2016 May 2016 Commentary
• After a rocky start to the year, almost all major asset classes have continued to respond positively into the second quarter and are positive year-to-date.
• The month began with investors speculating the Federal Open Market Committee might raise rates in June however this expectation was quickly quelled as US job growth numbers fell short of expectations and inflation remained well short of the Fed’s 2% target.
• US equity returns were modestly positive in May as investors digested mostly lukewarm economic data.
– The S&P 500 returned 1.8% and the Russell 2000 gained 2.3% on the month.
• The prospect of rising rates sent a scare through emerging markets as the MSCI EM Index declined 3.7% and was primarily driven by falling equity prices and currency depreciation in Latin American. This decline was also felt in local currency debt as the JP Morgan GBI-EMGlobal Diversified Index fell 5.4% in May but remained up 7.7% on the year.
• US fixed income returns were mostly neutral as the 10 year Treasury yield increased one basis point to 1.84% on the month and the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index was flat.
• US high yield issues saw continued marginal spread compression and returned 0.6% as represented by the Barclays US Corporate High Yield Index.
• The Citigroup WGBI Index fell 1.5% as government bond yields in developed countries continued to move slightly higher and the US dollar rallied.

2016 Capital Markets Key Themes
• US economic cycle and US central bank policy are at the forefront of major cyclical and secular forces informing our Assumptions and Actions
– These factors interact to create a supportive environment for risk assets in the near term but ultimately push long term capital market forecasts lower relative to history
• The US economy is nearly 7 years removed from the previous recession but the health of US consumers can extend the expansion
– Prolonged US economic cycle has the potential to push the US dollar higher
• Persistent US Dollar strength tightens global monetary conditions and materially weakens the US corporate earnings profile
– A strong dollar strains international borrowers with dollar based debt– Outsized credit growth in Asia, specifically China, at risk from a stronger US dollar
• Influence of central bank policies in the developed world remain broadly supportive for risk assets but come with long term effects
– US policy is slowly diverging from Europe and Japan but gradual expected pace of hikes provides a positive backdrop for US equities and credit in the near term
– Extraordinary central bank measures from Europe and Japan continue to expand and support a strong bias to equities in these markets
Key Themes
6
• US economic expansion continues as Federal Reserve begins policy shift– Economic conditions and health of US consumers remain supportive for growth– US Corporate earnings quality has weakened under pressure from profit margin declines
• Central Banks continue to dictate the global investment outlook– Subdued market expectation of Fed action over next 36 months; a surprise Fed rate
increase poses risk to both US equities and interest rates– ECB and BoJ likely to maintain and expand accommodative monetary policies– Easing in China is broadly stimulative in the near term but currency policy is unpredictable
• Rise of political populism fuels equity and currency market uncertainty– Populist movements are destabilizing for the established political and economic order
posing a risk for the cohesion of the European Union and global trade relationships– However, elevated risk offers an opportunity should market sentiment be overly pessimistic
• Large currency adjustments across most emerging countries have provided a foundation to support improved capital market returns
– Continued political and economic reform is needed across EM to stimulate economic growth– Chinese Yuan (RMB) depreciation has been incremental relative to other EM FX adjustments
and fears of further adjustment remain an over-hanging concern
• Embrace illiquidity in opportunistic credit and private credit strategies – Stressed credit liquidity magnifies the scale of price movements in traditional credit assets– Credit markets ability to absorb an exodus from crowded positions is challenged
