Speaker 1: of Queen Elizabeth the Second. We want to bring on

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: John Authors this morning. He covers Markets, Forest, Bloomberg News. John,

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: thanks so much for taking the time here give us

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: a sense of how the country will mourn the queen

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: over the coming days and I think weeks. Just explain

13
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 1: how the whole process works. Well, yes, this has been

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: a long long planned uh event um like literally from

15
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: bacts decades place. As I understand, if we have ten

16
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: days of morning before the funeral takes place, any coronation

17
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 1: for childs will be in when Elizabeth's face. He wasn't

18
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: crowned until from that sixteen months after she succeeded to

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: suffering said, the coronation is still a ways off. In

20
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: the interim the country basically shut down. So um, that's

21
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: most dramatically Football is pantils or soccer, which really as

22
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: American business. Yeah, it's a very big deal, but um,

23
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't feel right to be going out

24
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:42,919
Speaker 1: and playing playing soccer this weekend, so that disappears. Um. Similarly,

25
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: the last night of the Proms, which is this this

26
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: big music festival in the Albert Hall, um, and the

27
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: last night is um uh you know, a big display

28
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: of patriotism. People waved their Union jack's they see land

29
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: of Hope and glory Jerusalem or that kind of thing

30
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: that's been canceled or I believe the first time since

31
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: the shopping World War. I haven't checked that, but I

32
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: don't think they have. That's another almost imponderable how could

33
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: you possibly not have the last night of the Proms? Um?

34
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: So yes, the country it's very strange in this this

35
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: day and age, because the country still really does close down.

36
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: Um knots of closed today. So if you wanted to

37
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: go take advantage of the strong dollar and you're shopping

38
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: in Region Street, Knox Street, this is not the day

39
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: to do it. They're not going to stay close to

40
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: the full ten days. Um. But a lot of stores

41
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: have just such completely Today, I think the only really

42
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: significant aspects of life that does continue as normal is

43
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: is schools. I think primarily because one of the lessons

44
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: we learned from the pandemic was that of all the

45
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: different things wanted to to shut down during the pandemic,

46
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: it was small closes that put the most. So are

47
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: john are our financial markets expected to be open on

48
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: as regular I can't actually choked on the day of

49
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: the Unity. I'm not. I haven't checked us to as

50
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: do exactly um what the plans are, but you would

51
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: normally expect um. Britain doesn't have as many national holidays

52
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: as most other panties, and it's sort of a convention that, um,

53
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: when there is an event in the royal family, we

54
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: get a you know, we get a day off for it.

55
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: When when Harry and um Will got married, that was

56
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: that was a day off for that, Queen Black and

57
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: jubilably to see those a day off for that. This

58
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: will be a day I mean the day and she

59
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: is actually when when the funeral actually happens, will be

60
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: a local shutdown and day. Of course you can't I

61
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: can't imagine, you know, a good subject the queen, well

62
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: now the king trading through um the Queen's funeral. I'm

63
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: really interested to know what you expect from King Charles

64
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: the Third. He's going to give an address I believe

65
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: in about two and a half hours and um, you know,

66
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: he's been a very outspoken Prince of Wales. But a

67
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: lot of people are saying that that could very much

68
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: change once he's wearing the crown. I suspect it probably

69
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: has to. He does indeed have a very difficult um

70
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: financing position because we don't need to rate over it

71
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: yet again. But certain things we all know about his

72
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: private life, which have even been dramatized in fantastic Netflix

73
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: series and so unmediu that that sensible authority, that mystique

74
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: that his mother had is something that you cannot be

75
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: retrieved of. Him was a big as a person, uh,

76
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: and that is a problem. The fact that he has

77
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: already been around so long um also makes it very

78
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: difficult still seems extremely straight to even be used of

79
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: the word is uh. The idea that he is the

80
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: king now is very difficult for a lot of us

81
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: the stomach. I think he needs to make clear that um,

82
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: he's going to take his his mother as a as

83
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: a as a guiding light that he's he's going to

84
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: try to do things the same way. And I imagine

85
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: we do have William will now get to be the

86
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: Prince of Wales, which will also require zone foreignation ceremony. Uh.

