4 We Are Not Surprised by the Increased Volatility in the Global Markets We anticipated slowing global growth, divergent monetary policies, impact of regulation and increased market volatility “In the past 12 months, since the Fed's balance sheet has remained flat, fiscal policy stagnant and revised tax policy nowhere to be found, these fundamental market and macroeconomic indicators not only continue to flash red but each measure has increased in volatility while deteriorating significantly. US and European yields have grinded anywhere from 15% to 40% lower, with 30% of European sovereign debt now having negative yields, around $1.9 trillion worth. Oil prices have continued to fall another 40% since this time last year. On a year-over-year basis, Chinese GDP growth is now below 7% for the first time since 1999. Last week's US GDP number was more than 30% lower than the revised level…” - Kevin Keyes, Q3 2015 Earnings Call (November 5, 2015) “…following three purchase programs that have brought the Fed’s balance sheet to $4.5 trillion, there are numerous red lights flashing in the global markets, including the 10-year US treasury that are flat to four years ago, European yields at the lowest they've been in hundreds of years, oil prices at a 3-year low, Chinese GDP growth at a 5-year low and the latest year quarterly GDP number… can easily be dissected as evidence of an underperforming business sector.” - Kevin Keyes, Q3 2014 Earnings Call (November 6, 2014) “U.S. rates are 100 basis points above the rest of the G7 countries and that puts downward pressure on our own interest rates and could lead to further flows into the U.S. market… But at the end of the day, our economy is doing rather well, particularly relative to Europe and Japan. And we are at a very different stage in the monetary policy cycle than those countries. So there's arguments to be made for lower rates and also arguments to be made for higher rates, and we have to think about all of those scenarios and manage the portfolio in a fashion that strikes the best balance.” - David Finkelstein, Q1 2015 Earnings Call (May 7, 2015) “During our earnings calls over the past few years, we have shared specific views on the cause and effects of QE, its muted impact on the global economic landscape, contrasted with the unprecedented influence it has had on almost every asset class and market for securities. We've also asserted our belief that the relative calm amidst this supply/demand liquidity imbalance was rapidly coming to an end in the form of a more consistent volatility, as global monetary policies diverge.” - Kevin Keyes, Q1 2015 Earnings Call (May 7, 2015) Source: Company Earnings Transcripts.
