2015 Asset Performance Year to Date
Cycles are out of sync
Monetary and economic cycles vary significantly by country and region and send mixed messages to the markets. In this divergent world, does a global portfolio become more important?
Geopolitics and other factors—such as the business, credit and valuation cycles—should start having a greater impact on markets. This argues for careful, deliberate actions in 2016.
Markets will have to contend with many political uncertainties in 2016
Possible setbacks to the European Union in the face of a refugee crisis and risk of more terror attacks
Rising instability in the Middle East likely to be aggravated by the impact of low oil prices
Regional “zero-sum conflicts” unlikely to be resolved by diplomacy
These risks are playing out against a backdrop of asset prices propped up by years of plentiful liquidity
Abundant liquidity and easy monetary policy can not be relied upon to float all boats
Ever-loosening global financial conditions may be less generous in 2016
How will markets react when U.S. rates begin to rise? Will emerging markets and sovereign wealth funds continue to sell off reserves and risk assets to protect their currencies?
2016 calls for deliberate action

Current vs. Past Recoveries from Recession, 1960-2015
Subpar recovery in the U.S., European expansion beginning to take hold
Sources: BlackRock Investment Institute, IMF, OECD and Thomson Reuters, November 2015. Notes: The financial crises are Finland (1990), Japan (1993), Norway (1988), Spain (1978) and Sweden (1990). The recession range is based on an average of the five best and worst recoveries. The average recession (two straight quarters of contraction) is based on advanced G20 countries from 1960 to 2006. The lines are rebased to 100 at the quarter before the start of each recession.

Sources: BlackRock Investment Institute and Citi Research, November 2015. Notes: The chart displays the three-month average of net changes in assets held by central banks of developed countries. For emerging markets, the chart uses the three-month change in foreign reserves, netting out the effects of U.S. dollar swings. The data exclude the ECB’s long-term refinancing operations and only include net changes in Fed holdings of bonds with maturities of more than five years.

Valuations by Percentile vs. Historical Norm, November 2015
Valuations have leapt ahead of the business cycle in many markets
Sources: BlackRock Investment Institute, MSCI and Thomson Reuters, Nov. 30, 2015. Notes: The percentile bars show valuations of assets as of Nov. 30, 2015, versus their historical ranges. For example, U.S. equities are currently in the 74th percentile. This means U.S. equities trade at a valuation equal to or greater than 74% of their history. The dots show where valuations were a year ago. Government bonds are 10-year benchmark issues. Credit series are based on Barclays indexes and the spread over government bonds. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are represented by nominal 10-year U.S. Treasuries minus inflation expectations. Equity valuations are based on MSCI indexes and are an average of percentile ranks versus available history of earnings yield, cyclically adjusted earnings yield, trend real earnings, dividend yield, price to book, price to cash flow and forward 12-month earnings yield. Historical ranges vary from 1969 (developed market equities) to 2004 (EM$ Debt).

Investment ideas for 2016
European Equities
Hard Currency EM Debt
US Breakevens
Japanese Equities
Real Assets
Attractive valuations; weak Euro, subdued wage growth and expanding domestic credit should support corporate earnings.
Return on equity is rising – dividends at record highs and valuations remain low.
Absolute yields look appealing and valuations have rerated significantly in the last 12 months propelled by commodity price implosion.
Current pricing well below Fed’s inflation target for next 10 and 30 years. Breakevens likely prove less dependent on oil prices and more sensitive to a pick up in core inflation.
Appealing yield profile vs. fixed income and offers diversification benefits.
US Growth Disappoints
China Macro Risk
Geopolitical Risk Intensifies
Momentum Reversals
Curve Balls
Blend Alpha and Beta
The more muted return prospects for traditional assets from here warrant a more thoughtful approach to blending alpha and index in a portfolio.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Bonds and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise and are subject to credit risk, which refers to the possibility that the debt issuers may not be able to make principal and interest payments or may have their debt downgraded by ratings agencies. High yield securities may be more volatile, be subject to greater levels of credit or default risk, and may be less liquid and more difficult to sell at an advantageous time or price to value than higher-rated securities of similar maturity. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, international investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. Investing in alternative strategies such as a long/short strategy, presents the opportunity for losses which exceed the principal amount invested. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
