Asset Allocation Outlook December

The MSCI global equity index noted gains for the third month in a row in November. A difference was discernible though between industrialised countries, which saw prices rise, and the slight price decreases in emerging markets. Capital market yields rose further, while the US saw an end to falling yields at the short end of the yield curve. This caused the spread on long-term and short-term yields to widen, which is a positive sign for the business cycle. The reasons behind the positive mood on the markets continue to be hopes of a trade agreement between the US and China, the diminishing risk of a hard Brexit and the bottoming-out of a number of leading economic indicators. We have reduced our cash position by expanding our overweight in emerging market debt. Our underweight in equities has been kept unchanged, however, as we still believe that the equity markets have priced in an excessively positive scenario for corporate earnings.

Kempen's Commentary

Before you start reading: please don’t take the following personally. It’s others and not you. The reason for this is that I have some bad news: we are not getting any smarter. In fact, we are all getting dumber. At least that’s what recent IQ tests suggest.

High yield in a broad perspective

The size of the fixed-income investment markets has grown considerably over the past decade. Existing investment classes have grown significantly, but also new fixed-income asset classes have become available to investors. The accommodative policy of central banks with low interest rates has spurred a search for yield that has led to an increase in capital made available for lending. At the same time, the past few years’ robust economic growth has led to a credit demand for growth, investments, mergers, and acquisitions. In emerging economies, particularly fixed-income markets in local currencies have shown significant growth.
