Lead or Be Led by Fear - Roger Brinner, Parthenon Group from Mass Technology ...MassTLC
The document discusses recent trends in the US economy and financial markets. It notes that bond yields and stock price-to-earnings ratios remain exceptionally low, leaving shares undervalued. Profits are strong due to rising labor productivity and improved manufacturing capacity utilization. However, share prices are far below their fair discounted present value of likely future earnings due to high risk being priced into the markets. The economic outlook assumes continued weak employment growth and productivity increases keeping real GDP around 2% annually. Fiscal stimulus in the US will be cut substantially in 2013, adding headwinds to growth.

They intend to provide transparency to shareholders through monthly fact sheets and quarterly commentary on the fund's website. The manager also discusses recent volatility in the high yield and distressed debt markets, noting that credit spreads spiked in 2015 but it is unclear if this will lead to recession or opportunity.
The document discusses the performance of the Odey European Inc fund in December 2015. It summarizes the positive and negative contributions from various long and short equity positions. It then analyzes economic and market conditions, including concerns about bubbles in China, falling oil prices, and central banks' responses to risky lending behaviors through interest rate policies. The document warns that markets may be fragile given high valuations and falling corporate profits, and that a significant market correction is possible in the coming year.
The fund returned +6.6% in August compared to -8.3% for the MSCI Europe index. Positive performance came from holdings in consumer discretionary (+4.2%), energy (+1.4%), and materials (+0.9%). Las Vegas Sands (+1.3%) and Sands China (+0.9%) were top performers, while Sky (-0.8%) and LM Ericsson Telefon (-0.4%) underperformed. The manager believes developed markets face earnings risk with high valuations and sees further global economic adjustments ahead, rather than the crisis being over, as China addresses debt, competitiveness and slowing growth issues in a deflationary environment.
El documento resume la evolución del fondo Gestión del Ciclo FI en mayo de 2015. Retrocedió un -0,22% en mayo debido a las caídas generalizadas en casi todos los activos. Sin embargo, su rentabilidad acumulada en 2015 sigue siendo del +5,65%, por encima de la media de su categoría. La liquidez, posiciones inversas en deuda alemana y estadounidense, y el oro ayudaron a limitar las pérdidas en mayo.
The fund lost money significantly in April (-19.3%) due to losses from its long USD position (-11.6%), short equity book (-7%), and Australian government bond positions (-0.9%). Positive individual stock positions such as Las Vegas Sands Corp. and Kellogg Company were outweighed by losses from stocks like Seadrill Ltd. and BG Group Plc. The document discusses challenges faced by the fund, changes made to reduce risk, and the manager's views on current market conditions and outlook.
30638 tl bill gross investment outlook may 2015-exp 5.30.16_3Frank Ragol
Bill Gross provides a lengthy outlook on the current state of investment markets and the economy. He argues that after 35 years, the great bull market that began in 1981 is showing signs of ending, with asset prices reaching unsustainable levels. While declines may not be imminent, future returns will likely be low. Investors should recognize the current "sense of an ending" and shift to more defensive strategies focusing on income rather than capital gains to better weather the changing environment.

