AS A N Y P I L O T will tell you, four

engines are better than two. Get

trouble in one – or even two – and

there are still enough to carry you home. A similar

philosophy informs our Global Select hunters’

strategy. As the name suggests, the trio – Simon

Edelsten, Alex Illingworth and Rosanna Burcheri

– are highly selective in their approach. Hunting

only the ‘best of breed’. Yet they also believe in

diversifying, holding as many as 60 stocks at any

one time, with no one stock making up more

than 3% of the portfolio. Some might see this as

a defensive mindset, but in the hunters’ view it’s

simply enhancing the balance between risk and

return. Enabling them to maintain a high active

share in the face of localised squalls. The overall

result has been top quartile Profi ts bagged since

launch. Further proof, if proof be needed, that

spreading the risk pays. In the long haul.

Managers target digital payment stocks as move to cashless society acceleratesBy Mike Sheen

Twitter: @michaeljsheenThe move towards a cashless society has driven portfolio managers into electronic payment infrastructure and emerging fintech names, while some are predicting the trend will lead to the terminal decline of poorly-prepared traditional developed market banks.

The annual Access to Cash Review, published last week, revealed cash is now only used for a third of transactions in the UK, down from almost two-thirds a decade ago, and forecast to fall as low as one tenth of transactions within the next 15 years.

Similarly, a recent GlobalData survey showed a reduction of 37% in the total amount of cash spent in the UK from 2012 to 2017, with the firm predicting a further 35% decline by 2022.

While the UK is by far the largest user of digital payments in Europe, according to comparison website Merchant Machine, this is a global phenomenon. According to China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, mobile payment transactions in the country reached a record $12.8trn from January to October 2018.

Similarly, the impact of demonetisation in India has led to the rapid expansion of digital payments in the country.

Manager of the AXA Framlington FinTech fund Vincent Vinatier explained there are three main drivers in building a cashless society.

Firstly, the demographic profile of a market, with younger populations accelerating the trend. Secondly, infrastructure, which is particularly relevant in many emerging markets, where traditional banking infrastructure such as ATMs have been “bypassed”, he said.

Finally, political will, with countries “trying to increase their tax take, while reducing the amount of money going into the informal economy, which is really helped by moving to digital transactions”.

In efforts to benefit from the global transition from cash, Vinatier allocates to ‘payment rails’

such as Visa and Mastercard where revenues are driven by growth in volume of digital payments.

Vinatier said: “Visa is one of the companies at the centre of this because it provides the payment rails that people and firms, including some of the newer and more advanced companies, are using.”

In addition, the fund is investing in payment solutions firms like Worldline, which provide specialised IT systems for retailers and other sectors, he explained.

Danger for banks?Similarly, CIO of concentrated global growth at AllianceBernstein Mark Phelps is also invested in payment rails Mastercard and Visa, and has historically owned

European equivalents Worldpay and Ingenico.

In addition, while Phelps’ Concentrated Global Growth strategy does not invest in developed market banks for a plethora of reasons, he believes the move towards a cashless society will be detrimental to many banks in the longer term.

He explained: “Technology continues to change the nature of the business, but these firms have a lot of legacy systems that means, while profitable, they are very slow to change.

“If they do not change, the new fintech firms will come and eat their lunch, particularly on more profitable business. They will be left with the less profitable business, which they

are underinvested in.”However, Phelps does invest in

banking software firm Temenos, which works with bank back-office systems to prepare them for a digital world.

Global equities analyst at Sarasin & Partners Rolando Rodrigues also has concerns for the consumer banking sector, which will “eventually move almost all business online”.

He said: “Those banks with big consumer businesses and scale will be the winners.

“Those that do not have the money to invest because they are small, or do not have the revenue base to spread the fixed cost of a new IT system or consumer interface, will be the losers.”

Rodrigues added Sarasin also has “a big holding” in payment rail firm Mastercard, which he explained “has endless economies of scale because the cost of one additional traction is zero”.

He added: “As it grows, it will increase not only its revenues, but also its margin. It is the perfect investment because share appreciation will occur both because of higher earnings and because of a re-rating of the stock, which we expect to continue.”

Mastercard’s share price is up almost 150% over five years to 5 March, while Visa is up by more than 160% over the same period.

Limited listed opportunitiesHowever, the potential to invest in the transition to a cashless society is limited by the number of companies profiting from the change that are available to the average investor, according to co-fund manager of the Merian Chrysalis investment trust Nick Williamson.

He said: “While there have been a number of payment processors listed in the UK, there are currently few of any scale to choose from, with Worldpay perhaps the most obvious.

“Given London’s fintech pedigree, this could be said to be somewhat disappointing.

Is a much-needed turnaround on the cards for Woodford in 2019?By Jayna Rana

Twitter: @Jayna_RanaNeil Woodford’s £796m Woodford Patient Capital trust has seen a significant turnaround in performance over the past six months following a dismal period, while the manager’s £4.6bn open-ended Woodford Equity Income fund has also seen a marginal pick-up year-to-date, suggesting a potential turning point for the funds.

During the three years since its launch in June 2014, the group’s flagship Equity Income vehicle was on a positive trajectory, outperforming both its IA UK All Companies sector average and the FTSE All-Share, with a return of 40%. However, since June 2017, when assets were at a peak £10.3bn, the fund has underperformed and assets dropped by 55% to £4.6bn as at 28 December 2018, according to FE.

Some wealth managers removed the fund from recommended lists including fund research ratings agency FundCalibre, which ejected it from its ‘elite’ funds early last year.

Managing director Darius McDermott said: “The rating was withdrawn due to a deterioration of our AlphaQuest screening score to below the minimum requirement.”

However, December saw the lowest level of redemptions throughout what was a volatile 2018 across all asset classes, and year-to-date performance is up with the fund returning 4.8%. However, this is still behind the sector average return of 8.5% and All-Share return of 7.5%.

A spokesperson for Woodford Investment Management said: “Having a clear, ‘bigger picture’ macro view has always been a critical part of Neil’s investment approach and he does not prescribe to the crowded consensus view. A key part of his strategy over the past year has been to invest in

what he believes to be the cheapest asset class he has witnessed in the 30 years of managing money – UK domestically-exposed equities.

“Neil (pictured) believes there is risk in stocks whose share prices and valuations have risen on an increasingly false premise. He is instead invested in companies with greater potential for upside whose share prices have been weak and predicated on a view, which he does not share, that the UK economy is about to go into recession.”

There are several themes at the core of the Equity Income portfolio, including significant exposure to the housebuilding sector and further UK domestic exposure through building materials, financials, construction, outsourcers, logistics, media companies and property businesses.

WPCTMeanwhile, Woodford Patient Capital Trust had a poor start to its life after launching at a record-breaking (until the launch of Smithson trust last

year) £800m in April 2015. But shortly after, assets started to fall and performance faltered – today the trust is down by 18% since launch, well behind its AIC UK All Companies sector average gain of 26% and the FTSE All-Share, which returned 19% over the same period.

This is largely thanks to exposure to smaller healthcare stocks and other early-stage companies, which had not initially performed as well as the manager anticipated. However, the valuations of many holdings started to turn over 2018 and attention was drawn back to the trust, pushing AUM up to near £1bn.

