That is the gap between what 8 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: pension funds have and what they will need by twenty fifty. 9 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: Our next guest has been studying the brewing pension crisis, 10 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: and we're very lucky to have Han Yick, head of 11 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: Institutional Investors at the World Economic Forum. He has worked 12 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 1: in the pension industry on all sides and is intimately 13 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: aware of this. Han, can you talk about the problem globally? 14 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,639 Speaker 1: Is it the same everywhere? And our pensions dealing with 15 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: this by lowering the returns assumptions to increasing the contributions 16 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: of members. Sure, thanks for having me. I think um 17 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: First of all, it is a global crisis. We've looked 18 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: at this analysis on a very global level. Are are 19 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: We have a project which are running called retirement Investment 20 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: Systems reform and we're looking and working with countries from 21 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: around the world. I will say some countries are in 22 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: better shape than other countries. But overall, if you look 23 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: at what it means to have the gap, UM you 24 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: have liabilities and assets. The liabilities are you have retirement 25 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: aages when pension payments start. And the bad news right 26 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: now from a pension's perspective is because we're all living longer, Uh, 27 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: it means that the pension benefits have to last us 28 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: much much longer. And that's the problem that all countries 29 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: are facing. You know, longevity is increasing gay for us overall, 30 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: but from a pension perspective, that's putting strain. If nothing 31 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: else is changing, it's just math that the amount that 32 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: we need to UH to account for the amount of 33 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,919 Speaker 1: money just needs to go up. That money needs come somewhere. 34 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: Is there is the dependence on defined contribution rather than 35 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: define benefit plans contributing to this problem. I think the 36 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: shift from defined benefits to define contribution has caused UM 37 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: a different a shift in the responsibility of clear tensions. Yeah. 38 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: So the issue there is that now the individual bears 39 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: the burden of being their own actuary, being being their 40 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: own asset manager UM and and the burden of the 41 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: savings themselves. So that's actually caused quite a bit of 42 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: of gap as well. So is that considered to be 43 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: a positive element or a negative element? Um? Uh, I 44 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: would maybe have a lot of different people who are 45 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: personally responsible for their own retirement. It gets very difficult 46 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: to implement any kind of change if, for example, you 47 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: and people at the World Economic Form and a variety 48 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: of government officials sit down and figure out a solution 49 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: that it doesn't it make it more challenging to actually 50 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: affect any kind of change. I think that's I think 51 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: that's true. One of the issues is it is a 52 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: global issue, UM, but the solutions will have to be 53 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: done at a more regional level. UM. If you look 54 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,399 Speaker 1: at the U S specifically the four one case situation, 55 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: there is a little different than the fine contributions schemes 56 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: in other countries. So, for example, the Netherlands has done 57 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: a very good job in terms of a collectivized DC 58 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: plan because mandatory, it's mandatory. UM. Also look at Australia, 59 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: they have mandatory contributions. Now the word mandatory here in 60 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: the US not so popular. It's getting exactly so sometimes 61 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: the solutions are can be difficult politically, but in the US, 62 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: for example, one of the things that UM that can 63 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: help is auto enrollment and auto escalation. So the idea 64 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: still maintain choice, but have people opt out rather than 65 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: opt in. So I want to talk about the investment 66 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: strategies of these pensions. So what they do is they 67 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: take the contributions they get, they invest them in assets 68 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: like bonds and stocks in private equity, and hope to 69 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: earn a return in order to meet the seven or 70 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: eight percent obligations that they need to pay out each year. UM. 71 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: First of all, some have ratcheted back those expectations for returns, 72 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: but widely people do not think they've come down enough. 73 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: How much have you looked into potential losses in some 74 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: riskier strategies that pensions have been going into in order 75 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: to get those bigger returns that they are still seeking 76 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: in other words, like the private equity for example, which 77 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: firms have a record amount of cash and are investing 78 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: in companies at peak valuations. Potentially. Yeah, so UM, on 79 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,119 Speaker 1: our end, we're looking a little more. Uh, I guess 80 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: a high level than that in terms of UM. In 81 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: terms of this is the problem these are the steps 82 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: they are needed to solve it. From the investment strategy perspective, 83 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: that's something that UM that the individual pension funds will 84 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: need to tackle. But it's an area that UM that 85 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: UH will need to be examined because the problem when 86 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: once you have a gap you have with the liabilities 87 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: and the assets, it's really the gap sounds like one number, 88 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: but it's really based on two numbers. I just wrote 89 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: a blog that the George Georgetown Center for Retirement Initiatives 90 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: published where I talk about this tale of two numbers. UM. 91 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: Once you have a gap where the liabilities are higher 92 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: than the assets, you need to close that which means 93 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: the assets needs to be growing faster than than the liabilities. 