Market Outlook
Interest Rates The interest rate genie is out of the bottle. A combination of the Federal Reserves announced tapering plan and increasing capital velocity are setting the stage for rising interest rates. Equities Favored Asset Class Central banks are printing currency which disadvantages the owners of bonds but they cannot print the real assets. Equities represent an ownership interest in real assets. Confidence is Expanding Rising home values in the U.S. is boosting consumer confidence, while printed currency drives up valuations in the financial markets. End of the Commodity Super Cycle Chinas commodity demand is falling off, while at the same time technology investments continue to grow available supply. Manufacturers will benefit from a lower material costs. Low Growth Creates a Cost Focus - In the absence of revenue and wage growth, companies and consumers are very cost sensitive. This creates demand for low price leaders, software and automation. This, in turn, is enhancing U.S. competitiveness as technology enhances productivity.

A Global Perspective
The peace of mind and performance that comes from active management.
A key tenet of Blue Points active management strategy is to lower volatility. You may ask, how can that be? After all, equity markets are volatile. Blue Point uses cash as an asset class. In rising equity markets Blue Point tends to sell. This leads to underperformance and risk reduction at the top of an equity market cycle. By taking profits at the best of times, there is a store of value that can be converted to equity ownership at more favorable prices. Does this strategy always work? No, portfolio insurance can come with a cost in a rising market. The historic value-add of this risk reduction has been powerful. For example following the collapse of Bear Sterns, Blue Point exited financial service stocks. Fifteen days prior to the Lehman bankruptcy, Blue than an 11% cash position. This will be used opportunistically to add promising investments. The market is ahead of fundamentals, and world growth is slowing. The knock-on effects of sequestration and tax increases are becoming more apparent. The potential for a 5-10% correction and a buying opportunity is increasingly likely. If you have not done so already now is a good time to invest in sustainable growth through a diversified equity portfolio that is actively managed. Client Profile
