3) Coronation maintains that current volatility and weakness in EM presents long-term opportunities to invest in high-quality companies at attractive valuations, despite negative macro factors. Structural growth drivers will ultimately outweigh short-term market movements.

The newsletter discusses volatility in investment portfolios and argues that it should be seen as an opportunity rather than a risk. It presents evidence that volatility decreases significantly with increased investment time horizons and that the primary risk for long-term investors is the permanent loss of capital rather than temporary price fluctuations. The newsletter advocates for focusing on economic fundamentals over 3-5 year periods and distinguishing noise from signals when identifying investment opportunities created by market volatility.

Similarly, other asset class indexes like small-cap domestic stocks and international stocks routinely experienced negative monthly returns, but investors were still rewarded with strong long-term returns by remaining disciplined and diversified.

Marginal Efficiency Of Investment(Mei) Revised Feb 2011Gary Crosbie
This document summarizes an updated risk-adjusted analysis of different investment styles in bull and bear markets. The analysis finds that mid-cap investments provided the highest return per unit of risk overall and during most recessions. International investments saw lower returns in the update due to economic instability. Monte Carlo simulations showed mid-caps and small caps offered the highest probability of meeting return thresholds with reasonable risk. The conclusions support allocating relatively more to mid-caps and selectively increasing small-cap and technology exposure coming out of downturns.

Tamohara investment newsletter September 2015tamohara
The document is a monthly newsletter from Tamohara Investment Managers discussing market volatility and corrections. It notes that corrections of 5-20% are normal even during bull markets.

Current market conditions do not show signs of euphoria seen late in past bull markets. Despite volatility, Indian markets are positioned for growth supported by stable macros, improving governance, and transitioning to consumption-driven growth in China. Investors are advised to think long term and do less reacting to daily news and movements.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

RISK AND REWARD PROFILE
This risk level is mainly explained as follows:
The fluctuation of stocks due to possible sudden
and/or prolonged fall of the financial markets.
Intensive use of derivatives traded on an official
market or over the counter, which may amplify the
fluctuations in the market value of the underlying
asset.
Concentration in a particular geographic area.
Investment in bonds and other credit instruments,
the value and return of which could be affected by
fluctuations in interest rates, as well as by market
perception of the quality of the borrower.
This indicator is deemed to reflect the level of risk of
the fund. It can vary from 1 to 7 depending on the
weekly upward and downward fluctuations of the
portfolio over the last 5 years. The level 1 on the scale
does not mean that the portfolio is risk-free. However,
this indicator is based on historic data and therefore
does not guarantee the level of future risk of the fund.
Neither is this risk level an investment objective for
the fund and therefore it could vary over time.
Level 3 equates to an average fluctuation variance of
between 2% and 5%, according to the calculation
method described above.

from being traded under optimum conditions..
Counterparty risk: risk that the counterparty will
be unable to execute its financial obligations
under the terms of the contract (such as fixed term
deposits) or the transaction (such as financial
derivatives traded over the counter) in which it is
involved.
Operational risk: risk of loss for the fund linked to
human or technical error, inadequate internal
procedures or control systems.
Specific risks linked to the possible use of

MARKET ENVIRONMENTS
October 20151511/
WHEN CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENT?
Prices and earnings decoupling : rare but negative
Market rotations generally do not occur in «normal» market conditions
Why decoupling happened : Extra low yields compression pushed investors
towards a yield replacement trade more than offsetting earnings decline
Decoupling generate rotations :
Contraction of earnings expectations because of significant economic slowdown in some countries or sectors
Rising equity markets despite earnings contraction
Past 4 years rotations explained by
Expected recovery in domestic economies & temporary strong performance of domestic businesses (Financials, Utilities,..)
Significant rotations are unlikely when earnings and price directions are coupled
