1
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 2: We begin with a big issue on Wall Street, twenty

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: five or fifty bonyards falling. Going into this week's finally

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 2: bound at Central Bank meeting. The pim code team writing

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: the post pandemic inflation shock at rate hiking cycle produced

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 2: a generational reset in bond yields. Central banks have largely

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: succeeded in bringing down inflation to two points somethink and

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: a poister begin cutting rates, creating a compelling multi year

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: outlook for global fixed income. I'm pleased to say that

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: the boss over at PIMCO, Many Roman, joins us. Now

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 2: for the next thirty minutes or so, maney, it's going

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 2: to see you, sir.

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 3: Good to see you. Thank you for having me.

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: Put us out of our misery. Twenty five or fifty tomorrow.

15
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: What's it going to Well, we're in the camp of

16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 2: twenty five. But you know, I always say we have

17
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 2: a crystal ball and at the end of the day,

18
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: we'll see what the market does. You know, it may

19
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: very well be that it doesn't make that much of

20
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: a difference. And our view is that there will be

21
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: three cuts of twenty five and at the end of

22
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: the day. What matters is where we are at the

23
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: end of the year. Well, let's talk about the destination.

24
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: This is a three pound act on Wednesdage. You know,

25
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: it's a decision. It's a set of forecasts and a

26
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: news conference and a big conversation around this table for

27
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: the last several months. What's the destination, what are they

28
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: aiming for, what are they shooting for? Where is this

29
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: land in the next eineteen months.

30
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 4: Well, I think you can say that there's less inflation

31
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 4: right now, and that in the absence of new data,

32
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 4: the destination will be to have lower rates, and the

33
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 4: FED would be very data dependent, and I think I

34
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 4: think sometimes one under estimate how careful they are about

35
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 4: new data and how they want to be able to

36
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 4: change their opinion. And so if you kind of use

37
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 4: this framework, you sort of said, let's do twenty five

38
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 4: and then let's see what we are, and then.

39
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: Probably to twenty five and twenty five.

40
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 4: But I think the total sum of the rate cuts

41
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 4: may matter more than how they do it, which is.

42
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: The reason why people are looking forward and saying maybe

43
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: the neutral rates three and a half percent, and oh yeah,

44
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: look at that the two year right now it's about

45
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: three and a half percent. Back in June, when you

46
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: put out the outlook for PIMCO, there was a feeling

47
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: that intermediate bonds really had a fantastic investment proposal proposition

48
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: just simply because there was yield. Do they still after

49
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: the rally we've seen, we still do think so.

50
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 4: And listen, the exciting thing about being at PIMCO right

51
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 4: now is that fixed income is quite attractive.

52
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 3: And you know, we we.

53
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 4: We are in the business of fist and family, right

54
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 4: so when rads are very, very low, it's harder to

55
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 4: be that excited about fixed income. And when you can

56
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 4: build portfolio and get a yell of six six and

57
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 4: a half, you become very excited. And you know, we

58
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 4: very focus on treasury, but the reality is there is

59
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 4: a lot of value in other part of the segment.

60
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: I set back being one of them, and.

61
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 4: You know, we we're excited about what we see. And

62
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, the yield on the

63
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 4: portfolio is a good predictor of the return that the

64
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 4: investor experience. And so what I think is exciting about

65
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 4: fixed income right now is you can build a portfolio

66
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 4: and get a return of sixty six and a half

67
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 4: percent with a serial of different instruments.

68
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: It used to be that bonds did better in bad

69
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: times and worse in good times. Are we heading into

70
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: a worse time where people go to bonds for safety

71
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: or is this on just an absolute basis yields are higher.

72
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 4: My partner Dan ivested, and I'm going to calld him

73
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 4: because because actually he has a.

74
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: Very good line.