87
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: If I were Charles, I would um trying to maintain

88
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: authority by being quite a quiet figure and really put

89
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: um it's some and he's you know, and his beautiful

90
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: white forwards as the as the people for the nations

91
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: who identify with that, that would work very well. One.

92
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: We only have about thirty seconds left. But I wonder

93
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: if you think this strengthens the union because the Queen

94
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: did pass at Balmoral in Scotland and you know there

95
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: will be a new Prince of Wales. It makes me

96
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: think of the United Kingdom. Um kind of yes, I

97
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: felt like it was falling apart. Does that turn around now? No,

98
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: That's one of the greatest consents for me is that. Uh. Yeah,

99
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: as an English person and I respect to Scotland, I

100
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: really hated the idea that they would leave that they're

101
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: entitled if they want to. I think the sense of

102
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: total loyalty to the Queen may not be there, but

103
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: I think I think this makes it easier to leave. Okay,

104
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: all right, John, great perspective appreciated. John authors. He covers

105
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: markets for Bloomberg News Bloomberg Opinion, UH, as you can

106
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: tell by Zac and he is a British so we

107
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: love getting his perspective here on the news of the

108
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: passing of Queen Elizabeth. A second, I end go that

109
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: is a function Matt turning me onto recently. That is

110
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: a Bloomberg Index browser gives you all the you know,

111
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: the bond fixed income in disease, uh, gives you kind

112
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: of a sense of where they're going. And the US aggregate,

113
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: the Bloomberg US aggregate corporate you know in the index

114
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: is down eleven point five percent on a global basis.

115
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: It's not like, I mean, just brutal, brutal returns in

116
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: the fixed income market. I'm kind of thinking it can't

117
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: get any worse. I'm gonna go in there and buy

118
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: some bonds. Adam Coon's portfolio manager went through Capital Management. Adam,

119
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: what do you think of my call there? I think

120
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: I might be going in on the bondom mark. I

121
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: can't get any worse in it. I mean, it can't

122
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: get worse but from our viewpoint, bonds are the tray

123
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: for the next year. And when you when you look

124
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: at um just kind of where markets are right now,

125
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: we kind see three and a half percent of the

126
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: ten years the peak for this cycle and rates and

127
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: in the long term secular bullet trend to continue. This

128
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: is just kind of a blip and we've gotten pretty

129
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: used to easy returns and fixed income of the last

130
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: ten years, so this should be expected to have a

131
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: sell off. This has definitely been more aggressive than than

132
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: what we expected. But when we look across the universe

133
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: of of corporate bonds, specifically higher grade corporate bonds, we

134
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: we we really like what we see. Um. We've been

135
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: using the phrase kids kids in the candy store, but

136
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean when you're looking at a names like Alphabet

137
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: and Apple trading well but four percent, and then you've

138
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: got Facebook and Meta bonds trading above five. Um. There's

139
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: just a lot of opportunities in the corporate world right now. UM,

140
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: in terms of the indexes or in terms of the

141
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: rapper what what do you like? Do you've owned by

142
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: the bonds themselves? Do you buy a tracking fund? You

143
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: buy e t F? How do you get into that? Trade.

144
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: So so for us, we're we do buy individual bonds

145
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: and specifically we are not shying away from duration right now.

146
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: Uh Over the last several years we have been a

147
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: shorter duration till to cross our strategies. But right now

148
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: we are adding to our A and double A rated

149
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: corporate uh corporate paper by buying individual bonds UM adding

150
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: to the basis now you can add through e t

151
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: F carticular like l q d UM just to get

152
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: corporate exposure is a great way to do it if

153
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: if you don't want to buy individual bonds. But like

154
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: I said, we are looking at adding to duration um

155
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, ten years and now. So when you kind

156
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: of look at at the landscape from a monetary policy standpoint,

157
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: we kind of see there two scenarios and both of

158
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: which we think farewell for interest rates and bonds in general.

