- The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a demand-driven economic shock that will likely drag the world into a recession if not contained within the next few months.
- Private equity funds are better positioned than public equities to weather an economic downturn due to their illiquid nature and longer-term investment horizons. However, private equity dealmaking may slow significantly as face-to-face interactions are important but now difficult.
- While private equity returns will be impacted, past downturns show they fall less than public equities, and distressed periods also create opportunities for specialist private equity strategies.
In search of yield market perspectives september 2012Rankia
The document discusses how investors are searching for yield in a low interest rate environment. It notes that while yields are low globally, equity dividend yields remain relatively high compared to historical standards and fixed income alternatives. Specifically, developed international markets and select emerging markets offer reasonably valued markets with attractive dividend yields above 3%. While dividend paying equities present opportunities, some defensive sectors like US utilities appear overvalued given their popularity for yield seeking investors. The document recommends considering reasonably valued international markets and sectors like energy that offer both yield and potential upside.
The fund manager discusses how the Macquarie Income Opportunities Fund navigated volatile market conditions over the past year by taking several defensive steps: 1) It significantly reduced credit risk by exiting high yield and emerging markets, 2) It increased physical cash levels to preserve liquidity, and 3) It added interest rate duration to the fund as a hedge. These actions helped preserve investors' capital. Now that credit spreads have widened further, the manager believes the fund is well positioned to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities.

11 eaton vance volatility - the black widow returns123jumpad
Richard Bernstein warns that investors are again ignoring the risks of income investing strategies during a period of global credit deflation. He notes that high-yielding assets like MLPs, REITs, and emerging market debt have historically underperformed and faced higher risks during credit downturns. However, many investors continue to view them as "safe" or "opportunistic" despite abnormally high yields often indicating hidden risks. Bernstein argues sustainability of dividends and cash flows is more important than yield alone during the ongoing deflation of the global credit bubble. His portfolios focus on fundamentals suggesting continued dividend payments rather than stretching for income.

OFIP Q2 2010 - Security In An Insecure Worldbwoyat
Brent Woyat discusses principles of value investing outlined by Benjamin Graham in a 1963 talk titled "Securities in an Insecure World". Graham emphasized 3 principles: 1) Only invest amounts you can tolerate fluctuations in, 2) Paying a reasonable price is key, 3) Maintain a long-term focus and sticking to a plan. Woyat applies these principles in discussing recent market volatility and positioning portfolios defensively with sectors like consumer staples that benefit from economic slowdowns while maintaining a long-term bullish outlook. Portfolio returns remained respectable despite recent market declines.

The document discusses how investors should allocate to different credit asset classes in the current market environment. It notes that different credit sub-asset classes perform better in different market cycles, with some benefiting from growth periods while others protect capital during downturns. Recently, high yield bonds have seen strong returns but spreads are now close to fair value, so a more dynamic approach across credit quality and regions may be better. Carefully selected absolute return, credit relative value, and multi-class credit strategies could add value going forward.
1) Asset allocation involves dividing investments among different asset classes like stocks, bonds, and cash equivalents to gain exposure to rotating market leaders and help reduce volatility.
2) Maintaining a balanced mix of assets tailored to an individual's goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance can potentially increase returns compared to holding single assets.
3) Asset allocation strategies need periodic rebalancing to maintain the intended risk level as market conditions and individual circumstances change over time.

Does your portfolio have adequate diversification? The five-year bull market in equities has been breathtaking, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining more than 150% since the Great Recession. So, it’s easy to forget that in the last 15 years investors in stocks have suffered two major
setbacks: a decline of 38% after the Internet Bubble collapsed in 2001, and an even bigger crash of 54% following the start of the Financial Crisis in 2008. With

Journal- The Pension Risk Management Framework Redington
This document introduces Redington's Pension Risk Management Framework (PRMF) for managing risks in defined benefit pension schemes. Recent economic conditions like falling equity markets, declining interest rates, resilient inflation, and increasing longevity have significantly worsened funding positions of UK pension schemes. Effective risk management is important for trustees and sponsors to address rising deficits and market volatility. The PRMF requires stakeholders to agree key objectives and constraints, ensure realistic plans in light of risk budgets, and provide clear actions when outcomes diverge from funding plans. It aims to minimize sponsor contributions and risk of benefit cuts for members by balancing objectives of different stakeholders.

If you understand the difference between a temporary decline and a permanent loss, then you have a leg up on many investors. Unlike temporary declines, permanent losses have a real impact on your portfolio. Permanent losses are losses that cannot be recovered ... when you get out at the low point and the markets recover afterwards.