The team believes there is scope for 2019 to be even better in performance terms, with companies largely at more mature, less risky stages of development and a number of significant milestones on the horizon.

Over one year to 4 March, the trust is back in the black, having delivered 8.7% ahead of both its benchmarks and was also promoted to the FTSE 250 at the end of 2018.

Many investment trust analysts remain positive on the fund, with Stifel giving it a ‘buy’ rating and Winterflood putting it on its recommendations list for 2019, stating the current discount of 14% “offers an attractive entry point”.

Meanwhile, Thomas McMahon, senior analyst at Kepler Partners, added: “Neil’s success was built on making contrarian calls on the stockmarket, most notably by staying out of the 2000 dotcom bubble and avoiding banks prior to the 2008 crisis.

“Investments in the tobacco and pharmaceutical sectors made when they were out of favour were also particularly successful.

“His success in the past has therefore been built on making unpopular calls and sticking to his guns when criticised intensely, a pattern which we may be seeing once again.”

Managers target digital payment stocks as move to cashless society accelerates

“The issue is many of the most exciting and fastest growing businesses are often financed privately. This is especially the case if their business models display capital-light, tech-enabled characteristics.

“The trend is for these types of businesses to stay private for longer, eschewing an IPO until the majority of super-normal returns have been captured by the private investors.”

Williamson, whose trust is able to access unlisted companies, added that over the last four months, the

trust has invested £85m into “a number of potentially very high growth investments”, particularly in the payments space where it has positions in Transferwise.

Prepare for negative ratesWhile the continued transition towards a cashless society will have an impact on individual stocks, managing director and chief market strategist for EMEA at J.P. Morgan Asset Management Karen Ward said it could also open up the potential for central banks to utilise more “unconventional tools”.

She explained the use of negative interest rates in countries like Japan and Switzerland, which are “essentially forcing people to spend”, has seen difficulty in implementation as “people can just withdraw cash and hold it physically, limiting how impactful negative rates can be.”

Ward added: “In theory, if you moved to an entirely cashless society, you could move to this system as normal conduct of monetary policy.”

Normalised negative interest rates under these conditions would therefore have a similar impact

to quantitative easing as people “move progressively through the risk system”, she said.

Ward explained: “Central banks could force people out of cash into government bonds, easing the cost of government financing and helping them to spend, and then into corporate bonds or even equities, thereby easing the financing pressure on companies and helping them to spend too.

“It would be across the board support for asset prices because of what it does in that process of search for yield,” she added.

Investment20/20 programme boosts industry with more than 1,000 recruits since launchBy Jayna Rana

Twitter: @Jayna_RanaInvestment20/20, the careers service designed to promote entry-level talent, diversity and inclusion for the investment management industry, has helped more than 1,000 young people from a range of backgrounds into employment since its launch in 2013.

Founded by Nichola Pease, non-executive director at Schroders, and Andrew Formica, CEO at Jupiter, the initiative works with over 40 asset management houses to find trainees among school and university leavers, 85% of whom went to a state school and many being the first in their family to go to university.

Out of the total 1,339 candidates

enrolled on the programme since launch who have completed the one-year traineeship at an asset manager, 75% (1,004) were subsequently employed by their sponsor firm.

50% of total trainees have come straight out of school, while the other half were university graduates. Meanwhile, 41% come from a BAME (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic) background and 37% are female, helping to diminish the stereotype that the financial industry is “pale, male and stale”.

In 2018, Investment20/20 merged with the industry trade body, the Investment Association (IA), which has helped expand efforts.

IA CEO Chris Cummings said: “A diverse workforce and strong

pipeline of talent are key to the success of any forward-looking industry, helping businesses to innovate, grow and meet the needs of their customers.”

Meanwhile, the initiative attended 158 careers events throughout 2018, a 50% increase on the previous year. The group also launched its Think Investments programme in association with charity Career Ready for those from particularly disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds. It offers work shadowing and masterclasses such as an introduction to investments and assessment centres, and participants can enroll onto Investment20/20 if they wish to.

Karis Stander, MD of Investment20/20, said the

programme accepts applications from all backgrounds, though she has intensified the push on ‘new’ universities, while also targeting arts and non-business students as well as those studying business, finance and economics.

She added: “With diversity increasingly baked into firms’ recruitment processes, Investment20/20 has a key role to play in helping the industry deliver on its aim to see its workforce reflect the diversity of the savers and investors it serves.”

Investment20/20 does not have diversity quotas but said partner firms may set their own targets. It counts 43 partner firms, including Fidelity, M&G, J.P. Morgan Asset Management and Invesco.

Seilern IM’s founder plots expansion to wholesale marketBy Tom Eckett

Twitter: @TomEckettIWSeilern Investment Management is targeting the wholesale market for the first time in its 30-year history as the firm looks to move away from the institutional space.

Speaking to Investment Week, Peter Seilern (pictured), founder and chief investment officer of Seilern IM, said previously the firm had been solely focused on selling their three-strong fund range to the institutional space as the firm’s investment approach was better-suited to the pension fund industry.

However, inflows did not take off due to pension funds being limited in the amount of equity they can hold in their strategies, he explained.

As a result, he has turned his

attention to the intermediary market, after previously shunning the area and said he is relishing the challenge.

“We are making a commitment to the intermediary market from now on. We recently became a member of the Investment Association which shows we really mean business in the UK.”

Performance in the group’s range over recent years has been strong. The firm’s flagship £645m Seilern Stryx World Growth fund is top quartile over one, three and five years, returning 73.3% over the past three years versus 52.1% for the IA

Global sector, as at 20 February.Meanwhile, its $178.8m

Seilern Stryx America fund has also been top quartile over the same periods, returning 91.2%

in sterling terms over the past three years versus 64.4% for the IA North America sector and 65.6% for the S&P 500, a notoriously difficult index to outperform.

The funds are concentrated, usually holding between 20 and 30 stocks

and focusing on quality, growth stocks.

Seilern explained: “We avoid anything that is subjected to the vagaries of the price of money

such as banks, anything that is influenced by matters beyond a company’s control such as automobiles or anything that prevents a business from having pricing power.”

EuropeThe firm’s third fund, the €54.7m Seilern Stryx Europa fund has failed to attract a similar level of inflows compared to the other two strategies, which Seilern blamed on the negative sentiment around Brexit, Italy and the eurozone growth.

“There is a minimal risk that the European Union or the euro will break-up,” Seilern said. “Even the Italian government does not want to leave the euro as they know it will bankrupt the country.”

The fund has returned 9.3% over the past year versus -1% for the IA Europe ex-UK sector.

Three investment themes to weather ‘short-term noise’By Lauren Mason

Twitter: @LaurenMason_IWKingswood’s Richard Stammers and Rupert Thompson have outlined three key investment areas they believe will stand the test of time as investors prepare for a period of heightened volatility in markets.

In a world dominated by Brexit, US-China trade wars and ongoing bouts of geopolitical uncertainty, the pair stressed the importance of investors remaining diversified, while also backing themes that are more likely to weather “short-term noise”.

Below, chief investment strategist Stammers (pictured left) and Thompson (pictured right), head of research at the firm, detail the investment themes they believe will hold up over a five- to ten-year time horizon.