75
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 4: Bonds may be the most attractive asset class. And I

76
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: think that there's an absolute argument and then there's a

77
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 4: relative argument. And I think the relative argument is to

78
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 4: say you need to build a port for you. You need equity,

79
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 4: you need fixed income, you need some read to state,

80
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 4: you need.

81
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: Some private asset.

82
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: And at the end of the day, fixed income is

83
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: much more attractive than equity, given the earning yield and

84
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 4: given the evaluation of the equity market. And I think

85
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 4: that's one of the argument for owning a larger part

86
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 4: of fixting come. And I think when I travel the world,

87
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 4: I think that people are under invested in fixed income

88
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 4: and a lot of them are looking at putting more

89
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 4: money into fixed income. And whether they do it tomorrow

90
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 4: or whether they do it two weeks from now or

91
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 4: two months from that, I don't know, But the reality

92
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 4: is people were under invested values part of the fixed

93
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 4: incop market, and they're looking to readjust the allocation.

94
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 2: Have you got confidence we've re established the invest correlation

95
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: between bonds and stocks.

96
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 4: I don't know what I don't know, and I think

97
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 4: correlation filctrate over time. I think that fixed income have

98
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 4: a role in the portfolio construction, and I think they're

99
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 4: there for a reason. But of course credit spread on

100
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 4: the how you market are correlated to equity prices. So

101
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 4: once again, I think one needs to be careful about

102
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: how you frame the question and how you conclude.

103
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: Well, like I said, I mean more specific by saying

104
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: to treasuries, have treasuries re established an invest correlation with equities?

105
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: Because one of the reasts that we've seen established over

106
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: the last few years, particularly given the central focus was inflation,

107
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: is that when bombs sold off, equities did too.

108
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 3: That story we left that hopefully hopefully we have.

109
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 4: But I think remember that we also saw with the pandemic,

110
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 4: really an unpreced edted program of none creation, which sort

111
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 4: of through everything and our economic textbook in terms of

112
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 4: how we thought about the correlation. And so I'm careful

113
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 4: about what I said, because the data are just so.

114
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: Skewed in terms of what we see.

115
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 4: And I think, you know, you can make the argument,

116
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 4: for example, that part of the reason why the US

117
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 4: economy has done so much better than any other places

118
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 4: is that the package in terms of the pandemic has

119
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 4: been so much bigger than another country. And at the

120
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,679
Speaker 4: end of the day, all you can do is cross

121
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 4: sectional analysis and try to compare different country. But there's

122
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 4: so many other valuable that comes into the picture that

123
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 4: you don't want to understate the enormous creation of great

124
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 4: company in the US versus Europe, for example, and so

125
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 4: and so, I think we try to always be careful

126
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 4: about making definitive conclusion when it comes to correlation and

127
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 4: when it comes to cross sectional comparison between different country.

128
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: Another way to frame this question is when you travel

129
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: the world and you talk to international clients who are

130
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: under invested in fixed and come in the United States,

131
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: how many of them turn to you and say, what

132
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: about the US deficit?

133
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 4: Well, my friend and partner Richard Clarida, used this very

134
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 4: American expression and says, the US is make sure I

135
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 4: make sure I get that right.

136
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: Car the cleanest dirty shirt. And you know.

137
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 4: We have debated quite a bit at or forum about deficit,

138
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 4: and you know, deficit do matter, and they do matter,

139
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 4: and at some point in them there's a tipping point,

140
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 4: but we're not there. And the reality is it's a

141
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,559
Speaker 4: huge competitive advantage to be the reserve currency. People need

142
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 4: to own dollars. And the reality is we don't think

143
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 4: there's a crisis coming and that the LEVEL can and

144
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 4: the US can have suddenly a high level of debt

145
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 4: versus historical precedent and be able to function just fine.

146
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 5: When will the US get there? And do you see

147
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 5: either party have any impetus to try to reign and

148
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 5: spending so.