159
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: So let's say they act to aggressively and they break

160
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: the economy. Ultimately that's going to lead to a decline

161
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: in interest rates. Or they pivot and say, you know what,

162
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: we've We've done our job and inflation is waning, so

163
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: we're going to pull back and and and may even

164
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: begin to uh cut interrut rates, which the euro are

165
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: your euro dollar curve is thing. They're going to cut

166
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: interest rates in the first quarter, So in either of

167
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: those scenarios, you're going to see interest rates decline. And

168
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: when you look at balance sheets and just credit in general,

169
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: it looks fairly firm and stable. So we don't see

170
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: any credit issues hitting the market, which is why we're

171
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: adding to credit exposure to not only get the duration

172
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: but also the credit spread exposure. Adam, some economists are

173
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: telling me I need to be ready for a recession

174
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: in the not too distant future. So what does that mean.

175
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: I have to actually look at leverage ratios and interest coverage.

176
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: Do I have to be really focused on credit quality?

177
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're if you're a fixing income investors,

178
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: you need you need to understand out of quality. Um.

179
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: But I think where we're at in the cycle, and

180
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: when you look at where spreads of actually widened too,

181
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: you're compensated for that risk right now. So we we

182
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: view right now an asymmetric return profile where the risk

183
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: reward is in favor of going along credit versus a

184
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: year ago when we were if we had this conversation,

185
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: we were struggling to get three percent and spreads were

186
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: an all time type, so it was asymmetric in the

187
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: other direction, where there were in a lot more you

188
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: could squeeze out of the markets, UM, but a lot

189
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: more downside. So we we have run through that cycle.

190
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: Right now, we're looking at the markets, we're seeing that

191
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: this reward you're you're getting for the risk you're taking,

192
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: you are being compensated. I have a listener who wants

193
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: to know what your take is on the volatility we've

194
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: seen in currency, specifically the yen and the Taiwan dollar

195
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: UM and foreign investors reducing exposure to US assets. Yeah,

196
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: I mean I look with the dollar, STRING think that's

197
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: exactly what we should expect. I think that the US

198
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: dollar has kind of reached its maximum of evaluation relative

199
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: to other currencies. So if we see the US economy

200
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: begin to roll over, which there's plenty of evidence for that,

201
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: I think we'll start to see the U S Dollar

202
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: decline on a relative basis, which will move more assets

203
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: back to the U S. So, so that's that's another

204
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: case for Bobs. Alright, Adam, good stuff. Appreciate getting your perspective,

205
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: your thoughts there, Adam Coon's he's a portfolio manager. At

206
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: Winthrop Capital Management, located in beautiful Carmel, Indiana, just outside

207
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: of Indianapolis. Carmel's are very nice burb of Indianapolis. Getting

208
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: his thoughts on fixed income here. Uh, they're pretty bullish here.

209
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: Interesting to see, all right, that's Adam Coon's portfolio manager

210
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: with our capitol manager. Nice kind of little rip here

211
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: to the market. Sharre I wasn't really expecting it. It's

212
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: interesting as well because we had um uh Bullard come

213
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: out and say he's leaning towards seventy five basis points

214
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: to the next meeting that is coming up September twenty one.

215
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: You can always see when the FED meetings are if

216
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: you just type f E d GO on your Bloomberg

217
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: term auld. The same goes for b O E B

218
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: O j E C b b OC Bank of Canada nice,

219
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: which we follow closely here of course, Well they're so

220
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: close exactly. But that is a good one. That's f

221
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: E D go is a good one in the next

222
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: right decision. September twenty one, at two pm Wall Street Time,

223
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: let's check out Ted Oakley, founder and managing partner at

224
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: Oxbow Advisors and a prod alum of the Texas Tech.

225
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: I think their long Long Horns, is that, right, Ted Longhorns?

226
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: The University of Texas Longhorns, University of Texas Long There's

227
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: a very big difference between the University of Texas Texas Tech.

