CIO WM Research analysts discuss their views in an internal UBS blog. This document makes certain blog posts available to financial advisors for client distribution. The blog post discusses the authors' view that the current market decline is a normal bull market correction rather than the start of a bear market. It notes that bull markets have historically experienced multiple 10% or greater declines, and markets typically recover from such corrections within 3-6 months. The authors analyze past corrections and conclude the current one fits historical patterns, suggesting further gains in coming months.

As we enter the last quarter of 2013, US politicians are once again playing a game of brinkmanship; unfortunately one that could have dire consequences for the world’s economy. Politicians continue to entrench opposing positions rather than engage in positive action. It is highly unlikely that the entire US government will shut down as essential services will remain active, but nevertheless, investors dislike uncertainty and markets have been under pressure as the Third Quarter closed.

Credit Suisse was a big financial company in Zurich, Switzerland. It was started in 1856 and offered many services, such as investment banking, private banking, wealth management, and asset management. It had more than 50,000 workers and 1.3 trillion Swiss francs in money under management by 2022. But Credit Suisse went broke in March 2023 after losing a lot of money from its part in some scandals and bad bets. The bank lost money from the failure of Greensill Capital, a finance company that it had put money in and sold to its customers. It also lost money from the failure of Archegos Capital Management, a family business that could not pay its debts. Moreover, Credit Suisse had legal problems from its part in the Mozambique debt scandal and the 1MDB corruption case. These things made the bank lose money, trust, and confidence, and made some top leaders and board members quit. Credit Suisse asked for bankruptcy in March 2023 and was sold to another bank UBS for 3 billion CHF (about $3.3 billion USD).

Markets are in a consolidation mode. The upside is capped by geopolitical risk and Trump’s inability to make any economic reforms. But more importantly the direction of markets has been determined by economic momentum. From November last year, the rise in markets was largely due to the improving economic cycle. The consolidation now in evidence is due to economic momentum moderating.

Quantative Tightening - A Leviathan Awakens - Blake Huber.pdfBlake Huber
Increases in the Fed Funds rate should not be feared by asset markets. Quantitative Tightening ("QT) is little understood, but is the primary force with which investors should be wary.

BoC Market Musings: a dovish speech, CPI preview and a lower neutral rate.
BoC Senior Deputy Governor Wilkins gave a dovish speech in NYC last evening. First, Wilkins mentioned that low inflation
was one of many reasons justifying the BoC cautious approach regarding the swift withdrawal of further stimulus. Some of
the key passages that caught our attention are: “There are also times when uncertainty can lead to caution or patience.
Just three weeks ago, the Bank decided to leave the policy rate unchanged… One of the motivations for caution is that
inflation has been in the lower end of the inflation target bands of 1 to 3 per cent for quite some time…the central bank
puts a greater weight on the downside risks when inflation is low to begin with.”
While it's hard to predict the markets, when it comes to the month of May, one thing is for certain: You will hear the financial media and market participants say "Sell in May and Go Away." However, after examining the data, there is no convincing case for investors to “Sell in May and Go Away” this year, especially, if 2016 is not going to be a recession year.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

What if this is a "normal" bull market correction?
Jeremy Zirin, CFA, Chief Equity Strategist
David Lefkowitz, CFA, Senior Equity Strategist
We, at CIO, believe that we are in a bull market correction stoked
by the combination of concerns over global growth, monetary pol-
icy conditions and valuation levels. While economic growth in Chi-
na and many emerging economies has admittedly been sputtering of
late, stronger consumer fundamentals in the US and other developed
economies continue to suggest to us that there is very little chance of
a domestic recession over the next 12-18 months. Keep in mind that
the most cyclical areas of US consumer spending – autos and housing
– have recently accelerated. Annualized US auto sales reached a post-
crisis high at 17.8 million units in August while existing home sales
reached 5.6 million in July, also a post-crisis peak and 11% above the
average monthly sales rate over the past two years.
Been there, done that
It's also important to maintain perspective during periods of market
downdrafts and elevated market volatility. It is not that unusual to
see stock prices fall by 10% during bull markets. In fact, each of the
11 US bull markets since 1940 has included at least one 10% correc-
tion. The current 6.5 year old bull market has now experienced three
of them (summer 2010, summer 2011, current). By our calculations,
since 1940 we have seen 22 "corrections" of more than 10% (but
less than 20%, i.e., a correction, not a bear market) excluding the
current instance during historical bull markets.

So if we are right and this is correction and not a bear market, what does the typical post-correction path look like?
The table at the end of this blog shows all previous 22 bull market corrections over the past 75 years. On average, the
S&P 500 experiences a 13.9% peak-to-trough drawdown over 3.7 months. While we will only know in retrospect if we
have already hit the market bottom in this correction, the S&P 500 has declined by 12.4% from its 21 May 2015 peak
(of 2130) to its 25 August closing trough of 1867.
Some interesting observations:
• Of the 22 historical bull market corrections, the S&P 500 was out of correction territory 21 out of 22 times over the
next three months and in all 22 times over the next six months. The S&P 500 closed at 1893 on 24 August 2015,
its first "breach" of the -10% correction threshold.
• The average subsequent 3, 6, 12, and 24 month S&P 500 returns from its correction level (not from the S&P 500
correction trough, but from when the S&P 500 first registered a 10% peak-to-trough decline) were very strong: +8%
in 3 months; +14% in 6 months; and +19% over the next one year.
• Applying these average "post-correction" returns to the current correction, the S&P 500 would be at 2042 in late
November 2015, 2155 in late February 2016, and 2250 in late August 2016—levels which are broadly consistent with
the current rolling 6 month CIO S&P 500 target of 2175.
