Words of Wisdom
Six years ago, many investors were way out over their skis.
Giant financial institutions were brought to their knees. The
survivors pledged to themselves that they would forever be
more careful, less greedy, less short-term orientedCan we
say when it will end? No. Can we say that it will end? Yes.
And when it ends and the trend reverses, here is what we can
say for sure. Few will be ready. Few will be prepared.

MCCM Tactical Asset Class Positioning May 2013
Asset Class Stance Commentary
Domestic Equity = Valuations high; Profits Challenged; Defense best
International Equity + J apan momentum, ECB supporting Europe, EM ?
Opportunistic Equity + Long/Short strategies should extract dual Alpha
Absolute Return = ZIRP still challenging; True Arbitrage attractive
Real Estate + EM Development; Distressed, Niche Strategies
Energy & NR = Public markets battling $, Private markets best
Private Equity ++ Growth Capital in EM, Small LBO & VC best
Domestic FI = Volatility rising, Some value in Deflation hedge
Enhanced FI = Direct Lending Attractive, Spread Product at risk
Current MCCM Tactical Positions