Technology“Technology as a theme is not a revolutionary idea, but in terms of the biggest growth theme over a ten-year period, I cannot think of anything else quite so attractive,” said Thompson. “The number of growth stories in this field – be it AI, robotics, the Internet of Things, digital protection or cyber security – is substantial.

“In terms of valuations, some of the big stocks are getting toppy, albeit prices have come back somewhat. But overall, valuations are still reasonable given their growth prospects. In terms of our clients’ time horizons, so typically in excess of five to ten years, we think it’s very attractive.”

Stammers said investors commonly track the NASDAQ index as a cheaper way to gain access to technology stocks. However, he called this “naïve” and prefers to use actively-managed tech funds.

In particular, he likes Polar Capital Global Technology, which is headed up by Ben Rogoff and Nick Evans. The £2.1bn fund typically holds between 60 and

85 positions at any one time, all of which are chosen using fundamental stock analysis without any benchmark or tracking error constraints. Its largest current holdings include the likes of Alphabet, Microsoft, Alibaba and Tencent.

“This is our favourite fund in the sector; it has a diversified portfolio of holdings, a great performance track record and trustworthy managers,” Stammers said. “They are not just chasing big names. The point about investing in tech is that it is home to a whole host of sub-themes most people can miss. These two managers have been investing in technology for more than 20 years and we think they are excellent.”

InfrastructureAnother long-term theme Stammers and Thompson use across clients’ portfolios is infrastructure. According to FE data, every single open-ended and closed-ended infrastructure fund with a long-enough track record has outperformed the MSCI AC World index over the last 12 months – a period of markedly high volatility.

Stammers and Thompson said it is their ability to protect on the downside, as well as pay attractive dividend yields, that makes infrastructure funds attractive long-term investments.

“People need roads, they need power stations and they need bridges, this does not dissipate,” Thompson explained.

Their preferred infrastructure fund is Lazard Global Listed Infrastructure Equity, which is run by Bertrand Cliquet. The pair said Cliquet, who co-founded the fund in 2005, is a “dependable and impressive manager, who navigates a difficult investment field very well”.

Stammers said: “[Infrastructure is a] sector that is highly dependent on moves made by regulators, so you really, really have to be on top of local regulations and what is going on, it is a minefield.

“However, Lazard’s team really is. The manager is also not afraid to use his knowledge to take contrarian bets; more than 50% [of the fund] is in Europe rather than the US. While most people think Europe is a basket case, Bertrand believes now is the safest time to invest there.”

Lazard Global Listed Infrastructure Equity has £1.3bn of assets under management and is a concentrated portfolio of 26 stocks. In terms of sector weightings, it is overweight utilities, industrials and consumer services relative to its MSCI World Core Infrastructure benchmark.

AlternativesWhile not a macroeconomic theme, Stammers and Thompson stressed the importance of asset class diversification over the very long term, particularly through market-neutral strategies.

“This is particularly poignant now, given where we are in the

current stage of the cycle, where neither equities nor bonds look cheap,” Thompson explained. “For the past year or so we have been trying to increase our weighting to alternative funds. However, it does take a lot of work to find the right strategy.”

The duo said there are numerous problems with the IA Targeted Absolute Return sector – where many of the alternative funds lie – but pointed out there is a small selection of “hidden gems” that should provide long-term investors with much-needed diversification.

For example, they like the £53m Levendi Thornbridge Defined Return fund, which was launched by managers David Stuff and Frank Copplestone at the start of 2018. The fund aims to generate an annual return that is at least 6% above sterling deposit rates, while maintaining a volatility below 10%.

It does this predominantly through a portfolio of autocall structured products. These tend to be a basket of indices, which return 100% of invested capital as well as a relatively high coupon if their performance beats the strike price.

“The fund is only a year old but has done exactly what is was supposed to do so far. It performed particularly well in the recent sell-off,” Stammer said. “Further down the risk spectrum, we like the TwentyFour Absolute Return Credit fund, which is also run by a very smart team.”

Thompson added: “We are always looking for new opportunities in the alternatives space but it is hard to find products that you really trust.

“One of the criteria we have to invest in such funds is that its process is so simple, we can easily explain it to clients. If you can do that, people get it, and it is easier to decipher whether its performance is as expected, or whether something has gone wrong.”

Where next for US equity valuations?By Sam Shaw

Equity valuations are not at the “sky-high” levels that Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett called out in last month’s annual letter to shareholders, according to a panel of US equity specialists.

Speaking at the Aravis US Fund Forum 2019, in a panel discussion chaired by BMO Global Asset Management’s Gary Potter, Bill Miller, chief investment officer, chairman and portfolio manager at Miller Value Partners said equities were “the only game in town” as all eyes are on the US Federal Reserve to see where equity valuations multiples might head.

Potter (pictured left) said: “Valuing companies is hard to do, even harder to get right and the market – currently trading on 14x, 15x earnings – is very unforgiving if you miss by even a cent.”

He said that despite the economy slowing

there were still plenty of “outstanding” investment opportunities to be found in US stockmarkets, contrary to Buffett’s frustrated sentiment.

Miller (pictured right) responded: “When you think about equities and what valuations look like, you have to think, compared to what? Neither cash nor bonds are in competition with stocks. I believe stocks are about the only game in town.”

He explained that with the S&P 500 trading on 15x price/earnings with estimated earnings growth of 6% a year and 10-year Treasuries “trading at 40x earnings” and “those earnings do not grow,” he quashed criticisms of current equity pricing.

Fellow panellist Chris D’Agnes, senior partner and portfolio manager at Hamlin Capital Management, said clients were constantly asking how they face political risk, and he said rather than focusing

on macro noise and its impact on stock prices, he was looking to the yield curve.

“If I wanted to estimate valuations I would want to know where interest rates were trending because over time, to put pressure on price/earnings you need the yield on the 10-year to be at least 6% to 7%. It is not such a huge shock that the P/E on the S&P 500 went down last year because when you look over time at when there has been tightening of rates, historically the P/E multiple on the S&P has decreased.”

Concerns over trade warsPotter asked the question whether greater discount requirements were being factored into decisions over higher-growth companies, given growing concerns over the trade wars being incited by US President Donald Trump.

manager at Edgewood Management – specialists in high-conviction, high quality growth – said despite the noise, ultimately it comes down to concerns over the greenback.

He said: “In terms of the discount rate we use, it’s really business-specific risk that we look at. Whether it’s a [higher growth or a lower growth] company, it comes down to the company. The dollar will make more or less of a difference depending on a company’s international exposure, so each stock gets valued and we take a view on the discount rate at an individual level, based on its individual characteristics, such as regional exposure.”

Also on the panel was Jim Robillard, founder and president at Spyglass Capital Management – a small- and mid-cap specialist – who agreed trying to time broader market valuations and discount expectations was pointless.

“We do not try and anticipate big economic events – be it US dollar weakness, Brexit, a recession threat - because we can see from the long-term trends that there are normal levels of expectations, be that 6% or 8% in long-term equity market returns - and trying

to get the timing right is just too difficult.“If you miss the best days in the market,

you’re done and if you miss the best days with your stocks, you’re even worse off.”

He added the industry tends to “obsess” over big macro events, with “many commentators being paid good money to talk about them” rather than seeking out good businesses and paying a rational price for the productivity they generate and trying to find the arbitrage opportunity.