- Greif, Inc. (GEF) has engaged in a large acquisition spree over the past decade, spending over $1.2 billion to acquire 40 companies. However, GEF has provided limited disclosure to investors about these acquisitions.
- GEF appears to have obfuscated and revised the financial performance and costs of its acquisitions. In one example, it increased the reported purchase price of 2010 acquisitions by $98 million through a misleading presentation.
- With high acquisition debt on its balance sheet, GEF may be vulnerable in a weaker economic environment. It derives around 55% of sales from foreign markets, exposing it to currency risks from a stronger US dollar.
Third point-q4-2014-investor-letter-tpoiFrank Ragol
This letter summarizes Third Point LLC's investment results and outlook for 2015. In 2014, Third Point achieved mid-single digit returns due to poor performance during market volatility and prematurely exiting some positions. Already in 2015, markets have been highly volatile. Third Point is focusing on companies with strong cash flows and consistent growth, and looking to take advantage of market dislocations. The letter discusses two of Third Point's largest equity positions - Amgen and Fanuc.
The document summarizes the performance of the Odey European fund for December 2014. The fund returned +11.7% for the month compared to the MSCI Europe return of -1.4%. Active currency positions contributed significantly to returns, particularly positions in AUD/USD and USD/ZAR. Short equity positions also contributed positively, while long equity positions made a smaller but still significant contribution. The manager believes a slowdown in the Chinese economy and falling commodity prices will negatively impact commodity-producing economies and their trading partners, leading to a global recession. Central banks have limited ability to counter this downturn through monetary policy. The manager remains short-biased on equities and bearish on commodity-related sectors and EM
- The SKAGEN Global fund underperformed its benchmark index in November, rising 1.1% compared to the index's 2.4% gain. Weak Russian and oil-related stocks contributed to the underperformance.
- Year-to-date the fund has gained 7.2%, lagging the benchmark index by 10.4%.
- Samsung Electronics was the top positive contributor in November while Weatherford was the largest detractor.
- The fund managers continued reducing smaller positions and increasing the concentration of larger holdings in the top 10.
- The document discusses lessons that can be learned from recent fluctuations in oil prices, specifically how few predicted the large decline in prices.
- It notes that consensus forecasts often only make small incremental changes rather than considering order-of-magnitude shifts, and few foresaw how low oil could fall.
- The author outlines various direct and indirect consequences of lower oil prices across many industries and economies to illustrate how difficult it is to anticipate all potential impacts and ramifications.
The fund returned 2.4% in October, outperforming the MSCI World Index which returned 2%. Long positions positively contributed, notably in Plus500, Regus, and Ethan Allen. Short positions in 10-year Treasury futures and Australian banks detracted from performance. Overall, the fund has outperformed its benchmark since inception with a net annualized return of 21.3% compared to 12.6% for the index.

This document is a quarterly letter from GMO discussing potential investment environments and their implications. It presents two potential scenarios - "Purgatory" where interest rates rise gradually from very low levels, and "Hell" where rates remain near zero forever.
Under the "Hell" scenario of permanently low rates, traditional stock and bond allocations would still be reasonable investments. However, expected returns would be lower across all assets. Under the "Purgatory" scenario, current valuations would need to fall as rates rise, so returns over the next 7 years would be worse than in "Hell" though better over the long-run. The appropriate portfolio depends on the scenario, with lower allocations to stocks and bonds in

This document provides projections for public debt levels as a percentage of GDP for several European countries and the US through 2030. It finds that while Germany, the US and Switzerland should be able to maintain debt below concerning levels, other countries face significant challenges. Italy and Portugal are projected to have debt ratios over 200% of GDP within 15 years if current trends continue. France and Spain would also see rising debt, though not as extreme. The projections assume balanced budgets, but most countries currently run deficits. Structural reforms will be needed to reduce debt in troubled countries. Dividend payments from European companies are also discussed, which are expected to remain an important component of stock returns due to low interest rates and high corporate cash balances. However

Why We are Not Likely to Experience Another 2008 Type Decline?
1. Banking system has gone from insolvency to strong capital ratios.
2. No weak/opaque shadow banking system to contend with.
3. The financial condition of Corporate America is excellent.
4. Profit and revenue growth are still good as is growth in dividends and share buybacks.
5. Business inventories are in excellent shape. There is no bubble in housing as in 2008 and
most cyclical sectors of the economy are at a very low percentage of GDP.
6. Household debt/GDP, while still high, has dropped from 95.4% to 85.1%. Debt service
ratio substantially improved.
7. The consumer savings rate has gone from 1% to 5.0%.
8. Lower dollar should be a plus for exports.
9. Oil price decline from $115 to $77 WTI ($130 to $102 Brent) per barrel positive for
consumers and economy generally.
10. FED policy of zero interest rates will ultimately work.
11. Tame wages and decent productivity.
12. Decent M&A activity and large pool of private equity capital.
13. Investors are conservatively postured.
14. Market valuation very appealing – both absolute and particularly relative to alternatives
(financial repression).

