1 The Current Risk Landscape Axioma Insight Findings Melissa R. Brown, CFA
2 About Axioma Axioma provides portfolio construction, risk modeling and performance attribution tools to asset managers and asset owners We use risk data to assess and explain the environment in which managers are investing Today we will discuss some of the findings and insights about the market landscape from our risk models First, a quick review of the nature of the risk models 2
3 Risk Risk (Financial) Expected volatility (of a market, portfolio, etc.) over a predefined investment horizon Risk Management The process of identification, analysis and either acceptance or mitigation of uncertainty in investment decision-making Investopedia 3
4 Axioma Risk Models Axioma s standard product includes 4 risk models per region By horizon Short horizon: 1 to 2 month forecast Medium horizon: 3 to 6 month forecast By factor structure Fundamental: uses predefined set of factors, such as country, industry, currency, style Statistical: lets the data speak Models are provided for 14 countries/regions/global In addition, there is a macroeconomic model for the US Underlying each model is a set of volatilities and correlations, so we can peel the onion and see what is driving market risk Major components: Market, Industry, Style, Country, Currency, Stock Specific 4
5 2014 Review Equity risk fell from February through mid-september 2014 in most regions, but then staged a sudden and substantial turnaround Risk was up across the board The biggest increases were in China and Japan Aggregate country, currency, style, industry and market risk all rose Almost all countries saw big volatility increases The differences between countries risk grew larger Canada saw the biggest increase of any developed country Most individual currencies saw risk increase as well Correlations remained low, but increased from recent bottoms Higher asset correlations had a large impact on risk Emerging market risk remained low relative to developed market US small cap risk relative to large-cap peaked in July, then tumbled Energy risk soared, even as weight fell
6 2015 Themes The increase in risk has abated, but has not reversed appreciably Currency risk continued to increase Market and country risk have flattened Risk up sharply in most developed currencies, mixed for emerging CAD increase relative to USD second only to CHF Small-cap relative to large-cap risk still low Emerging relative to developed still low Energy risk remains elevated, although it has leveled off Asset dispersion has increased good for stock pickers! Canada s factor performance has been different from other markets Understanding the changing components of risk is quite important for asset managers! 6

40 Summary: Major Findings Risk rose last year, in some cases doubling from low levels reached last fall. Markets have been calmer this year, and risk changes have been much smaller Increases in volatility were driven by a number of factors Will economies slow in in Europe, China, Japan? Will euro be broken up? Will oil continue to tumble? Will we see deflation, especially in Europe? Etc. For a global benchmark market, country and currency risk all rose last year, and remain elevated The stronger US dollar meant volatility of most currencies relative to USD increased sharply in Q4, and into this year Despite the widespread increases currency correlations actually fell Individual country volatility changes were mixed but some rose substantially Momentum had some very difficult days in February, especially in the US, Canada and Europe. Returns have settled down since then. Canada has seen streaks of unusually good or bad performance (sometimes both) in Value, Leverage, Growth, and Liquidity 40
41 Summary: Major Findings In the US, after a peak in relative volatility in July, small-cap stocks have fallen to low volatility levels relative to large-cap. Emerging market risk stayed low relative to developed. Canada s risk has risen quite a bit relative to that in other markets Energy stock risk experienced a sudden and steep increase, and energy correlations with other factors have changed substantially. Bond yields and CDS spreads generally remained stable or fell 41
42 Summary: Implications for Portfolio Managers 2014 was a tough year for active management. A low-risk environment may have truncated opportunities. Flip-flopping factor performance meant a difficult environment for factorbased managers as well. While volatility has gone up since the fall, driving risk up, the impact of asset correlations has also been surprisingly high in some regions. Correlations (especially currency and style factor) have changed substantially in many markets. Factor volatility rose in many cases (but remains low relative to longer history). Changes in the components of risk (correlations, volatility, and specific factors like energy, emerging vs. developed, and currency markets) suggest it may be a good time for portfolio managers to reevaluate their portfolios sources of risk. Increasing differentiation in risk and potential reward may be good for active managers who are able to effectively sort the winners from the losers. Scaling bets appropriately, as always, will be key. 42
