Global Equities VOLATILITY, UNCERTAINTY AND THE AGING BULL Laurence Taylor Global Equity Portfolio Specialist 2 February 2017 For investment professionals only. Not for further distribution.

Outlook Summary As at 31 December 2016 Equity market sentiment has become increasingly unstable as the bull market has matured with big macro having an exaggerated influence on markets in 2016. While the global economy is wrestling with structural change, cyclical earnings trends are improving which should prolong the equity cycle. Selectivity is critical given raised expectations. Political uncertainty and popular protest have become mainstream as economic inequality has been called into question. Fiscal stimulus is one potential outcome, dis-functional politics another. Emerging market equity fundamentals are as dispersed as ever. EMlisted stocks delivering long-term growth should regain/retain a premium, especially if growth-oriented policy in DM s disappoints. Reasonable valuations, modest global profit growth and solid balance sheets should provide support to global equities. It is important to temper return expectations however. 15

The Equity Cycle and the Fork in the Road As of 31 December 2016 Market participants are being increasingly drawn into two very different outlook camps and markets are reacting to this backdrop of elevated uncertainty and complexity. We would agree that we at a crucial juncture for equity markets. Corporate profits have been weak and a continuation of this trend is a potential cycleending risk. We believe the U.S. economy remains fundamentally sound while we still see an uneven, but stable developed market economic backdrop elsewhere. As monetary policy reaches its limit of influence, easier fiscal conditions are being considered in Japan, the U.K. and the U.S. This may boost near term growth if debt is allowed to rise, but structural issues remain a headwind. Our central scenario for the global economy should ultimately show itself in rising demand, production and corporate profits growth, if afforded room to mature. Set against a backdrop of reasonable valuations, this should create a foundation for modest upside for global equities. 37