94 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: And if the liabilities are growing because we're living longer, 95 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: if nothing else changes on that front, if we don't 96 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: increase retirement age, if we don't reduce benefits, UM, then 97 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: you know then the liability will continue to grow at 98 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: a certain rate. Then we need to increase assets in 99 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: order to close that gap. UM. Now the problem then 100 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: becomes what you said, do we go into asset classes 101 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: that can be potentially riskier but have a potentially greater 102 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: long term return UM I would argue that steps need 103 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: to be made on both sides in order to close 104 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: that gap, because just mathematically it cannot work out if 105 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: one number is increasing quicker than the other. We're talking 106 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: about numbers, and I'm wondering whether the benefits that were 107 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: describing that will not be there if we continue on 108 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: our current path. Can they in any way be replaced 109 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: by the actual services that need to be rendered too 110 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: elderly people, And I mean things like healthcare, shelter, food, 111 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: and so on. In other words, you put a price 112 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: on them, but that's really just a mechanism. The actual 113 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: service itself doesn't have to be priced, does it. Um. 114 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: That's a great, great question or a great point. UM. 115 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: I would say that for our analysis, the way we've 116 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: looked at it is in terms of um UH as 117 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: a replacement ratio, In terms of UH the fact that 118 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: you may need a smaller percentage of your current income 119 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: in order to mean to maintain a certain lifestyle. Now 120 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: that's UM something that is UH usually good approximation. It 121 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: allows us to compare country different countries because UM that 122 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: does factor into account healthcare standards, you know, the things, 123 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: the cost of living, things like that in different countries. 124 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: UM in general what's needed though in retirement you cannot 125 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: separate what's need in retirement with healthcare. UM. That's something 126 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: we're going to explore in the third phase of the 127 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: project most likely because UM, the two aren't are definitely linked. 128 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: If you live longer, what's the quality of life? What's 129 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: the cost needed for that? And that will play a 130 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: huge impact on terms of what's needed as a pension. 131 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: Tell people how they can just learn more about your work. Sure, 132 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: I would say you can go to the World Economic 133 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: Form website. We have a page on the Retirement Investment 134 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: Systems Reform Project. We have a white paper UM and 135 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: as I mentioned in the Georgetown Center for Retirement Initiatives 136 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: have a new blog post outlining hopefully in easy language, 137 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: in terms of what this means is in terms of 138 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: the gap the tail of two numbers. Thank you very 139 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: much for being with us, so much appreciated.

So this 173 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: is UH. This is an agency that has to have 174 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: a long term approach and has to meet a certain 175 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: amount of returns each year to meet potential obligations. You're 176 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: a few weeks away from changing your investment thesis, your 177 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: investment strategy. Can you give us a taste of kind 178 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: of how you're planning to change your allocation? Sure? Just 179 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: so you understand. So, UM approximately ten or eleven billion 180 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: dollars is managed internally to meet our liabilities paying insurance claims. 181 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: The balance is used to provide a backstop in case 182 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: our actuaries say we need more money in our liability pool, 183 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: so we can take it from the surplus. So the 184 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: asset allocation UM is that we are shortly going to 185 00:10:53,800 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: complete will provide us with additional diversification within at portfolio. 186 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: So UM we will expect to see UM investments in 187 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: alternatives UM broadly speaking, private markets which includes it could 188 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: be optimist credit, it could be bank loans um UM, 189 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: it could be private lending strategy increasing allocations, that's correct, 190 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: Private equity UM could include infrastructure, real estate UM. So 191 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: those are going to be UM new asset classes for us. 192 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: So we're going to be one of the We're building 193 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: out a alternatives portfolio de novo UM and so that's 194 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: going to be quite an interesting UM undertaking for us. 195 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: At this event, there are many young people. I'm wondering 196 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: if you could explain, what is it you would like 197 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: to communicate to them? What message would you like to 198 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: leave them with. One of the things that I will 199 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: be talking about is the perspective of a long term 200 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 