“What we are trying to do is take advantage of when other people are distracted by some shiny spectre of disaster, in the hope that we might buy off them because even in a downturn, a fabulous business in ten years’ time should be worth a lot more than it is today.”

When CEO of RWC Partners Dan Mannix first came into contact with mental health charity Minds@Work, he came to a sad realisation about the state of financial services.

Mannix attended one of the charity’s regular forums, which saw more than 1,000 people working across the UK talk openly about their experiences with mental health in the workplace. However, he explains, “there was virtually no one from finance there”.

“It was a terrible reflection of the way financial services companies are looking after their people,” Mannix says. “It tells you people who work in financial services have perhaps felt less comfortable than others in terms of opening up.

“But it was also a huge opportunity for us to have an impact.”

Alongside Unilever, RWC became a founding sponsor of the charity, which today provides even more UK firms with a comprehensive hub of resources on mental health in the workplace.

Mannix says there must be a “fundamental mindset change in the approach to mental health from individuals, organisations and stakeholders… united by the belief that it is the right thing to do”.

He adds: “It applies pressure on the broader community to demonstrate they are taking these things seriously.”

Demographics There is a well-known but uncomfortable truth about the City that makes an increased focus on mental health an urgent priority. Men of a certain age represent a disproportionately large portion of the industry; the very people who are statistically most at risk.

According to Samaritans, UK men are three times more likely to take their own lives than women, while men aged 45 to 49 represent the highest suicide rate.

Mannix says: “While the industry is making

16 The Bigger PictureMental Health

investmentweek.co.uk 11 March 2019

great strides to make sure it has ever increasing diversity, as it stands the industry still has a huge bias towards the demographic of men who are most susceptible to mental ill health – one of the manifestations of which is these terrible statistics on suicide.

“It means the industry has an over-exposure to that risk. For many of us, the most likely thing you will lose a male colleague to today is suicide,” he adds.

In addition, a 2016 report on mental health strategy from the City of London Corporation suggested all those working in the Square Mile, regardless of gender, could be more susceptible.

It said: “For many City workers the high pressure, competitive nature and long working hours of City roles may also trigger stress and mental health issues including anxiety, depression and risk-taking behaviours.

“Previously, periods of severe economic problems and job instability have had an adverse effect on the mental health of the worker population.”

Approximately one in four people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year, according to Mind, and those working within asset management and wider financial services are not exempt from this.

Speaking to Investment Week in October about his own struggle, global head of client strategy at HSBC Global Asset Management Brian Heyworth said the asset management industry must be “brave” in confronting this uncomfortable fact and urged firms to “think hard about what mental health means to them and how they can help improve employees’ mental wellbeing”.

He added: “It is important because the health of an employee is paramount to a healthy, productive workforce.”

For its part, HSBC is working with City Mental Health Alliance (CMHA), where Hayworth is now vice-chair, to help provide employers with a framework and series of recommendations to implement best working practices for mental health initiatives internally.

The coalition of 20-plus organisations spanning law, finance and asset management also includes BNY Mellon and KPMG among its members. The alliance aims to create an environment in the City where mental health is discussed in the same way as physical health.

Similarly, Legal & General’s group-level Not a Red Card campaign, which sits alongside a number of internal well-being policies, works to reduce stigma surrounding mental health with the message that “it’s not a bad thing to talk about mental health in the workplace”.

The campaign states: “Mental health, including stress, is one of the biggest causes of long and short term employee absences, so encouraging employers and employees to have more conversations will help limit its impact and improve wellbeing.

“After all, we talk about physical health, so why don’t we talk about mental health?”

The right fitThere are signs the industry is beginning to wake up to change. Two years on from RWC’s first involvement with Minds@Work, the firm is not the only asset manager to take up the initiative, Mannix says.

“What organisations need to work out is how they can make these efforts authentic,” he adds.

However, the efforts made by companies with regard to the mental wellbeing of their employees is inevitably impacted by the nature of their business, with larger, more international firms having to take a broader approach.

“We are a global organisation,” explains Schroders’ global head of equities Nicky Richards. “While mental health is being discussed more openly in the UK recently, different cultures can have a different attitude towards it.

“We are trying to achieve the same things in different cultures, both in our international

offices and for the employees in our UK office.”Schroders began a campaign in 2018 called

This is Me, which asked staff across the global business to volunteer their own personal mental health stories.

Richards, who is heavily involved with the initiative, explains they were “overwhelmed with the response” and, as a result, the firm realised that mental health could no longer sit with HR alone and “should be adopted across the business in the same way as diversity and inclusion groups”.

Schroders’ London office now has staff trained as mental health first aiders, who are signposted across the office in the same way as physical first aiders in further efforts to destigmatise seeking help.

The firm also employs a cognitive behavioural therapy specialist and has an employee assistance helpline available to all staff.

Going furtherWhile Schroders’ approach has heralded tangible changes, “one of the most powerful things to come out of it is just the openness and the discussion”, Richards says.

She adds: “We realised the importance of talking about mental health openly and not feel there is a stigma attached.

“But it is also incumbent on us to think about education as well. We have invested in these initiatives, but it is about having a programme in place where people can learn from other’s experiences and insights.

“If we can grow our knowledge base we can promote further openness about mental health awareness.”

Similarly, RWC’s Mannix says changes made at a company level can have an impact that goes beyond the office.

He explains: “Organisations have a role in society as well as a responsibility to their shareholders.

“Lots of organisations now engage in initiatives orientated around their role in broader society, rather than simply a focus on shareholder returns. It impacts staff families, their clients and broader society by reducing the cost burden. Ultimately, all these things end up being good for society as well as for organisations,” he concludes.

Top Tips - Part 2Diversity

Continuing from last week, IW’s Women in Investment Awards winners give their guidance and advice to young women considering careers in financial services. Compiled by Lauren Mason

Top tips for women breaking into investment

Claire Tucker, UBS Fund Analyst of the Year“Don’t be afraid to be your own advocate: set clear goals and get your mentors on board. Aim to progress every day and stay focused. Grab opportunities as they arise, even if you don’t ‘feel’ ready. Don’t stay in your silo, talk to as many people as you can. Go out of your way to help others, and they will help you.”

To read Part 1, go to: investmentweek.co.uk

Alison Porter, Janus Henderson Investors Fund Manager of the Year (L)“Many women in fund management are daunted by the idea that they can’t take the time they need for other things. We don’t just gain relevant experience from company meetings and spreadsheets, but from becoming parents, from friendships and so much more. Believe that all that you are will add value to your decision making.”

Hannah Strasser, SKY Harbor CMInternational Investment Woman of the Year“Investing is a life-long challenge. It’s important to be patient, to invest in yourself through experiencing different roles, and to study history to understand risks that have evolved over time. I credit a lot of my success to being associated with people who were willing to seize new opportunities as they arose.”

Tatjana Greil-Castro, Muzinich & Co Fund Manager of the Year (S/M)“Smart companies don’t employ you to mimic men. Believe in yourself, stick to your guns and be authentic. You lose energy trying to be something you’re not. It is better to use that energy on being productive and solution-orientated.”

Kathleen Hughes, GSAMInvestment Woman of the Year (L) “I would have told my 22-year-old self to dream big. I had no idea what was possible in terms of career opportunities. Also, diversity is becoming increasingly critical so don’t rule yourself out of an investment career just because you didn’t study. If you have a passion for markets and people, I can’t think of a more fulfilling career.”

