CHINA EXTERNAL VS. INTERNAL DEBT2003 to 2014

External debt in foreign currencyNon-financial sector domestic debt

The vast majority of Chinese debt is held within China. This means there is less chance of contagion and the government has more control if it decides intervention in credit markets is necessary.

Policymakers are motivated to maintain healthy growth rates and have the tools to do so, buoyed by huge cash reserves and the ability to manipulate interest rates and reserve requirements.

Conclusion: Keep Return Expectations Moderate

U.S. economy on relatively solid ground, rest of the world at different stages of economic cycle.

Expect greater volatility in the equity markets, which will create new set of opportunities. Fair valuations and already-high profit margins limit the upside.

Earnings will ultimately dictate equity market direction and there is room for positive surprises as energy prices and currencies stabilize.

Emerging market stocks relatively cheap—though opportunities are country- and company-specific.

Focus on disruptive business models attacking huge profit pools.

Fundamental analysis and active management more important than ever.

Expect Heightened Volatility Amidst Greater Divergences
