Tricumen / Rates markets: A perfect storm_200614Tricumen Ltd
A Perfect Storm
Commentators cite a decline in volumes and lack of volatility as being the key reasons for a drop in rates trading revenues.
Our analysis shows that the situation is more complex. Several regulatory, market and risk management factors have combined to create a ‘perfect storm’ in rates markets.
We expect that some of the recent structural changes will remain, but the market volatility and revenue opportunities may improve as key central banks’ policies and strategies diverge.
The portfolio manager discusses the Third Avenue Focused Credit Fund. They reiterate their commitment to maximizing value in the portfolio and returning capital to shareholders in a timely manner. Eight of the top ten holdings have restructured in the past two years, reducing debt levels. The manager believes the portfolio contains significant embedded value that will be realized as market conditions normalize and corporate events occur. 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 fund returned -10.8% in February, underperforming its benchmark. The short equity book and long equity book both made negative contributions after currency hedging. Within the short book, negative contributions came from Anglo American, Las Vegas Sands, and Royal Dutch Shell. Within the long book, negative contributions came from Nokia, Sky, and Bank of America. Elsewhere, active currencies returned -0.4% while government bonds and commodities returned +0.1% and +1.4% respectively. The manager remains convinced markets will continue to struggle without credit expansion and believes central banks have limited options to address slowing growth and falling productivity.
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.
The document discusses how the current economic downturn is affecting digital marketing and media spending. It provides statistics showing that the economy is declining sharply, consumer confidence is low, and media and marketing budgets are expected to be flat or decrease over the next two years for the first time in over 40 years. Marketers anticipate significant cuts to their advertising budgets in response to the recession.
The document summarizes the performance of various markets in the past week. Commodity prices like oil and silver saw large declines, with oil falling 14.7% and silver dropping 27%, reflecting increased volatility in commodity markets. Broader commodity indexes also declined sharply. The declines were attributed to speculators exiting positions rapidly in response to changing market conditions. The commentary notes that successful investors adapt to changing times, just as AM radio adapted by changing formats over the decades to remain relevant amid new technologies.

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?