1: investor UM and how we are UM UM patient. We 201 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: don't get caught up in UM UH sort of quarterly 202 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: monthly daily gyrations that we have to be consistent. We 203 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: have to be UH patient investors. We have to have 204 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: a diversified portfolio to spread out our risk across UM 205 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: different environments, through different markets, and hopefully UH engaged them 206 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: in a dialogue because they are students and I expect 207 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: them to ask us budget questions. You know, one thing 208 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: that I thought was interesting as we were talking ahead 209 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: of this is UH that you are reducing your allocation 210 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: somewhat too active managers, at least in the large cap space, 211 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: although replacing that with passive instead. UM I find it 212 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: interesting is it's basically a bifurcation where you're basically going 213 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: into passive for the broad market exposure and then trying 214 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: to increase your exposure to more esoteric markets. Is that 215 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: basically the broader thesis here UM. I think, UM, what 216 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: we had experienced over the last ten years is this 217 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: the market has gone up, and you can capture that 218 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: in a passive index for a lot less than active management. UM. 219 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily believe in that same thesis UM in 220 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 1: small and mid cap I think active management UM is 221 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: adding alpha and adding value. UM. I also think that 222 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: in a in volatile markets, you need active market, you 223 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: need active you need active management UM. And UH, so 224 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: it's it's strategic. It's hard to um uh argue that 225 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: large cap active managers have been consistently outperforming the benchmark 226 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: as opposed to passive managers. UM so hopefully, um we 227 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: still have active on on large cap, but it made 228 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 1: sense to have a portion of it managed passively. David 229 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: our Like, thank you so much for being with us, 230 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: Have fun on your panel and the best of luck. 231 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: David our liked Managing director and special advisor to the 232 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: Chairman for GAMCO, overseeing forty billion dollars.

Does buy the dip? Still apply with us 235 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: to discuss? Phil Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated 236 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: friend to this show, Phil, thank you so much for 237 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: being here, pleasure, Thanks for having me back. So we've 238 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: seen a little bit of red in the past few days. Um. 239 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: In the past there is a pavlavi in response to 240 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: immediately buy any dip, no matter how small. Today we 241 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: saw that in pre market trading was down. It is 242 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: now up largely except for the NASDAC. Were you in 243 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: there buying No, we we weren't. And um so yeah, 244 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: you had this two and a half percent correction yesterday. 245 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: Everyone's scared to death about the impact on tariffs and 246 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: trade wars, and that's all reasonable and understands. I think. So, um, now, 247 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: if if, if you were ready to turn here, today 248 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: would have been a big move day up and the 249 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: SMP had a nice you know, green in the futures. 250 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: But then I guess we're largely flat, maybe fractionally higher. 251 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: That that tells you that we're not there yet. You know, 252 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: the kids in the back of the car, are we 253 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: there yet? We're not there yet. And and from our 254 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: perspective again, you gotta remember sort of the typical pattern here. 255 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: You had this nice move up in the beginning of 256 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: the year, and then this waterfall collapse. We're down twelve 257 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: and then you bounce and then what you what you 258 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: need to do technically is sort of retest that low. 259 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: And we haven't done that retest. That's where we are now. 260 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: It's that retest process. And and so you know, our 261 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: best guess is that you probably are looking at a 262 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: retest at the two day moving average, probably over the 263 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: course of the next couple of weeks um ahead of 264 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: the earning season. I think the only season is gonna 265 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: be pretty good. But that's just that you've got I 266 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: think a little more downside. I think that two hundred 267 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: day moving averages around twenty's like okay, But I got 268 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: the advantage I have the actually charting. Yeah yeah, savant 269 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: with a computer and yeah right exactly in my dreams. 270 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: Uh you know, okay, So eight four. So I want 271 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: to know who do you believe are all the smart 272 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: sellers or the market participants ince January six that have 273 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: caused this increase in volatility. It's not like the companies 274 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: are all different, it's not like the economy is all different. 