Global backdrop
As at August 2016
18
► Low growth, not no growth
► Some signs of increasing momentum
– Global PMI data
– EM dark spots brighten
► Escape velocity
► Inflation not a near-term issue
► Aggressive monetary policy support continues
2015 2016 2017
USA 2.40% 1.90% 2.00%
Europe 1.70% 1.50% 1.30%
Japan 0.60% 0.60% 1.00%
Global 3.10% 3.10% 3.00%
► 52% to 48% (with 72.2% turnout) do not believe that the UK should be part of the European
Union
► Forty plus years of UK economic, domestic and foreign policy “turned on its head”
► GBP currency the “whipping boy” of the markets
► GBP currency the “saviour” of the markets
► Commercial (London) real estate at the epicentre of the storm
► Initial volatile reaction short lived
► Aggressive recovery based on lower bond yields and central bank action impressive
► “Brexit means Brexit” – but when …??
Brexit Referendum : 23rd June 2016
19
► Brexit a UK only economic shock. Period of no UK growth likely
► Europe staggers on
– Germany, Spain
– France, Italy
► USA – companies and economy ignore the politicians
– US to grow at 2.5% annualised in H2
► China quietly devaluing and attempting rebalance
► Japan … no worse than we are accustomed to
► Emerging economies OK
► Central banks go all in on quantitative easing AND private sector asset purchases
Economic Outlook : H2 2016 into 2017
20
► Government bonds expensive
► Long end of curves threatened by fiscal policy pivot
► Credit markets manageable, and extra yield attractive
► Equity no more volatile than long government bonds
► Equity income attractive
► Geopolitics an ever present headwind – “Events, dear boy, events”
– EU migration issues
– Near and Middle East conflicts
– South China sea
– US election
– Run into French presidential elections
– Italian constitutional vote
– Brexit tensions and disquiet
Market Outlook : H2 2016 into 2017

► “Brexit”
– So far Brexit looks like a local not a global event so far
– Response to Brexit may be global; more QE and “lower for longer”
► Policy action
– US Federal Reserve only CB with rate hike potential over next year
– Less “road to run” for monetary policy – but still dominant factor
– Politics may trump QE with increasing demand for fiscal loosening
► Structural demand
– Structural demand of fixed income globally undiminished
– Corporate bonds (and US) key components for positive yield portfolio

Multi Asset current portfolio themes
As at 31 July 2016
► Active asset allocation enhances returns
and lowers risk through selecting lowly
correlated sources of return
► Scarcity of truly defensive assets with
valuation appeal
► Anticipating the next concern – US
elections, revisiting China or an “unknown
unknown”?
► Rotation into previously disliked parts of
the credit market, EM already performing,
Bank Credit attractively valued
► Brexit uncertainty impacting Sterling and
Euro assets leading to flight to defensives
and quality, not just a short-term issue
► Dependable income and growth are as
pertinent investment strategies as ever,
yield a powerful growth strategy in itself
► Investor concern shifting from EM to DM,
particularly Europe, creating opportunity
for better EM performance
► Selective alternative exposure delivers
diversification and attractive risk/return;
partly via illiquidity premia
