Decisive Insights:

 Despite weaker leading indicators, the underlying trend in the global economy
seemingly continues to be positive, making it seem unlikely that the global economy will
slip into a second recession.
 The EU rescue package is likely to provide a boost to the capital markets, although
concerns about the US and its debt problems displaced the relief felt following the EU
summit.
 The artificial growth created through debt and an increasing risk of inflation present
unfavourable conditions for bond investors.
 In spite of the continued uncertainty, we believe that a slight overweight in equities is
advisable. The reasons for this include the attractive valuation of equities versus bonds
and the confidence resulting from the second quarter reporting season

In spite of the continued uncertainty, we believe that a slight overweight in equities is advisable.