275 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: There's got to be something that explains why. When you 276 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: look at a chart of the S and P five 277 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: it looks really lovely going up to the twenty sixth 278 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: of January, and then from then on in it looks 279 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: like a heart patient who's having a stroke. So understand 280 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: that the stock market from just before the election back 281 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: in sixteen through that January aforementioned peak stock market was 282 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 1: up like or some ridiculous number. And the reality is 283 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: that looking at some of the fundamentals, looking at some 284 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: of the technicals, the move up in January, and I 285 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: think we were up like seven and a half or 286 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: eight percent in that first three or four weeks. Was 287 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: probably ahead of itself, and we were due for a correction, 288 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: and we were due, frankly for a a more healthy 289 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: spate of volatility. The VICS last year was was sitting 290 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: between like eight and ten. You know, I know, but 291 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 1: but Phil, but who or is it a machine? Because 292 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: I understand, you know, it was ahead of itself, but 293 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: I mean, every time we use those pronouns, there's got 294 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: to be something behind it. And the market doesn't move 295 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: all by itself. There's either a human being or there's 296 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,719 Speaker 1: a decision being taken, or there's a machine that's program 297 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: that says, you know, when it does X sell or 298 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: when it does why by so we're we're told, we're 299 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: hearing that there were some al goes, you know, some 300 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: of the really smart hedges that were you know, taking 301 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: some money off the top there back in in late January, 302 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: and then we dropped twelve percent in a couple of weeks. 303 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: We were dramatically oversold in our view. We did buy there, 304 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: uh and we had a nice so eight to ten 305 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: percent bounce or so, and then we've been uh, you know, 306 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: sort of patiently waiting for the retest here. So I 307 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: think we may get more aggressive in a couple of 308 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: weeks if we get down to this four level as 309 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: you talk about him. We are expecting that that corporate 310 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: earnings in the first quarter are going to be very solid. 311 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: We think the full year is going to be very solid. 312 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: We're in a hundred and fifty five s and P 313 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: versus one one thirty last year or thereabouts now. When 314 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: we raised our number to one fifty five, you know, 315 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter of last year, people thought we 316 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: were star craving lunatics. Well go back and look at 317 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: your little computer screen there. The consensus has now moved 318 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: up to one fifty eight for this year. We're now 319 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: behind the consensus. So now, well, so what we thought 320 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: we saw three or four months ago, the rest of 321 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: the street is starting to catch on, and that is 322 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: that the fiscal policy initiatives that are playing out I 323 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: have a positive impact on underlying you know, company and 324 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: market fundamentals. So we think the market will grind up 325 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 1: over the course of the year. But this period right 326 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: now is ugly. It's uncomfortable. Uh and and this is 327 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: what we're living through, all right, you know, it's uncomfortable 328 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: right now Mark Zuckerberg and his dinner time conversations. Facebook 329 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: shares have declined since March sixte They've declined eleven per cent. 330 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: Is this a buy an opportunity? Well, I don't follow 331 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: the stock closely enough to make that judgment. I did 332 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,239 Speaker 1: hear that them forward multiple on on. A lot of 333 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: these sort of fang stocks are are down pretty sharply. 334 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: I thought I heard a comment that that Bill Miller, uh, 335 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: you know, one of the greatest value investors in the 336 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: game for the last twenty or thirty years now thinks 337 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: that the stock could be you know, attractive. He maybe 338 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: you know, dip into toe in the water. So one 339 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: guy like Bill Miller says this thing is starting to 340 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: get cheap. You perk up your forty little years and 341 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: you start to pay attention. So I don't know definitively 342 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: that we're ready to buy, but you know, if a 343 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: guy like Bill Miller says it's cheap, then then maybe 344 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: it's worth taking a look at. Just quickly, if you 345 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: take a look at the SMP five hundred, go back 346 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: to this time last year, we are up thirty Okay, 347 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: uh that is that? Okay? Can you live with that, Yeah, 348 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: I could certainly live with that. And from here we 349 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 1: think we could do mid teens over the course of 350 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: this year and next year. We're still a thirty one 351 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: hundred this year, thirty five hundred next year, no recession 352 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: before probably twenty twenty late one, early on the horizon. 353 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: So we think that that, you know, you can still 354 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: make some some pretty good money here before we have 355 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: to worry about the positioning more defensively. Thank you very 356 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: much for being with us. Expert Savanta phil Orlando, chief 357 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: equity market strategist at Federated. You're listening to Bloomberg Market 358 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: Time pim Fox along with Lisa Bramwitz. This is Bloomberg. 359 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,959 Speaker 1: We're broadcasting live from the Quinnipiac Game eight form educating 360 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: future financial professionals here at the New York Hilton in 361 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: Midtown Manhattan. And one of the things we're gonna have 362 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: to deal with this political risk, Well, how do you 363 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: factor in the resignation of a president's attorney or indeed 364 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: even a replacement as a national security advisor. Well, perhaps 365 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: the first thing might be to call Mark Rosenberg. He 366 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: is the chief executive of geo quant and he can 367 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: be followed on Twitter at geo underscore Quant. Mark Rosenberg, 368 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: thank you very much for being with us. Tell us 369 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: exactly what is geo quant What are you trying to accomplish? 