changes to our health care and pension systems m The latter without the former will not be enough m You can t cut your way out of your debt problem, or into health 5
6 Misconceptions About The Global Economy m Misconception: Debtor nations haven t adjusted much Reality: Greece s national saving rate has risen by 15% of GDP since 2007; Spain s by 12% m Misconception: Rise in total debt has jeopardized the global economy Reality: It prevented a depression and allowed a recovery m Misconception: Hyper-accommodative monetary policy has created major risks Reality: It has prevented misguided fiscal policies from exacerbating economic problems m Misconception: Economic adjustment is primarily the responsibility of debtors; Reality: Debtors can t adjust if creditors don t 6
7 Many Debtor Countries Have Adjusted A Lot Change In Saving Rate (% Of GDP) Private Sector Public Sector National Private Sector Public Sector National Private Sector Public Sector National Germany Greece Ireland* Italy Portugal Spain Switzerland U.K U.S * Reflects government bailout of banks 7
8 De-Synchronized Cycles m The capital markets cycle is advanced relative to the economic cycle m Economic cycles have been more desynchronized across countries/regions than normal m The policy cycle has lagged the economic cycle by an abnormal amount to offset household de-leveraging, fiscal drag 8
9 Easy Fed Policy Has Brought Forward Capital Markets Cycle 8 U.S.: Federal Funds Rate (%) Talyor Rule* (%) Nominal GDP (%YoY) Minus Federal Funds Rate (%) 0-4 MRB Partners Inc 04/ * MRB calculation 9
10 The Government Has Been A Drag On U.S. Growth U.S. Real Government Consumption & Investment (% 5-Year CAGR) 4 3 Usually a source of growth MRB Partners Inc 04/ Note: Compound annual growth rate 10
11 Economic Realities & Problems m There are chronic current account surplus and deficit countries, reflecting structural problems and lack of adjustment m Free capital flows appear incompatible with stable exchange rates, yet most countries want both (impossible trinity) m Central banks have multiple targets, with too few tools m EM countries are net global lenders, yet with higher domestic growth rates m EM countries have built a massive FX war chest, but are punished if they use them m There are debtor prisons (e.g Greece) 11
12 Chronic, Large Trade Imbalances Signal Structural Problems m Large current account deficits Australia (4.4% of GDP avg since 2000), Greece (7.5% avg). U.K. (3%), U.S. (3.7%) m Large current account surpluses Singapore (19% avg!), Norway (12%), Switzerland (11% avg!), Taiwan (9% avg), Germany (5% avg), China (4%), Japan (3% avg) Switzerland has had a current account surplus each of the past 35 years! m Policies and prices are not adjusting to correct global trade imbalances 12
13 Singapore & Switzerland: Structural Surpluses Current Account Balance* (% of GDP): Switzerland Singapore MRB Partners Inc 04/ * Source: IMF 13
14 Is Secular Stagnation The Right Diagnosis? m U.S. de-leveraging dampened growth, but appears over m Euro area debt crisis/recession in was a political choice, not a secular force m Government has subtracted from growth this cycle, having boosted growth in the past (again, this was a political choice) m Depressed animal spirits rather than cost of capital, profitability or other factors is inhibiting private investment; there is no definitive shortage of potential investment opportunities m Low productivity growth is a measured fact, but few if any know what will drive it 14

17 The Equity Risk Premium Is High 6 MRB Global Cyclically-Adjusted Equity Risk Premium* (%) Valuation cushion for stocks MRB Partners Inc 04/ * Cyclically-adjusted earnings yield minus G7 10-year government bond yield; normalized for the ROE cycle 17
18 Moderately Positive Cyclical Outlook For Risk Assets m Firmer global growth, plus prospects for U.S. fiscal support m Rising corporate profits following profits recession m Valuations don t drive equity market performance on a 1-2 year horizon m Stocks have a valuation cushion versus bonds, although corrections likely as Fed hikes m Moderate returns on equities, losses on bonds imply poor aggregate portfolio returns m Commodities, alternatives unlikely to significantly enhance performance 18
19 Capital Markets Cycle: More Normal Than Believed 200 Global Stock / Bond Ratio* Peaks just ahead of recessions 100 Real Stock Total Return** Real Bond Total Return** MRB Partners Inc 04/ * Global MSCI stock market total return index divided by 10-year global government bond total return index; rebased ** Deflated by OECD G7 CPI; rebased Note: Shaded for NBER-designated U.S. recessions 19

22 Conclusions m Our over-emphasis on debt has been misplaced attention should be focused on growth-boosting measures and longer-term re-balancing m The global economy has a number of structural problems, including the failure of creditor/surplus countries to allow adjustment m The capital markets cycle will only expire when the global economy is verging on recession, which is not on the immediate horizon m Long-term returns for major asset classes will be low, primarily because the 35-year decline in discount rates is behind us 22