228
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: Is Texas tex a great school? And I know what

229
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: what under God did my undergrad there? It's a it's

230
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: a right engineering school, right, Actually, it's a it's a

231
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: real good college. Excellent. Hey, Ted, what do you I mean?

232
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: You've been around the block a few times here, You've

233
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: seen markets come and go. Um, what do you make

234
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: of these equity markets, these fixed income markets at sixty

235
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: portfolio that a lot of us were kind of brought

236
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: up on. What do you make of that whole concept?

237
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: Given what we've seen so far this year? Well, you

238
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: know what happened on the sixty forty is really it

239
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: came into play where people really got hooked on it.

240
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: You know, the last twelve years or so prior to that,

241
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, you would come and go, but nothing like

242
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: this last time because they could just plug and play

243
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: on sixty and it worked. Now you're in a situation

244
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: where we, like I've seen it many times, where you're

245
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: in a true bearer market and you can't lean on anything,

246
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: and necessarily you've got to be able to be reasonably nimble.

247
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: And you keep going to lower lows and you get

248
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: good bounces like but in July. Maybe you're getting one

249
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: right now, But then they go to lower lows, and

250
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: I think that's what frustrates people the most. And then

251
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: on the bond side, you know, you can have bonds

252
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: raids peak and start down like you did, no aid

253
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: like you did, and no one and the market still

254
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: goes on down. And I think that's what a lot

255
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: of the what I should say the novice, the younger

256
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: players don't understand is that you know, there's a lot

257
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: of things that happened here, nuances that you've gotta do.

258
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: You have to know a little bit about what you're

259
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: doing in this kind of market. What are you expecting

260
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: um in terms of the US stock market over the

261
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: next year, you know, into two into three. I guess

262
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: your FED call is pretty important in that aspect, in

263
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: that in that respect, isn't it? Well? It is. I

264
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: think I think what people forget is that if the

265
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: FIT is serious about keeping you know, the funds rate

266
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: half a point over the inflation, right, we leave interest

267
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: drift back to you know, three and a half or

268
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: four uninflation, you're still you're still well behind on the

269
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: funds rate at two and a half, and on the

270
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: market itself, we're thinking, uh, we think we don't get

271
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: a low in the market until the first or second

272
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: quarter of twenty three more than likely, because it's just look,

273
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: we're nine months end of the year and nobody's ahead

274
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: of the market right now. So there. I don't think

275
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: they can catch up in ninety days. Maybe we're wrong,

276
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: but I've seen it before. It gets hard to do,

277
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: and then they start protecting, and then you go into

278
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: the new year, we think the earnings will be lower.

279
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: Companies are just now coming into what's going to be trouble,

280
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: and then real estate is just now coming into the

281
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: tough part. And we think both of those will come together.

282
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: So what do you do? Well, you gotta hold a

283
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: lot of cash. I mean we hold in our three strategies,

284
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: we hold on average, we hold more than fifty percent

285
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: cash all of them right now. And and when I

286
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: take cash, you know, we're getting on a variable rate treasury,

287
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: which is a ninety day reset. We get three now,

288
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: which is pretty good, you know, fully guaranteed we're getting

289
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: three fifty three sixty on a two year treasury, you know,

290
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: three and a half on eighteen months. We can hold

291
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: it in places and make some money. Um, And we

292
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: don't buy into this idea that well, I don't want

293
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: to hold cash because I can't make any money three

294
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: per cents better than a minus twenty the way we

295
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: look at it, Yeah, exactly, that's where we are. What

296
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: do you typically hold? Ten? Like, what's what would be

297
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: your average cash holding relative to what you're doing now? Well,

298
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: on the stock side, it would be, you know, five

299
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: to seven uh in m BE ten it was a

300
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: little higher last year. We started raising cash in twenty one. UM.