Nina Bhatt, Janus HendersonTeam Leader of the Year“From my favourite leader – my dad. At a young age he said one short sentence to me which has stayed with me for decades: ‘Nina, aim high, you will go far, aim low, you will stay low’. Such simplicity, but said empathetically to me at the right time. When a true leader speaks, their words are amplified in your mind and can become very powerful.”

Susanne Chishti, FINTECH Circle Social Media Influencer of the Year“Firstly, invest in yourself by learning how the investment sector works in detail. Never give up your financial independence, and be bold in supporting other women by helping to promote them and pay them more. Finally, never underestimate your own power. You can achieve anything in life!”

Lauren von Stackelberg, JP Morgan Private Bank Young Investment Woman of the Year (L)“Look beyond the stereotypes and get to know and love the industry for what it aspires to become. The industry can often be perceived as male-dominated, but I genuinely believe it will become much more gender balanced. As a woman in the industry, you can help your firm to progress this agenda.”

Kate Rogers, Cazenove Capital Change Excellence“To my younger self I would say ‘take ownership of your career and think strategically about what you want’. Search out role models and embrace learning opportunities. Feedback is gold. The industry is ever changing, so I would advise working with change rather than struggling against it.”

Ruth Brooker, BlackRockInvestment Analyst of the Year“Research, prepare and ask questions during the interview process. Where possible meet as many members of the team as possible. Be yourself and back yourself, work hard and be nice to people. Acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses, and seek out feedback on areas of improvement and strength.”

As we hear the recent rumours that Russia’s usual reserve currency, the US dollar, is to be replaced by Bitcoin, we can only assume the acquisition is both politically and financially stimulated. Many believe it is an attempt to exhibit a move away from the reliance on the US dollar, regardless of Russia holding a record-high $462.1bn in reserve.

This alternative reserve has been perceived

as a way to circumvent US Congress-imposed sanctions onto Russia; ones imposed following US intelligence claim Russia’s interference with the 2016 US presidential elections, the attempted assassination of former Russian Military officer Sergei Skripal and others.

Despite Bitcoin’s depression in value during 2018 (where the cryptocurrency’s value dropped from $230.9bn to $66.6bn by the end of the year) Vladislav Ginko, an economist at the Russian Presidential Academy of Economy and Public Administration, stated the conversion

from US dollars to Bitcoin will potentially come into action around February 2019. This action alone should bring increased stability to the most valuable, trend-setting cryptocurrency in the world.

If Russia goes through with their investment plans, they would ascertain one-sixth of all Bitcoin, ultimately ascending the digital asset’s value enormously. Russia’s approach represents a new direction of digital assets, returning the once-viral phenomenon back into investors’ periphery and helping to relieve market criticism. However, it also brings more questions to the fore that must be addressed due to the global economic impact this transition would create today, as well as tomorrow.

Currency volatilityMost criticisms of cryptocurrencies lie in their volatility of value which, unlike traditional currencies, is not associated with entities or assets that determine a currency’s underlying value. Instead, the only data is the pure value of any cryptocurrency. If this seems rather arbitrary, it’s because it is.

For this reason and others, the velocity of value transfer for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is frightening to some organisations, especially traditional financial institutions such as banks and money managers. To compound the confusion, crypto assets remain highly unregulated, adding another layer of volatility that many finance traditionalists struggle with.

Blockchain technologyBefore effectively analysing and making a judgement on the feasibility of cryptocurrency, it is best to consider a significant component that has contributed to its popularity: the success of the mining process of blockchain technology, the lifeline of all cryptocurrencies. The currencies utilise blockchain technology to ensure transactions are secure and interconnected, a concept that stands

in sharp contrast to contemporary transaction recordings that rely on their independent processes.

Cryptocurrency and blockchain, although highly interconnected, have starkly different utilities. Bitcoin is a by-product of blockchain technology that has now become the gold standard for the newly conceived multibillion-dollar industry, solely due to its supply and demand.

Consequently, this product has garnered popularity and become a phenomenon that maintains the propensity to remove financial control from banks – renowned for the inability to manage customers’ finances without risk.

This foundation is where I am most optimistic about cryptocurrencies and their role in the financial sector moving forward.

Blockchain offers a centralised alternative, generating an unimpeded record of all transactions. The secure network addresses the challenges surrounding trust between two parties during an exchange of value, whereas banks cannot always ensure that occurs.

Moreover, the ability to make quicker transactions from greater distances without being held hostage to traditional banks and their time-consuming processes is helpful for entrepreneurs and money managers, who can take advantage of investment opportunities in real time. What is not to like about this concept?

Cryptocurrency in the mainstreamWe have firmly established that the more prominent challenges with cryptocurrency derive from their propensity to be unregulated, untraceable and oversaturated.

So, what happens when they become more than just an opportunity for tech enthusiasts, but go mainstream within the global financial sector and governments? The answer is yet to be determined, but there are some things that are becoming clearer.

For example, governments can scapegoat reasons to impose regulation, and a free-for-all will ensue.

Predictably, each government may introduce its own cryptocurrency within a personalised and regulated market, which would ultimately defeat the entire initial purpose of cryptocurrency itself.

Russia purchasing exuberant quantities of Bitcoin represents the precursor to government-developed cryptocurrencies. Fortunately, this market is in its infancy and will likely remain extremely volatile until government regulations are imposed. However, it begs the question – is it worth investing in, now?

With world superpowers now giving credence to the relatively new asset, I believe blockchain represents an exciting new frontier in finance, but as with any investment or financial tool – proceed with caution.

No respite for Europe’s political challengesEurope’s economic and political challenges are likely to carry on through 2019. The “gilets jaunes” protests in France, the populist government in Italy, and Brexit, all reflect a profound economic and social discontent due to a decade of sluggish growth, stagnant real wages and rising inequality across the region. The European economy will receive less financial support from the European Central Bank (ECB) with the termination of the corporate bond buying

programme, there are also signs that economic activity is slowing, and Italy is on the edge of recession. The IMF recently revised down its forecast for economic growth in Europe to 1.6% for 2019, down from its previous 1.9% forecast.

Potential protracted procrastinations for the UKThe outlook for the UK economy is tied to the progression of Brexit negotiations. We think there is a significant upward potential for sterling if progress is made. Near-term hurdles remain significant, especially the recent splits within both major political parties.

A slowing China back to the fore in emerging market risksEmerging markets (EM) should benefit from a possible pause in the Fed’s tightening path and a likely stable US dollar in 2019. However, the major risk for EM is a larger-than-anticipated Chinese slowdown. Chinese exports are likely to drop in the event of a sustained economic slowdown in the EU, which is China’s first trading partner. Other EM headwinds include the volatility of commodity prices and the expected lower demand for industrial metals from softer global activity, which might negatively impact commodity exporter countries.

Geopolitics will continue to play a central role in the outlook for EM in 2019. We expect a plateauing of the US dollar this year, which could help stabilise the US trade balance, and possibly ease tensions between the US and China regarding trade. A comprehensive trade deal could have a substantial upside potential for EM. What’s

Key risksThe value of investments and any income derived from them can go down as well as up as a result of market or currency movements and investors may not get back the original amount invested..