The document discusses the economic outlook for 2010, noting that while markets are expected to perform well initially due to policy "tailwinds", challenges are anticipated in the second half of the year as these tailwinds fade or become headwinds. It recommends overweighting stocks, cyclical sectors, and emerging markets initially, but becoming more defensive later in 2010.
The document provides a 10-year snapshot of annual total returns for various asset classes from 2006 to 2015. It shows that diversification across asset classes can help manage volatility in changing markets, as the best and worst performing asset classes varied significantly from year to year. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results, and diversification does not ensure profits or prevent losses.
The quarterly market review summarizes market performance in the first quarter of 2013. Global markets posted modest gains, with U.S. stocks outperforming international markets. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average reached new all-time highs. Ten-year returns remain positive across most asset classes and geographic regions, reinforcing the benefits of diversification and long-term investing.
Covid 19 Market Impact Paradigms April 2020Niraj Singhvi
At the cusp of possibly the most significant market drawdown and economic shock we've seen since the financial crisis, MGP looks at market impact paradigms to assess basal market impact of such events. And while current private equity war chests are well equipped to help alleviate pressures enabled by some rationalization of deal multiples in the wake of current turbulence, it also faces a major risk if these events lead to genuine economic deterioration.
This document identifies 10 trends shaping the investment management industry in a world of low interest rates, high volatility, and high correlations between asset classes. The key trends are the search for yield driving demand for credit and dividend-paying stocks; the debate around whether equities can still outperform with their high volatility; the growth of risk-minimizing multi-asset strategies; the shift to passive index funds and ETFs; and declining performance of hedge funds. Understanding how investor behavior is changing in response to these trends will be important for investment managers and can provide insights into future asset prices.

The Edge 29 January 2012 Business Insight Stefan Keitel Global CIO Credit SuisseMiles Masterson
The document discusses trends in global asset management. It makes three key points:
1) To properly build a global asset allocation strategy, one needs to do on-the-ground research in different markets rather than relying solely on analysts. This allows you to understand local valuation levels.
2) Traditional bonds currently offer very low yields, making alternative investments more attractive for achieving adequate returns. Real assets like real estate and commodities are seen as healthier long-term investments compared to nominal assets.
3) While volatility will likely continue, strategic trends point to increasing allocations to real assets, alternative investments, and emerging markets over the next years. This is due to low bond yields, volatile equity prices, and the
The last decade has been a challenge for many investors, especially those investing for the long term and retirement. Given declines in global stock markets, many investors have seen little to no real growth in their portfolios over this period. This Wealth Guide explains why investors’ portfolios may underperform in both bear and bull markets and incur substantial costs in the process. It also details the impact this chronic underperformance can have on achieving long-term financial goals.