301
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: On the income accounts, we move up and down the

302
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: yield curve, particularly on the bond accounts, and you know,

303
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: we have brought a lot of things in short the

304
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: last two years and now we've actually started just gradually

305
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: moving back out the yield curve some. So it just

306
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: depends on what which strategy it is. Really. How are

307
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: things down in Corpus Christie where you are? Ten, Well,

308
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: I'm in Austin, Corpus Christie, but I'm in Austin. Austin

309
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: is different than any other city in Texas. It's sort

310
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: of like a California city in a way, but for

311
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: better for worse. You got influx of people like crazy,

312
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah it's good or good and bad. Now on the coast,

313
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: uh you know, they're doing okay because they have a

314
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: lot of you know, they have ports and they have

315
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: a lot of the energy is really keeping those sports busy. Houston, Brownsville, Corporus, screw,

316
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: they all keep the sports busy. So they're they're they're

317
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: pretty busy right now. And is it still I mean,

318
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: you know, just being in Texas in general, oil up.

319
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: You know, oil is eight six dollars a barrel. That's

320
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good price historically. How are people feeling

321
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: about energy down there? They feel okay. I think the

322
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: energy people, and I've said this before, they're not very

323
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: good at a sentiment on where they should be. But

324
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: but I will say this, they're a little surprised. I

325
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: think that it's at five. But it doesn't you know,

326
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: I think it's okay. I mean they they can still drill,

327
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,239
Speaker 1: they can still do projects, um that sort of thing.

328
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: Uh Um. I know we're getting ready to purst this

329
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: a personal thing, but I'm getting ready to go into

330
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: a project that we think we'll do pretty well. But

331
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: it's you know, it depends on depends on whether it's

332
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: gas or oil where they are, but generally it's staying

333
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: fairly steady. Yeah, it looks like that way, all right, Ted,

334
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining us. Always appreciate getting your

335
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: thoughts on these markets, your perspective, Ted Oakley. He's a

336
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,239
Speaker 1: founder and manager part of ox Bow Advise. Great new

337
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: movie by the way, called Vengeance, which I rented on

338
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: Apple yesterday, and it's about um kind of you know,

339
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: like an arrogant New York City hipster who goes down

340
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: to Texas for a funeral and he thinks he knows

341
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: everything and they're all country bumpkins. Ye, Robert can't well,

342
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: Founder and portfolio manager of Upholdings, Robert was, was I right,

343
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: are you guys the ones behind the first hedge fund

344
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: to go through a conversion to an e t F structure?

345
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: And if so, why we were? Uh? You know, the

346
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen et F rule adjustments really open the

347
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: floodgates for for active managers to bring their strategies inside

348
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: of e t F s. And the short answer is, um,

349
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: the e t F is the most efficient vehicle in

350
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: the world to manage money. You know, the tax efficiency

351
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: of it, the liquidity and the low fee structure, and

352
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: the access that you get. It was just a no

353
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: brainer for us because if your goal is to maximize

354
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, long term compounded returns to investors, you've got

355
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: to minimize fees and taxes. And you know, we saw

356
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: no other vehicle than that that could beat the e

357
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: t F and doing that, that's not why you run

358
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: a hedge fund. You run a hedge fund again super

359
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: super rich. I mean you're giving away two and twenty Uh.

360
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: You know it makes sense for a buyer of the

361
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: e t F, But what's what's your motivation? It depends

362
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: on your time horizon. You know, I I turned thirty

363
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: nine last week. You know, I've got a thirty year

364
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: investment career ahead of me. And uh, if you the

365
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: more you you backload your your earnings and your winnings,

366
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: that the larger of a firm that you can build.

367
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, our focus is not on extracting

368
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: all the value in the first ten years of running

369
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: this business. It's it's focusing on, you know, the decades

370
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: ahead of us. It's a relatively low expense ratio as well.

371
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking at point six here, Um, that's got to

372
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: be very competitive. How are you doing? So what was

373
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: interesting is, yeah, we looked at the at the when

374
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: we did the conversion, we looked at the history of

375
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: active management, going back to mutual funds in the forties, fifties, sixties, seventies,

376
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: and over any period of time, the long term average

377
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: that you know, investors are willing to pay for active

378
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: management was about sixty basis points. So people were there's

379
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: discussion out there about you know, race to bottom with

380
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: indexes that charge zero, indexes strip charge zero. You know,

381
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: there's no there's no research, there's no management, there's there's

382
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: nothing that's happening underneath the surface. So we thought that

383
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: the fair thing to do was was charged What what

384
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: has been the industry norm now for for almost eighty years.