149
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: To quote my partner once again, Leady Countrill, who comes

150
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 4: often here on the show. No, we see no impetus

151
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 4: to try to deal with the budget deficit. The only

152
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 4: real example we have is the United Kingdom. And I

153
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,559
Speaker 4: think that the United Kingdom was actually quite interesting because

154
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 4: you saw a situation where the bond market reacted so

155
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 4: violently to the least trust proposal that all of a

156
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: sudden they had to change, and had to change really

157
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 4: really quickly. And I think I think that this example

158
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 4: of what happened in a very developed country, and how

159
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 4: the Bank of England reacted and reacted really quickly with

160
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 4: the LEDI situation and the pressure in the guilt market

161
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 4: and in the pension market will be a textbook example

162
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 4: of why markets reac act quite strongly when something outrageous

163
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 4: come Well.

164
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 5: We have a Bloomberg survey to that point that says

165
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 5: Kamala Harris her a victory for her in the White

166
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 5: House would be better for treasuries and worse for stocks,

167
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 5: vice versa for the foreign president.

168
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: Would you agree with that scenario?

169
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 4: I think, I think there's so many unknown you know,

170
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 4: it depends, it depends on what happened in the House.

171
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: It depends on what.

172
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 4: The winner can do in terms of program how this

173
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 4: is all going to pan out. I would be very

174
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 4: careful about making any any prognosis on this on this matter,

175
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: I think, you know, when we when we think about

176
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 4: the world, you know, I realized politics is really important.

177
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, that's not how

178
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 4: we invest. We invest because we find value and we

179
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: find opportunity, and we try to bat cheap, and we

180
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 4: try to manage portfolio and think about risk carefully and

181
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 4: ride different cycle and and and deal with many other

182
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 4: factor than politics. And you know, there's a few exceptions

183
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 4: if you talk to my partner from ALDA one in

184
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 4: emerging market, all of a sudden in emerging market sometimes,

185
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 4: but it do really matter because they are.

186
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 3: Very big changes and very big different outcomes.

187
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 2: The struggle money as you notice that some dms have

188
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: traded like ems over the last few years. And you

189
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 2: mentioned the UK. So I won't put words in your mouth,

190
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: I do want your views. Well, it does feel like

191
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: a self imposed debt break in the United Kingdom, and

192
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: I'm wondering whether from your perspective, for even the team

193
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: that actually makes UK government a little bit more attractive here.

194
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 3: We think it's very attractive. We like the UK, We

195
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:34,599
Speaker 3: like Australia.

196
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 4: We think that the UK fits very well in the portfolio,

197
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 4: and they will need to cut and cut rates significantly.

198
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 4: And so when you think of a global outlook, the

199
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 4: UK looks good for a fixed income.

200
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: Investor relative to the United States, say in terms of

201
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 2: duration risk.

202
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 4: Relative to other countries in Europe, certainly compared to European bonds.

203
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: We also like the US.

204
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 4: So you know, if I want to kind of sum

205
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: up things, you know, we like the U ways, we

206
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 4: like the UK, well like Australia.

207
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: Man, I want to come back to the bond market

208
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 2: and just talk about a dynamic. This start to really

209
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 2: take hold over the last month or so the two

210
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: year ten year segment of the yield curve. Things just

211
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 2: starting to normalize, but the steepness almost back to double

212
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: figures this morning. As we get that curve normalization. Can

213
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: you walk me through how much things change in fixed

214
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: income Whether you're starting to see that cash deployed a

215
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: little bit more.

216
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 4: Well, I think there's that, And of course people kind

217
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 4: of look at the cash they have on the sideline

218
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 4: and there's about ten trillion dollars of money in cash

219
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 4: where they will think to reinvested, either by extending duration

220
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 4: or by going longer, or by taking a bit more

221
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 4: credit risk. So there is a wall of money out there,

222
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 4: and I keep on saying this, and of course some

223
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 4: of it is cash corporate and will remain cash corporate.

