1 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Surveillance. I don't want to be complainant. 2 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: There are things the world should be worrying about, but 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: it's just not as bad a world. If some people 4 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: are saying for what most families care about, it's not 5 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: GDP growth or the size of the economy as a whole. 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: That's how they're doing. Real capital investment is gray below average. 7 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: Why because businesspeople are very uncertain in our future. Bloomberg 8 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 1: Surveillance your link to the world of economics, finance, and 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: investment on Bloomberg Radio.

Girls? 35 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, you could you get a black book 36 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: from bursting your your girl magnet. Tell me about single 37 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: digit world. This is something that's a huge focus. It 38 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: seems to me that all of our audiences are unprepared. 39 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: After oh nine in the Bull market for a single 40 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: digit world. Is it going to be a low single 41 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: digit world? I think it is for some time and um, awkwardly, 42 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: in many parts of the world, if you're investing in 43 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: sovereign bonds, it's a negative single digit So that that's 44 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: a very tip. That's a trying environment, especially because volatility 45 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: is apt to be elevated for some time as well, 46 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: and the combination of relatively lower turns with relatively high 47 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: volatility is going to be uncomfortable. There is an enormous 48 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: We have been through a couple of waves of enormous volatility, 49 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: and you're suggesting, Um, that's not over with. What's driving that? 50 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: If I want to look at what's going to you know, 51 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: to predict what's coming, what do I want to look at? Well, 52 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: I think that the fundamentals in the long run and 53 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: are always what matters, and in the short run it 54 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: tends to be sentiment. And the problem that we have 55 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: right now is that the fundamentals um are actually okay 56 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: and much of the world, actually in the United States 57 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: we have moderate growth, and much of the rest of 58 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: the world it's anemic, but still it's growing. Um that 59 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: I think the problem is that people are so uncertain 60 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: about what lies ahead over the horizon, and over the 61 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: horizon matters more than ever because remember, markets discount of 62 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: future when interest rates are very very low, you're effectively 63 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: discounting further out into the future at a time when 64 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: it's harder to see what's out there. What issues are 65 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: driving sentiment right now? What's the major concern for investors 66 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: that they're watching. Well, one problem is there isn't one 67 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: major concern. People are really worried about what's happening in 68 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: energy markets. I think they've overestimated how much that feeds 69 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: directly through to the rest of the economy, but they 70 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 1: believe it and it becomes self fulfilling. They're very worried 71 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: about its Central banks are doing exactly as Tom said, 72 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot of lack of clarity about exactly how 73 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: these policies will play out with this big divergence between 74 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: the u US, which is clearly trying to tighten, and 75 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: the rest of the world, which is trying to stimulate, 76 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: and nobody knows if either of those will working. But 77 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: then how do you synthesize single digit organic revenue grows 78 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: at the top line with somehow grossing it up to 79 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: decent margins down the income statement. To me, the only 80 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: answers this dreaded ugly word synergy where it's all of 81 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: star wars today it's almost a merger frenzy is the 82 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: only way to create alpha. I think it's very company specific. 83 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: I think that's going to be one of the big 84 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: themes in the years ahead, which is the you know, 85 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: the last five or six years of this amazing stock 86 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: market boom um, it was enough to just basically buy 87 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: an index or any tf and but I think the 88 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: next five to seven years are going to be really 89 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: about being very selective and choosing the companies. Well, you 90 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: don't do companies. But is Jeff mmel on the right 91 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: track with a reindustrialization of General Electric. I think it's 92 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: really about the company by company, any choice of what 93 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: is your competitive advantage and also do you have the 94 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: right um balance sheet strategy and the right people to 95 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: make it happen. It's you know, there's not there's not 96 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: one ingredient that's going to be correct for everybody. Um. 97 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: There are also some sectors that are going to be 98 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: structurally much more challenged than others. Obviously, energy right now 99 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: is really in this array that's gonna take some time 100 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: to resolve. UM. You know you you want to look 101 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: for companies that are well positioned in industries that have 102 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: a bit of a tail and and uh, and we 103 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 1: think that there are lots of opportunities today because the 104 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: massive flows out of active and inter passive have UM 105 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: I think created more irrational pricing at the stock level 106 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: than we've seen in sometimes. Well, I want to ask 107 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: you that is how far off are valuations from reality 108 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: in this world? If you look in aggregate, I think 109 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: the market is reasonably priced. It's a little bit above 110 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: historic averages. But then again inflation is low and the 111 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: discount hit is low. So those two things more or 112 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: less offset. The problem, though, is risk is high and 113 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: you're not actually being paid enough we think to take 114 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: the additional risk that you have today in stocks. So 115 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: in our portfolios, which we manage with a dynamic tilt, 116 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: we actually are slightly underweighted in stocks. And here's the reasoning. 