Inspiring Investment Story
This document summarizes 20 lessons from the 2008 financial crisis according to investor Seth Klarman:
1) Unexpected events will occur and you must always be prepared.
2) When excesses like lax lending persist, people become complacent and a crisis ensues.
3) Consideration of risk should never take a backseat to potential profits. Maintaining hedges is crucial.
The lessons highlight risks of leverage, trusting models, ratings agencies, and the dangers of new financial products. Most market participants quickly forgot the lessons of 2008 according to Klarman.
This document discusses the potential impacts of COVID-19 on insurers. It finds that life insurers could be hit particularly hard by increased mortality claims if death rates reach levels seen in past pandemics. Widespread bond downgrades and lower interest rates would add to difficulties. If insurers' risk appetite declines significantly, it could reduce their credit supply to the broader economy. The impact varies by type of insurer, with life insurers most exposed to mortality risk and property and casualty insurers facing pressure over business interruption claims.
The document provides an investment outlook from Fasanara Capital. It expects the ECB and Germany to find a short-term solution to avoid a disorderly Greek default, despite remaining bearish long-term. It anticipates using massive ECB liquidity to hedge against negative scenarios through selective shorts and hedging programs. Opportunities also exist in industries vulnerable to banking retrenchment and slowing Chinese imports.
After the storm comes the calm - Fixed Income Outlookiciciprumf
The document discusses the outlook for fixed income markets in India amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. It notes that yields have spiked across corporate bonds due to risk aversion, but that central banks globally are taking measures to support economies. The document suggests that yields may normalize from current unsustainable levels as central banks and governments implement more measures. It recommends investing in high quality debt mutual funds to benefit from an expected fall in yields and positive returns as seen after past crises.
Covid19 Pandemic: Looming Global Recession and Impact on BangladeshMd. Tanzirul Amin
The document summarizes the economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, including a potential global recession. It discusses indicators that a recession may occur, such as stock market declines and yield curve inversions. The pandemic has reduced global production and exports while increasing unemployment. For Bangladesh specifically, exports and remittances declined sharply, threatening employment and government revenue. The economic challenges for Bangladesh recovering are substantial in the face of an uncertain global economic outlook.
This document discusses the international market for insuring against natural disasters through catastrophe bonds and collateralized reinsurance. It provides an overview of trends in the market, including strong growth in collateralized reinsurance deals. The document also discusses how parametric disaster finance instruments could help governments access quick funds after a natural disaster through catastrophe bonds tied to geophysical indices. Examples of existing disaster finance programs in Mexico and proposals for one in Romania are outlined.
This document discusses volatility and provides strategies for managing risk. It begins by stating that moderate volatility is healthy for financial markets as it separates strong from weak investments. The document then discusses three components needed for a well-functioning financial system: cognitive diversity among investors, full disclosure of information, and rewards/penalties for correct/incorrect views. It suggests investors should focus on owning businesses rather than reacting to market fluctuations, and construct diversified portfolios that are not overly correlated with any single index. Strategies discussed for managing risk include owning a variety of assets, investing globally for currency exposure benefits, and focusing on long-term goals rather than short-term volatility.
This document provides an investment outlook and recommendations for building a defensive portfolio amid rising economic and political risks while also seizing opportunities. It recommends maintaining adequate liquidity through cash reserves, holding high-quality intermediate bonds for diversification and yield, and selectively investing in areas with potential for earnings growth like technology and healthcare stocks as well as US small caps and high-yield bonds when prices decline due to market volatility. While there are challenges like low productivity growth, the document argues that innovation and business creation will support continued economic expansion over the long term.
- The document discusses the current geopolitical instability and conflicts happening globally and their impact on financial markets. It specifically mentions the impact on the Indian equity market in the form of a 2.5% fall in the Nifty 50 index last month driven mainly by selling from foreign investors.
- It recommends that investors in the current environment should allocate major portions of their investments to multi-asset or dynamic allocation funds for diversification. Specific sectors like MNC stocks, telecom, transport and logistics are also mentioned as suitable areas for equity exposure.
- Flexi cap funds are highlighted as an ideal option under the current situation as they provide exposure to large, mid and small cap stocks across the market capitalization spectrum for

Se incorporó a SIA en 2008, unos meses antes de la debacle bursátil, y desde entonces ha ocupado los puestos de jefe de análisis de la oficina de Ginebra y posteriormente la cogestión de todos los fondos de SIA. El LTIFClassic ha tenido una performance absoluta del 9% anual desde que se lanzó en 2002, y es un fondo global value con el objetivo de rentabilidad del 10% anual neto con un riesgo industrial muy limitado.
Sinopsis
SIA Funds y su fondo insignia LTIFClassic empezaron su andadura en 2002 con una estrategia de value investing básica (con bastante peso de recursos naturales), que rápidamente obtuvo una de los mejores alfas del mundo: c20% anual en el período 2002-2007. Pero llegó la crisis global y en 2008 el fondo Classic cayó un 60%. A partir de ahí empieza una evolución estratégica del fondo desde value investing puro a strategic value con el fin de renunciar a parte del alfa potencial a cambio de una fuerte reducción del riesgo. Esto permitió aprender en vivo, y a lo largo de una década, la lección que Buffett lleva años comentando: su transición desde pure value hacia good businesses at reasonable price. Y Graham ya lo había anticipado mucho antes, en los años 30, con su famosa frase que divide la inversión en dos partes: protección del capital y retorno satisfactorio. SIA también ha desarrollado una fuerte experiencia en commodities y recursos naturales y gestiona desde 2005 el fondo especializado LTIFNaturalResources.
- The document discusses new approaches to investment management that focus on risk awareness and absolute returns rather than benchmark returns. It summarizes recent volatility in traditional asset classes and the growth of absolute return funds in response. Absolute return funds aim to provide positive returns regardless of market conditions through diversification of investment strategies and philosophies rather than just asset types. The document argues for looking beyond traditional indexes to find investment opportunities and evaluating portfolios based on their allocation of risk rather than just asset types.
Swiss wealth managers are observing increased interest from clients in alternative investment strategies, particularly those available through UCITs funds. This is driven by the current low interest rate environment and uncertainty in traditional markets like bonds and equities. Alternative strategies through UCITs funds offer benefits like transparency, regulation, and liquidity compared to traditional offshore hedge funds. Wealth managers recommend including alternative funds focused on long/short equity, market neutral, and trend following strategies to diversify portfolios and generate higher returns than fixed income with lower volatility than equities.