224
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 4: But I think people have been very much on the

225
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 4: sideline rolling short term treasury bill and this money will

226
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 4: get redeployed and how fast and how.

227
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 3: Remains to be seen.

228
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 4: The other thing which I think you may find interesting

229
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 4: is they are a lot of opportunity in relative value

230
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 4: in the fixed inker market, and in particular think of Japan.

231
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 4: You know, nothing happened in Japan for fifteen years, and

232
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, we now have positive rates

233
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 4: in Japan, and there's a lot of haarbitrush to be done.

234
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 4: It's across the curve, it's with swap, it's with different

235
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 4: instrument and all of a sudden, they are sources of alpha,

236
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 4: as we tend to call them, where basically they didn't

237
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 4: exist two years ago, which have come back to the

238
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: market in Spain. How long it lasts, we'll find out,

239
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 4: but it should be a very exciting opportunity in terms

240
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 4: of the whole market, in terms of delivering better performance.

241
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: How difficult is it to pry that cash out of

242
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 1: people's cold hands, given the fact that people really do

243
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: like what they're getting. And oh, by the way, there

244
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: are fifteen other fund managers out there also trying to

245
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: get them to pry that cash out of their hands.

246
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 4: Well, I will tell you competition is good. Is good

247
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 4: for everybody. And at the end of the day, there's

248
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 4: two things there is when the FED cuts rate, eventually

249
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 4: the short end of the curve becomes less attractive, and

250
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 4: I think you'll see cash moving.

251
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 3: And from a.

252
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 4: Competitive standpoint, we want to do the best possible job

253
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 4: in terms of big and fiduciary and doing a good

254
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 4: job in terms of performance and being there for our clients.

255
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 4: And we compete every single day and hopefully we'll win

256
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 4: more than we lose.

257
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: But all we can do is trial best and we

258
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 3: try very hard.

259
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: Where's the edge, where's sort of growth concentrated in or

260
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: is trying to be concentrated with respect to PIMCO in

261
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: the say five years ahead.

262
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 4: Well, Asia has been quite exciting lately, and there's a

263
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 4: lot of things happening in Asia, and you can sort

264
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 4: of think of our business as being linked to GDP

265
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 4: in terms of the saving rates and people when they

266
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 4: save more, invest more. And so Asia has been quite exciting.

267
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 4: And the US is an absolutely wonderful place. I mean,

268
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 4: it's a big market and there's a lot to be done.

269
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 4: We have a very good Canadian business, we have a

270
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 4: very good Latin American business.

271
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: There's a lot of good things happen.

272
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 4: But the one variable we don't control is of course

273
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 4: the macroeconomic situation. And so if you have a real

274
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 4: reversal and you have, for example of a session, and

275
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 4: let me just say it's not our scenario, but if

276
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 4: you have a real recession, people loocome more discoversed and

277
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 4: take some money away. And at the end of the day,

278
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 4: you know we here for the next twenty years, not

279
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 4: for the next twenty minutes. And so you know we

280
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 4: have very liquid portfolio. People can take the money whenever

281
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 4: they feel like and reinvest and so on. And we

282
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 4: understand that people need money for all.

283
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 3: Sorts of reasons.

284
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: There are a number of behemoth asset managers. PIMCO overseas

285
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: one point eight trillion dollars.

286
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: How much bigger could you see it getting? It's all

287
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: about performance.

288
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 4: And I always say the great thing about not being

289
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 4: public and not having to give quarterly earnings is you

290
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 4: focus on what matter. The circle of truth is if

291
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 4: you perform, they will come.

292
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: You said this last form we spoke, but it's an

293
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: success by assets. We measure our success by the returns

294
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: we provide. Does it disappoint you? Is it slightly upsetting

295
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: that people do measure your success by assets because they've

296
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 2: been pretty stable now for the last decade. Black rock

297
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 2: over the same period has multiplied. Is that disappointing to

298
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: you that people junctually have that.