Shares purchased on the secondary market cannot usually be sold directly back to the fund. Secondary market investors must buy and sell ETF shares with the assistance of an intermediary (eg a stockbroker) and may incur fees for doing so. In addition, investors may pay more than the current net asset value per share when buying ETF shares and may receive less than the current net asset value per share when selling them.

more, several major emerging economies will hold elections this year, including Argentina, India, Indonesia, and South Africa, with possibly large implications for their policy stance and potential market repercussions.

Volatility on the rise through 2019The global economy is entering a late-cycle phase, where economic growth remains strong but is losing momentum. Fundamentals look good, but some vulnerabilities are building, including the high level of public and corporate debt, and the rise

of populism and protectionism. As a result, we expect market sentiment to fluctuate and volatility to increase, and believe that market corrections will become more frequent. One way to reduce the volatility drag on long-term returns is through strategies generating high income.

Bond ETFs can capture yield whilst mitigating credit and duration riskWithin a low-yield environment, there are strategies that aim to minimise interest rate risk while providing higher income, such as a barbell strategy. You can implement this strategy with only two ETFs, a short-dated bond ETF for capital preservation and a longer-dated equivalent for higher yield. This strategy performs particularly well when yield curves are flattening (ie the shorter rates are increasing faster than longer-term rates).

With rising interest rates,

refinancing and re-rating risks are heightened. Solid but slowing economic growth may put the credit market under pressure when interest rates rise as non-financial corporate debt has reached new highs, particularly in the US. Therefore, investors seeking income and diversification may be interested in investment grade corporate bond exposure, to balance the need for a higher yield and downside protection.

Investors looking for yield without taking extra credit or duration risk, could consider the BMO ETF 1-3 year global investment grade corporate bond exposure. This maturity bucket offers good diversification benefits given its limited drawdowns, attractive yield, low duration and credit risks, and low correlation to equities. The ‘belly’ of the curve (ie medium-term maturities) currently provides a less attractive risk/reward trade-off (ie a lower yield per unit of duration).

Equity ETFs with a quality screen can help to avoid the ‘yield trap’The easiest way to increase income is through investing in high dividend companies. But this comes with the risk of falling into a ‘yield trap’. US corporate profit growth is likely to continue to decelerate in 2019, with declining growth prospects, labour cost increases and tighter profit margins. Therefore, we believe it is advisable to screen for quality before screening for dividend yield. This is our approach in the

BMO Income Leaders ETF range, which tracks the MSCI Select Quality Yield Index.

Alternatively, you could also opt to diversify away from traditional sources of income by using derivatives. One way to achieve higher income with relatively lower risk is to implement a covered call overlay whereby index call options are sold against an equity index in exchange for an immediate additional cashflow (the option premiums) on top of the underlying stock dividend, increasing the overall yield of the portfolio.

In this way, investors can combine superior income and investment growth from market returns. This strategy has been comprehensively implemented in the BMO Enhanced Income ETF range, which takes away the operational complexities for investors.

Time to de-riskOverall, we feel it is timely to gradually de-risk portfolios. We believe defensive equity strategies (defensive sectors focused ETFs, and quality and yield strategies), alongside high-quality credit ETFs that offer additional income and diversification, can help investors protect against the risk of an equity bear market as well as reduce the volatility of portfolios.

Partner InsightAviva Investors

Aviva Investors’ Cumming on the ‘positive’ risk-reward ratio of UK equitiesWhile UK equities took a pummelling from investors in 2018, Aviva Investors’ Chief Investment Officer for equities, David Cumming, remains positive about the market in which he has a personal as well as a professional stake.

After leaving his previous role at Standard Life Aberdeen late last year, he says, “I sort of liquidated and put money back in the markets – not quite at the bottom, sadly. So I’m quite comfortable that the UK market looks cheap and although there are risks, the risk-reward ratio is positive.”

Speaking to Investment Week, Cumming says he’s not in denial about recent performance, which he acknowledges has been “a terrible market”, particularly for large cap stocks.

Nor is he discounting the uncertainty over the nature of the UK’s imminent departure from the EU. Rather, he foresees a likely ‘Brexit bounce’ if the negotiations finally result in a deal that averts a disorderly exit.

The issue has been the main drag on business confidence and on domestic stock performance, Cumming believes, as well as fostering a reluctance among overseas investors to back the UK.

“The reason the market has lagged other markets is predominantly Brexit,” he says. “If we get some sort of deal, as opposed to no deal, I think the market will profit quite strongly because we’ve been held down.”

Investment approachCumming and his UK equities team have recently repositioned and renamed some of their UK funds, while also strengthening their key regional teams. This

has been to achieve a common investment language, processes, and a clear proposition in terms of philosophy.

He says: “Our competitive advantage is at the micro end

because we have good company access and our information flow is strong. As well as being fundamental in approach our other investment style is ‘agnostic’ which means we are not ‘style neutral’ but neither are we in the ‘always growth, always value’ camp. It depends on where we see the opportunities.

“One of the other things we have done in terms of restructuring our process is that we are now all hybrid. Everyone covers the big sectors like materials, industrials and financials and we have clear lines of responsibility in each regional team.”

ESG factorsThe team have also re-emphasised their assessment of environmental, social and governance factors.

“You have got regulation in financials, you have got labour issues in retail, carbon footprint in oil, you have got extraction; there are ESG factors everywhere in the market. Aviva Investors has always had a good reputation at every level of ESG.

“Being involved in the UN Charter, we sponsored the recent change in terms of how Shell look at their remuneration, which was linked to their carbon footprint and climate change. So we have been active at that high level.

“I think if you do it well and you can integrate it into the investment decision-making process in terms of information

flow, then it can improve stock selection.”

Sector outlookBesides Brexit, Cumming identifies two other major macroeconomic influencers. One is the US economy, which he believes is unlikely to slow sharply, despite the market panic at the end of 2018. Indeed, January saw US jobs grow for the 100th consecutive month.

The other point of tension is China’s economy and the impact of its trade battle with the US. While he has no firm view on the outcome, Cumming points out that “Trump tends to do deals in the end – that’s what happened with Mexico and Canada.”

In terms of which sectors are attractive at the moment Cumming cites commodities as a key area. “Mining stocks such as Rio, BHP and Anglo have done well recently. They have de-geared, they are more CapEx conscious and I think the market has underestimated the cash flow that’s coming out of these companies.

“The other area is banks. They are still trading at a big discount

to book, returns are improving and the balance sheets have been sorted out. Most of the regulatory risk is out of the way. Elsewhere? We like some of the consumer discretionaries. There are a lot of stocks in this sector, like Tesco, that just look too cheap. They are throwing off a lot of cash, growing modestly, and the rating is not that high.”

Key Risks The value of an investment and

any income from it can go down as well as up. Investors may not get back the original amount invested.

Investments in small and mid-sized companies can be volatile and harder to sell than large companies.

The Fund uses derivatives, these can be complex and highly volatile. Derivatives may not perform as expected meaning the Fund may suffer significant losses.

Certain assets held in the Fund could, be hard to value or to sell at a desired time or at a price considered to be fair (especially in large quantities), and as a result their prices could be very volatile.

