A primer on how equity supply can Influence returns

October 18, 2018 | City Talk

Like any good or service, we think share prices—whether of an individual public company or a national or global equity market index—rise and fall based on the interaction between supply and demand. In the relatively near term—which we define here as the next 3 – 30 months or thereabouts—our research indicates demand tends to be [...]

Why broadening your definition of risk might prove beneficial

September 24, 2018 | City Talk

Risk. Many financial commentators and industry professionals agree it is one of the most important considerations for any investor. In our review of financial media, we see near-constant coverage of it—particularly the risk of loss. Commentary often dwells on the potential for current events to drive equity market declines, warning risks lurk. We, too, [...]
Stocks care about policy, not personalities

August 6, 2018 | City Talk

Chaos in the Trump White House! First, Gary Cohn resigned as Director of the National Economic Council. A couple days later, President Trump fired Foreign Minister Rex Tillerson. Then we saw Scott Pruitt also step down. Some claimed these losses would cause markets to lose confidence in the administration. Hogwash! These are examples of some [...]
Funny thing about those inflation fears

June 27, 2018 | City Talk

Inflation! A topic that is commonly on everyone’s mind. In February 2018, pundits shrieked rising wages meant that the world economy was overheating. Rising interest rates to come! Analysts blamed price fears for stocks’ decline. Yet one month later, when new data showed no inflation spike, no one cared. Weird! But typical of corrections. Volatility [...]
Hold tight when volatility strikes

June 6, 2018 | City Talk

Ouch! At the end of March the FTSE 100 had its worst day since the end of 2016. The rally since then, however, demonstrates that you should fight the urge to sell during these short pullbacks. Bull markets die with a whimper, not a bang. Big bounces usually follow sudden selloffs. This was classic correction-type [...]
Why it’s crucial for investors to incorporate inflation into their financial planning

May 16, 2018 | City Talk

We often find media coverage fretting inflation’s impact on consumer spending—particularly true after UK inflation jumped over the last couple years. In our view, though, British investors should be more focused on whether their financial plans take it into account. We believe doing so is vital to increasing the likelihood of reaching your goals. The [...]
An underappreciated side effect of Brexit talks

March 23, 2018 | City Talk

As the Brexit referendum nears its two-year anniversary, Brexit continues dominating economic and political media coverage. We have observed no shortage of angles, including: What is the latest snag in negotiations? Will Brussels and London make their deadlines? Can Prime Minister Theresa May keep her cabinet in order? We believe this nonstop Brexit coverage obscures [...]
The folly of long-term forecasts

March 2, 2018 | City Talk

In late January, Brexit minister Steve Baker suggested the Treasury had put together 15-year economic projections designed to show “all options other than staying in the customs union were bad.” Though he later walked the statement back, to some, it supported suspicions of government agencies’ complicity in “Project Fear”—an effort to scare Brits out of [...]
Brexit didn’t break the UK in 2017

January 25, 2018 | City Talk

When the UK voted to leave the EU in June 2016, many experts forecasted economic doom—if not immediately, then in the not-too-distant future. Some sentiment-related, short-term volatility followed, but the UK didn’t fall into recession following the referendum. Similar projections arose going into 2017, but those fell flat, too. Through all the noise and warnings [...]