299
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 4: I think we have a very different business model, and

300
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 4: you know we were talking about Onemarth. We don't want

301
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 4: to build waldmart Onemar is a fantastic company, but we

302
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 4: have an opportunity set where we very carefully think about

303
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 4: capacity and how much money we can put to work

304
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 4: and what the right target return are for investors. And

305
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 4: I think that by definition means that we won't be

306
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 4: the largest asset manager and still be it when.

307
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: It comes to asset management. Private markets comes up all

308
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: the time and everyone's trying to make their own push.

309
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: What does Pincock fit into that big push at the

310
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: moment into private markets?

311
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 4: So we we try to we try to focus on

312
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 4: what we know how to do, and what we know

313
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 4: how to do is fixed incum and so that includes

314
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 4: as a matter of fact, everything which has to do

315
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 4: with private market and fixed income, and it also involves

316
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 4: real estate and there's a big realistate cycle that should

317
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 4: be exciting. There will be pieces to pick and there

318
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 4: will be cheap investment, both in debt and inequity and in.

319
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: The private credit market.

320
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 4: There's quite a unique opportunity in asset backed lending. That's

321
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 4: where my friend Dan Iverson grew up in. We have

322
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 4: been doing this for twenty years and the one thing

323
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 4: which has changed, so to speak, is the banks need

324
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 4: to free up capital and so they need to sell

325
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 4: large portfolio of many different assets and do it fairly quickly.

326
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,479
Speaker 3: That's an opportunity for us.

327
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 4: And so if they are good entry point and good

328
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 4: asset to pick, we should be able to do quite well.

329
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: What types of assets are talking about? Commercial? Are you

330
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: going to be on residential?

331
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: Slash all bonds? Banks?

332
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 4: Let me just focus first on fixed income.

333
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: You know, I think in fixed income there's a lot.

334
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 4: To buy, and there's a lot to buy because the

335
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 4: banks need to deliver. And so the banks, you can

336
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 4: think about what they have on the balance sheet. They

337
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 4: have loans that they've given to company and they want

338
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 4: to get rid of it and so they sell it

339
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 4: to us, and that I think is very straightforward. In

340
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 4: real estate, you have a real estate cycle and there

341
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 4: will be different things you can do. There will be

342
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 4: some will need pref equity, some will need debt, some

343
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 4: will need to buy equity, and we just need to

344
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 4: make sure that it's cheap enough and that we think

345
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 4: carefully about what happens and make sure we have an

346
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 4: expected return which compan set it for the risk, and

347
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 4: it needs to be high because it's a lot of

348
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: risk in commercial real estate, for example. But we had

349
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 4: a pretty fast cycle and hopefully we're going to be

350
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 4: on the right side of the trade coming out of it.

351
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: We've only got sixty seconds left with you. So the

352
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: hardest question of the morning. What's more likely Arsenal winning

353
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: the title or the Federal Reserve engineering a soft landing.

354
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 3: Arsenal winning the title also one.

355
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: Of the titles should I read into when I think

356
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: about your real views on the economy?

357
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 3: Then, based on now you just the counsle Is that good? No?

358
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 3: You should? You should think about Arsenal? No, I think Look, Look,

359
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 3: I think I think people.

360
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 4: Are very people are very sometimes criticized the fat I

361
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 4: think they do. They do a really really good job

362
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 4: with a very difficult hand to play, and and and

363
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 4: you know, they don't know what they don't know at

364
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 4: the end of the day. And I think, I think

365
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 4: it has been a tremendously complicated market to navigate for

366
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 4: everybody over the past four years. None of us, none

367
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 4: of us have so thought we would see a pandemic.

368
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 4: And you know, from the investment standpoint and from a

369
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 4: regulatory standpoint, and from the FED standpoint, I.

370
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 3: Think we we have to learn a new playbook.

371
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 2: It's been humbling for a soul. Money, It's good to

372

00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,600