117 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 1: If you think about what a person with a balanced portfolio, 118 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: say about sixty stocks forty cent in bonds is really 119 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: trying to achieve, you can think of it as a 120 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: risk target. Because of sixty forty portfolio like that historically 121 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: has had a risk that averages something like an eight 122 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: to eleven of volatility per year. But in today's environment, 123 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: you're actually taking more risk than that range if you 124 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: sit at your normal sixty forty allocation. So we adjust 125 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: clients allocations to keep them in that risk range that 126 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: they originally signed up for, and that means we'd be 127 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: selling underweight stocks from that risk perspective, but within that 128 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: we'd be taking a fair amount of concentration exposure in 129 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: the stocks we think are most attractive. Because we do 130 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: think there are these it's really important you're gonna take 131 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: a concentration exposure. You and I remember Fidelity fifty just 132 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: one idea of fun. It was unheard of to be 133 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: that non diversified. But if you say you're gonna migrate 134 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: sixty down to a lesser stock, do you just assume 135 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: more bonds? How do you get there? Well, you have 136 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: a number of choices. Right now, we would slightly overweight bonds, 137 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: and also it depends on which you know we would 138 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: be overweight in certain parts of the world. Like example 139 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: is how the overweight Japanese stocks because we think they're 140 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: cheaper and more diversifying than other flavors of stocks, but 141 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: we would be slightly tilted into bonds, and and we 142 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: do think it's a time when it's worth having diversifying 143 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: assets as well. Is cash an asset? Um? Yeah, you 144 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: can think of cash as effectively a very very short 145 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: duration asset. The problem is right now, um, it's not 146 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: very attractive. After all, there is inflation which is running 147 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: at somewhere between one and a half and two percent, 148 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: and so you're guaranteed to lose purchasing power when you 149 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: hold cash. Is cash an asset in negative right countries? 150 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: It's a really great question. That's my existential question for 151 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: the months. The problem is how do you actually invest 152 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: in it, apart from just being like screwed mcdou and 153 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: having a swing pool full of gold coins or yeah, 154 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: so what do you do with cash in the meantime? 155 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: I mean you don't get paid for that either, right, 156 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: So we actually don't think it's a great idea to 157 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,679 Speaker 1: have a huge amount of money sitting on the sidelines. 158 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: I think what you should do is have a long 159 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: term plan that acknowledges that returns will be lower, but 160 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: they still will be positive. We don't think that this 161 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: is a terrible environment. It's just anemic growth with many 162 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: companies being challenged, so that the issue is to have 163 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: a long term plan that takes that low industry and 164 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: and UH and rate of return on stocks into account, 165 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: but still gets you to the long term objective you're 166 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: looking for and then trying to implement it really smart 167 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: by not just being discriminated about buying in debt. I 168 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: was just a herd right now is US large multinationals 169 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: large caps? Can you go the other way and find 170 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: value in emerging markets of some flavor? Great question, and yeah, 171 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: I think there's actually a very good argument now for 172 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: trying to find some of the areas that were most 173 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: irrationally beat up during the period of UM. So you 174 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: go for true value what Brazilian commodities tax versus a 175 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: bank in the Philippines. Well, there's a real problem in 176 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: some sectors because people aren't always wrong when they think 177 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: that things are bad. So in Brazil there really are 178 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: some very deep structural problems UM and many of the 179 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: Brazilian commodity companies UM actually won't necessarily recover quickly. But 180 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: to to our way of looking at it, there are 181 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: lots of specific opportunities in UM. In emerging markets in 182 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: small cap um. We would therefore want to be fully 183 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 1: exposed there um it would be as a little bit 184 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: underweight in large cap us as you suggest, but we 185 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: still think there are some interesting stories there too.