385
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: What do you think about Amazon? It's a question. Amazon

386
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: has clearly built an incredible company. It's a it's a

387
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: it's a mid size holding in our portfolio right now.

388
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: But but I gotta be honest that um there, Uh,

389
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: capital intensity is a real problem and one of the

390
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: things that we focus really intensely on is what is

391
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: the return on invested capital that companies are generating. So

392
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: when a company has new capital expenditures or new operating expenses,

393
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: what what is the new operating cash flow that has

394
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: generated off of that incremental spend in the in the

395
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: coming years. And the problem with Amazon is that if

396
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: you were to take a Google, every new dollar that

397
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: Google puts in capex, they're generating sixty more cents of

398
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: operating cash flow in the subsequent year. For Amazon that

399
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: numbers about ten cents. And so they are in a

400
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: structurally lower return on invested capital business. And even the

401
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: that's always that's always been the case with Bezos. He's buying,

402
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: he's building these fulfillment centers in all over the country.

403
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: But the stock kind of works. So I kind of

404
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: feel like, I kind of I don't disagree with your math.

405
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: But for some reason Amazon has gotten the benefit of

406
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: the doubt from shareholders because the strategy they can turn

407
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: it seems like they can turn on when they want.

408
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: Don't don't forget. It's not Bezos anymore, right, Jesse. So

409
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: it's basis to make come on, It's like Alphabet and Google. Please.

410
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: So I mean, what do you so. I mean, look,

411
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of investors have have exposure to Amazon,

412
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: whether they realize it or not. Uh, you know, there's

413
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: such a huge component of a lot of indices and

414
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 1: stock stocks work until they don't. And I think that's

415
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: been one of the big reckonings this year is it's

416
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: especially amongst growth investors. They've been shocked at how much

417
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: a couple of percentage points moved in the tenure treasury

418
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: resulted in multiple reratings across growth assets. So Amazon is

419
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: held onto its valuation for now, but eventually the math

420
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: of return on investor capital catch up to your business

421
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: and you need to you need to generate the cashual

422
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: to justify your valuation. And to again, just to pick

423
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: on Amazon for a second, if you're to look ten

424
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: years ago, um, I believe the business was was trading

425
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: for a couple hundred billion dollars and over the last

426
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: ten years the business generated seventy billion dollars of free

427
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: cash flow. So that's a cumultive investment of a long

428
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: period of time. Now they have a one and a

429
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: half trillion dollar valuation, is Amazon gonna deliver at least

430
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: a trillion dollars of three cash flow over the next

431
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: ten years right now, their capital intensity tells you that

432
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: that's probably not gonna happen. So those are the things

433
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: that we focus on. What you love, what's something that

434
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: gets you really excited in the morning, well or all

435
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: day depending well, So there's yeah, there's a couple of

436
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: different ways to make money in the market. There's there's

437
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: investing in the outstanding companies like like an adie end

438
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: that does ended end payments and has that's plugged in

439
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: these little APIs and just gets all this growth. You

440
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: get to be a venture capital investor without having to

441
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: pick amongst all these individual venture companies. So I'd say

442
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: a company like that is one that I'm more excited

443
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: about than just about any company in the world. But

444
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: it's more expensive and you've got to know that or

445
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: expect that they're going to grow even faster than than

446
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: than what the market things. So I'd say that's on

447
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: just quality of business and growth of the industry and

448
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: the differentiations. Technology ad is definitely a tough and at

449
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: the other end of the spectrum, where you know we

450
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: have a very different view than the market is i'd

451
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: say meta. I mean, you talking about companies that are

452
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: considerate more more cash flow than their market cap. It's

453
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: going to be really easy for Meta to generate more

454
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: than four hundred billion dollars of pre cash flow. All right,

455
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: Robert Greig Stuff really appreciated some fascinating discussion near Robert