Twitter: @LaurenMason_IW The discretionary Managed Portfolio Service (MPS) team at Square Mile has started buying actively-managed UK equity funds for the first time in almost a year, having allocated most of its UK equity exposure to passive funds at the start of 2018.

Jason Broomer, head of investment at Square Mile Investment Consulting and Research, said last year was the first time the firm has ever allocated more than half of its UK exposure to passive vehicles, due to what he described as “increasingly irrational” market conditions.

“Ultimately, Square Mile prides itself on finding active managers who outperform over the long term, but occasionally, there are periods where market conditions are not conducive to active management. We recognised 2018 might be one of those periods, hence the switch,” he explained.

“Looking back over my experience in the industry, there have been a couple of occasions where funds we favour didn’t achieve results we are expecting.

“Usually, over any one year, we expect around one-third of funds to underperform and two-thirds of funds to outperform, but near the end of 2017 two-thirds of our funds were actually underperforming. This has happened to me a couple of times over the years – typically near the tail-end of bull markets. There is no point trying to fight a losing battle, so we made the decision to switch to passives.”

Overall, approximately 60% to 70% of the MPS’ UK exposure was held in passives last year, while 30% to 40% remained in active

funds, which had already been purchased prior to the start of the year.

One of the passive vehicles the team used was the iShares UK Equity Index fund, which Broomer said outperformed 70% of active funds in the IA UK All Companies sector in 2018 after charges.

“Political risk in the UK made it difficult for fund managers to adapt, while markets had also started to mature,” Broomer explained. “People see share prices go up, want to get involved and buy into the stocks that have already gone up the most. Momentum trends were getting

baked into markets. Meanwhile, some of our smart-beta strategies were by far the strongest performers. This is why we made this decision.”

However, the team decided to re-allocate back into active funds at the start of 2019, due to the belief that last year’s market correction should have helped to break any momentum trends. Broomer added that the UK is gradually nearing the end of “tortuous” Brexit negotiations, which should mean some UK political risk subsides.

The head of investment could not name the active funds he is buying into as trades have not yet been completed. However, the team will continue to hold the only two actively-managed UK equity funds they used throughout 2018: Nick Train’s LF Lindsell Train UK Equity and Ben Whitmore’s Jupiter UK Special Situations.

“We held both of these throughout last year, and thankfully they both managed to beat the FTSE All-Share index; particularly Train’s fund. It was purely coincidental these funds performed well over 2018, because they are in our portfolios as very long-term plays,” he said.

“We were in the right place at the right time, although we do expect these funds to continue to perform well.”

INVESTMENTWEEK

Last week, the industry supported International Women’s Day with much gusto, and rightly so.

State Street Global Advisors brought its Fearless Girl campaign to London with a new statue in Paternoster Square, while a stone’s throw away at the London Stock Exchange the network for change in the asset management industry, City Hive, opened the market trading of UK companies.

Meanwhile, Investment Week brought readers top tips for women entering the industry from last year’s winners of the Women in Investment Awards, showcased the industry’s role models, and detailed visions for the diversity environment a decade from now.

Investment Week also launched the third Women in Investment Awards, which will take place in November 2019, and unveiled a mentoring scheme in conjunction with City Hive.

While there were numerous reports published on the benefits of diversity, one figure stood out that highlights just how much work still needs to be done.

The UBS Investor Watch: Own your worth report conducted research into how women around the world engaged with their finances, surveying nearly 3,700 married women, widows and divorcees in Brazil, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Mexico, Singapore, Switzerland, the UK and the US.

It concluded (perhaps unsurprisingly) 80% of women globally are highly involved in their short-term finances, such as daily expenses

and budgeting, but (more surprisingly) almost 60% of women do not engage in aspects of their financial well-being: investing, insurance, retirement and other long-term planning.

More shockingly – and in what UBS described as a “counterintuitive twist” – younger women are even more willing than older women to leave investing and financial planning decisions to their spouses. Just under 60% of women globally aged 20-34 were guilty of this, while this figure climbs to 69% in the UK, the second highest after

Singapore.This flies in the face of

everything we have learned about the stereotypical millennial, which largely forms a picture of financially savvy, eco-aware individuals who know what they want.

So, why are so few young women taking control of their financial future? UBS highlights comments such as “running around with toddlers” and “concentrating on my children”, while a “lack of confidence” was also noted.

It is saddening to read that at a time when women are taking control of their careers, and also balancing family life and childcare, the majority are not planning their own financial futures.

There are huge opportunities for the investment industry here to pro-actively educate women on the importance of planning for retirement, to highlight the role our industry plays in society and showcase the varied jobs we have on offer.

European investors are in a tricky position. Equity markets have had a strong start to 2019 – by the end of February, the Bloomberg European 500 index was up over 11%. And yet, there is a lingering doubt in many investors’ minds; how sustainable is it amid political and economic uncertainty?

The global economy is slowing down and that has

impacted Europe. German growth stalled at the end of last year as overseas demand – especially from China – dwindled. Italy stumbled too, hamstrung by low productivity, high debt and fractious budgetary negotiations between Brussels and Rome. The outlook for 2019 is not much better. February’s European manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index slipped to 49.3, the first contraction since 2013.

For several years, investors have been living in a fog of political uncertainty, which has had an impact on currency markets. Sterling is down around 14% since the start of 2016. Brexit clearly remains the focus of investor attention but, beyond that, investors are paying attention to the potential market implications of populist party gains in May’s European parliamentary elections.

Europe’s woes are set against an unsettled global backdrop. US-China trade tensions could hit European industrial demand, exacerbating the slowdown it is suffering. US stockmarket volatility is higher and signs of vulnerability are emerging in its corporate debt market. While the US economy is unlikely to turn sour overnight, the probability of a downturn over the next 18 months has increased.

In the gold market, we are observing the knock-on effects of these wider fears. In 2018, central bank gold buying hit its highest level since 1967, with the likes of Poland and Hungary becoming the first European central banks to significantly increase their gold reserves in more than 25 years.

In a survey of 22 central banks YouGov conducted on our behalf last year, 76% cited gold’s role as a safe haven asset as being extremely relevant to their investment. Some 35% of respondents cited political risk as an important motivation for their gold holdings.

Meanwhile, in Europe specifically, gold-backed funds now hold more gold than ever before – including at the height of the eurozone debt crisis. Europe was the only region in the world that saw assets in gold-backed ETFs grow in 2018.

Faced with the challenge of managing the risk in their portfolios amid deteriorating fundamentals and uncertainty, many European investors have increased their allocations to gold. While the European equity market rally may even continue, investors are clearly looking to balance the risk of a market pullback.

The issue of closet tracker funds charging high fees for poor performance has been a recent gripe of the Financial Conduct Authority.

It is a primary concern for them as they seek fairer outcomes for investors, with the intention of forcing these funds to make it clearer that they are in some way constrained. This is in line with the industry’s recent

embrace of active share as a crucial tool for identifying genuinely actively managed portfolios. However, while much has been written about active share, it is still in many respects a misunderstood measure.

The principle behind active share is to measure the difference between a fund and the benchmark index it is seeking to beat. However, difference can be measured in various ways.

If an actively managed fund is identical to its benchmark in terms of holdings and weights, it cannot, by definition, beat it. This is not opinion, but a mathematical truism – in fact, if the fund is charging fees, it will underperform it (assuming the manager is not being charitable, which seems a fair assumption).