370 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: We what we do is generate high frequency political risk 371 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 1: indicators that measure political risk across the arrangements vectors at 372 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: the same frequency as financial market. So it's increasingly accepted 373 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: that politics pack markets. Um. Political risk is rarely quantified, 374 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: and if it is, it's really done at the same 375 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: frequency as as the market that it impacts. So what 376 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: geo quant does is produced daily as objective as possible 377 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: political risk indicators across each country we cover. Mark, it's 378 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: got to be tough to objectively quantify the risk. Before 379 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: I get into just the specifics of how you do that, 380 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: please bring us up to date. Where are we now? 381 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: We have a lot of turmoil. People are talking about 382 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: the change in the National Security Advisor in Washington, the tariffs. Uh, 383 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: how much has your geo political risk indicators skyrocketed in 384 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: the US? Well, frankly, the indicators haven't moved. All risk 385 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: indicators are off, of course, but they haven't moved that 386 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: much simply because um, the political political risk indicators have increased. 387 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: So much up to this point. I think these events 388 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: are really a symptom rather than a cause of political 389 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: risk in the United States. Political risk is in building 390 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: up for quite a while, and I think up until now, 391 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: or up until that's at least the first court of 392 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: this year, equity markets are they're kind of UM shielded 393 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: from the impacts UM, and now that's no longer the case. 394 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: So I think what we're seeing here, the civilian, the 395 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: Trump administration, the the hawkish ad hoc policy moves, these 396 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 1: are symptoms of a significant build up in political risky 397 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: United States over the past eighteen months that are now 398 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: coming to their well mark. To follow up on a 399 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: Lisa's question, so how do you actually do this and 400 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: how do you assign some statistical measure to what is 401 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: in many cases a qualitative issue. Sure, well, political scientists 402 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,959 Speaker 1: has made significant strides and recent heurs in terms of 403 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: quantifying quantifying previously qualitative concepts. So we do have models 404 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: to use UM just as you as you would in 405 00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: economics and finance, in order to systematize and quantify UM 406 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: the political factors that drive markets and economies. And in addition, 407 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: we have new technology to UM scrape in h what 408 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 1: would be an example I understand all this, but what 409 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: would be an example of of of putting a a 410 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: numerical uh point on a score on on something that 411 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: is h Let's say the change in the head of 412 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: the president national Security advisor. How do you turn that 413 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: into a number? So we we measure a few things 414 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: relevant to that. We measure geo political risk, We measure 415 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: the capacity of the state, We measure the level of 416 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: support in the society for the government. So if that 417 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: move impacts any of those indicators aren't adjust accordingly. So, 418 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: for instance, our risk indicator for the United States increase 419 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: about zero point nine over the past day given recent 420 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: events um and and that's a function of all the 421 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: different elements of politics that are now riskier um as 422 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: a result of re an event. As I said, it 423 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: is not that big because we're already at such a 424 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: high level of this for the United States. If you 425 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: look at our indicator on your Bloomberg, you'll see relative 426 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 1: to history, the United States is already um uh quite high. 427 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: So these events don't move they need all that much. 428 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: So I'm wondering. You know, there's been a big question 429 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: as to how much markets are factoring in this political risk. 430 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: So what's the answer. Well, what we found up till 431 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: now is that photocals because really has been reflected in 432 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: in tarrency markets in particular dollar and and and as 433 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: well asn't rising markets. And I think what you've seen 434 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: over the past quarter is the increasing reflection of photocalist 435 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: and equity markets UM. I think initially as a response 436 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: to UM concerns about inflation, which I think we're alternately 437 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: driven by, you know, a pro cyclical fiscal policy and 438 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: concerned about an overheating economy. And the recontel have also 439 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: been politically driven a nature around central trade policy policy 440 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: shifts that are more protectionists, around the Muller investigation. Yeah, 441 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: I think what you're seeing is that equity markets are 442 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: not waking up to the political risk that have already 443 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: been self and currency and bond market.
