So what’s changed? Confidence in the restoration of growth and further earnings revisions. 2021 and 2022 should be good recovery years and Emerging Markets should
lead. China, South Korea and India are poised for above-average multi-year growth. Hong Kong and Singapore are service economies with pent-up demand. The region is
further supported by technology investment, consumerism, a weakening dollar and lower geopolitical risks. Asia’s improved growth will help Germany’s export-driven businesses
across the consumer and industrial sectors. We remain constructive on the U.S., as exposures to secular growth sectors like Healthcare and Technology continue compounding
earnings at above-average rates. A broadening of the markets from the mega-caps toward small and mid-cap stocks and cyclical industries, like Industrials and Basic Materials,
seems likely given operating leverage and earnings revisions.

Gold price versus model-predicted value We expect the price of gold to settle around
$/oz $1,900 by end-2021.
After rising around 20% the past two years, we
2200 expect much more muted gold returns moving
forward.
While a vaccine should help boost growth
2000
expectations and yields, we believe there is a limit
to how far real yields, one of the key drivers of
1800 gold, can rise given the Fed’s new flexible average
inflation targeting framework.
Meanwhile, stronger global growth typically sees
1600
the dollar – the other key driver of gold prices –
weaken. We expect these factors to largely offset
leading to a modest appreciation in the year
1400
ahead.
Additionally, an allocation to gold can improve risk-
1200 adjusted portfolio performance by offering an
uncorrelated source of absolute return. The
correlation between gold and equities has

Market pricing depressed short-term interest rates for extended time, how to take
advantage?
We expect short term rates to remain on hold for the next 12–24 months. The market is discounting very modest increases in the Federal Funds Rate for nearly the next 10 years.
A large divergence is evident between the Federal Reserve’s stated neutral rate of 2.5% and interest rate market prices.
We expect longer term rates to move modestly higher, but acknowledge tails risks to both lower and higher rates from longer term economic risks
We consider something in the context of 1.50% on 10yr Treasury Yields as a longer term fair value based on our view of an economic recovery in the latter part of this year,
however given the current situation with Coronavirus and potential longer term economic implications, this view is fairly fluid
We see potential tail risks leading to lower long term rates including significantly slower global growth and modest inflation expectations
Further out we see potential tail risks to higher rates from longer term fiscal policy risks, higher fiscal deficits, and the potential for the Fed to let its policy allow for above target
inflation for a period of time

cash and liquidity products) in certain portfolios.