Euro Zone Will Be Okay ?
We have been very disappointed in the tardiness and substance of policies offered by the euro-
zone governments and the ECB to address the European sovereign-debt issue. This tardiness
and lack of substance has taken its toll on risk assets. Nonetheless, we do believe that
governments and the central bank in Europe, for now, will address the sovereign-debt issue.
•EFSF permitted to buy weak peripheral debt in the primary and secondary markets
• EFSF permitted to extend loans to shore up bank balance sheets
• EFSF/IMF likely to fund Greece through mid-2014
• ECB purchasing Italian and Spanish debt
• ECB providing unlimited liquidity to banks
• ECB moderating its tight money policy
•ECB purchasing covered bonds from banks, aiding bank funding
• Asian governments likely to support euro-zone sovereign debt
• EFSF lending capacity lifted to 440 billion and likely to increase further
•Euro-zone bank re-capitalizations coming
•Increased dollar swap funding available to euro-zone banks

Risks to Our Equity Market Outlook
• The opportunity for a self-sustaining economic expansion is threatened by weak employment
growth and/or the feedback to the economy from lower equity prices/euro-zone sovereign-debt
issues. The result is the possibility of recession
• The core euro-zone governments, IMF, and ECB fail to contain the sovereign-debt issue and
instigate further sustained contagion to Italy and Spain, in turn causing a global recession and
weaker than expected corporate profits
• A dent to global growth if there is a hard landing in China’s economy
• Home prices enter another phase of accelerating decline, denting consumer confidence and
spending
• Middle East turmoil intensifies and energy prices spike, constraining real income and spending
• Budget deficit issues in the U. S. and the unwillingness of Washington to fully address the deficit
constrain U.S. growth
• The uncertain effects in the U.S. surrounding consumer and financial-sector deleveraging and the
collision of this deleveraging with public-sector balance-sheet leveraging
• The uncertain economic and capital-market effects of heightened global regulation on financial
markets
• A continuing significant reliance of the U.S. on foreign capital, particularly Chinese capital at a
time when there are differences in currency policy between the U.S. and China
• Capital controls imposed by emerging economies to stem the rise in their currencies and protect
against asset bubbles
• A still not friendly Administration, re the corporate sector

Presidential Platform
1. Get out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Provide every returning soldier with a free four
year college education or trade school of their choice.
2. Set up a peace time WPA effort to channel a portion of the saving into rebuilding
US infrastructure.
3. Unleash the domestic energy industry to develop domestic energy supplies and
reserves. This will create employment and reduce our dependency on foreign
suppliers.
4. Government spending should be limited to a growth rate at least 1% below the
level of nominal GDP growth.
5. Freeze entitlements and raise the social security retirement age to 70 with an
exception of those that work at hard labor.
6. 10% income tax surcharge for three years on those that earn over $500,000 per
year.
7. 5% VAT tax to get at the underground economy and deal with the deficit.
8. Tackle health care in a serious way.
9. Reinstate the “Up-Tick” rule for short sales, ban or curtail High Frequency
trading and limit CDS trading to those that own the underlying bonds. The high
frequency traders are turning the best capital market in the world into a casino
and scaring the public. This is not in the public interest.

The Investment Environment
Economic Outlook: • Slow growth owing to economy wide deleveraging .
• Tame inflation owing to substantial output and labor excess capacity .
• Sub -par employment growth owing to regulation/slow growth in final demand.
• Slow profit g rowth owing to elevated profit margins and slow nominal GDP growth .
• Economic expansions average in duration and below average in magnitude.
• Changing composition of GDP with consumption declining as a percentage of output and
capital spending, residential i nvestment, and exports increasing as a share of output.