So, for a fund to have any chance of beating its benchmark, it must be different to it; if a fund is only slightly different, the chances of it beating its benchmark net of fees are still practically zero.

Again, fact, not opinion. In other words, the more different a fund is to its benchmark, the greater the potential for it to beat its benchmark after costs. Whether it will or not is a different matter; at this stage we are just talking about potential.

Tracking errorOne measure of the difference between a fund and its benchmark that has been around for decades is tracking error, which measures the differences in returns.

However, tracking error has always been used as a risk measure, and therefore something investors should limit rather than seek out. This may be one reason why the use of active share is not as widespread as it should be. Maximising active share and minimising tracking error at the same time must be wrong, surely, if conceptually they both measure difference. The answer is to think of tracking error both as something one does not want too much of, but at the same time not too little of either.

VariablesThe next misunderstanding relates to the fact there are different versions of active share. The one that has grabbed the headlines in recent years was coined by Martijn Cremers and Antti Petajisto in a 2006 paper, How Active is your Fund Manager? Their calculation sums the absolute differences between fund weight and benchmark weight for each holding, then divides by two to give a scale of 0% to 100% – a passive fund that naturally mirrors its benchmark has an active share of zero.

However, in 2005, a year before Cremers and Petajisto introduced their version, Ross Miller wrote a paper entitled Measuring the True Cost of Active Management, in which he introduced his version. Miller’s is more complicated than the later version, but it uses some intermediate maths to derive the precise portion of any fund that does not

correlate with its benchmark – the active share – leaving the part that correlates 100%, the passive share.

While Cremers and Petajisto used their version to demonstrate that, in general, the higher the active share, the better the fund performance, Miller was seeking to show how many US mutual funds were sneakily charging exorbitant fees. In the case of one fund that shall remain nameless – and hopefully by now asset-less – the active expense ratio was 23%.

OutperformanceA third misunderstanding is that active share is portrayed as an easy way to identify outperforming funds. High active share, whichever version, or high tracking error cannot by themselves identify outperforming funds – it could never be that easy. They merely provide an objective measure of the potential of a fund to outperform its benchmark.

You certainly would not want to buy a fund that had no potential to outperform, but it is merely the first, and easier, step. The second step is to evaluate the fund manager’s investment style and process, a much harder task by dint of it being far more subjective.

In reality, the better fund managers – those with effective investment styles and processes – understand that it is important, necessary even, to be different, and so the two tend to go hand in hand. However, they should be considered separately.

Perhaps the final point to make is that criticism of the active management industry is always framed in the media and by the passive fund industry in terms of the percentage of funds, frequently high, that underperform their benchmark.

Active management is simply not a game that everyone can win, in the same way that we cannot all be above average in bed. The answer is not to outlaw active management, as some have suggested, but to give investors more tools to evaluate funds.

At the start of 2019 there were three main reasons to be bearish. Firstly, there was a risk that the US Federal Reserve was not adjusting its interest rate policy to reflect increasing signs of slowing growth in Europe and China. Secondly, a resolution to the US-China trade war and removal of tariffs looked unlikely, while a 1 March deadline would see the imposition of further tariffs. Thirdly, Brexit negotiations had hit an impasse both in the UK parliament and between the UK and the EU, risking a no-deal Brexit.

Fast forward to the beginning of March and circumstances appear to have changed for the better. Fed chairman Jerome Powell has indicated US interest rate rises are no longer on autopilot, President Donald Trump is keen to resolve the US-China trade war, and the likelihood of a no-deal Brexit has abated. In response, markets have rallied over the first two months of the year, with the US leading the charge while the UK, Europe and emerging markets follow on behind.

However, this rally seems somewhat unloved and the outlook from companies is not all positive. While the threat of a policy mistake by central banks appears less likely, companies have been reporting a wide range of outlooks. Clearly, the Chinese economy is slowing and some companies like Apple, Caterpillar and German car manufacturers are experiencing slowing demand.

On the other hand, Anta Sports,

a Hong Kong-listed sportswear company that we own, is feeling sufficiently confident to acquire Amer Sports, a Finnish sportswear company that owns brands such as Wilson and Salomon.

Ultimately, with equity valuations having re-rated and earnings estimates for 2019 having fallen over the first two months of the year, we find ourselves moving towards a more cautious stance than at the beginning of the year.

In these uncertain times the market tends to favour quality companies that have a history of weathering short-term economic shocks without any long-term impact on their business. They also tend to catch most of the rally when markets are more optimistic. Either way, their dividends make up an important and reliable component of investor returns.

UK equities had a positive start to 2019. While this can be partly viewed as a rebound after 2018’s difficult final quarter, what is likely to have been most significant is an extraordinary U-turn by the US Federal Reserve.

As recently as December, investors were being led to expect that US central bankers would make several 0.25% increases to interest rates this year, coupled with a continuation of quantitative tightening at a rate of up to $50bn each month.

However, after a period of heightened volatility in stockmarkets, the Fed appears to have recognised the risks associated with driving these policies forward, particularly in tandem, and signalled a more dovish approach, which led to a bounce in markets around the world.

The U-turn undoubtedly buoyed UK equities but, largely as a consequence of the Brexit effect, they remain on valuations well below historic averages and at a significant discount to comparable developed markets.

It is important to remember though that there are still many UK companies trading very successfully and growing strongly, and lower valuations have provided an opportunity to buy such high-quality UK companies at attractive prices.

Looking ahead, there are good reasons for vigilance. Slowing global growth remains a concern, as do US-China trade tensions and the associated threat of further tariffs. More encouragingly, China is rolling out a series of stimulus measures, such as fast-tracking infrastructure

projects and cutting taxes, in an effort to bolster growth in the world’s second-largest economy.

Turning back to the UK, we may soon have a clearer idea of how Brexit will play out, and an end to lengthy uncertainty is likely to be welcomed by investors, as well as companies keen to plan for the future.

Investors have been in a cautious mood over recent months and there are indications that there are significant amounts of cash sitting on the sidelines. Brexit clarity or other positive news could see some of that liquidity flow back into UK equities and begin to push the market higher again.

In the meantime, depressed valuations have created interesting opportunities among companies with robust growth prospects that, despite the challenges facing the UK, are continuing to trade strongly.

European pharmaceutical companies have been affected by the recent push to rein in healthcare spending in the US, with the need to curb soaring healthcare costs at the forefront. Efforts to reduce prices appear to be paying off: Express Scripts, a major pharmacy benefit manager in the US, which negotiates on behalf of insurers, reported the lowest increase in commercial drug prices in 25 years. Does this mark the end of an era for the pharma sector?

The answer is yes and no. From a top-down standpoint, it is true that a long-overdue focus on drug pricing is likely to turn what was a pleasant tailwind into a growing headwind for the sector. But as ever, the devil is in the detail. If prices in aggregate are on the decline, they are not declining everywhere. According to Express Scripts, traditional branded drug prices fell 6.5% in 2018, while speciality drug prices rose. Where there is a significant unmet need, consumers are willing to pay up for speciality drugs. Danish biotechnology company Genmab, which developed Darzalex, a blockbuster drug treating rare blood disease multiple myeloma, is one such example costing in excess of $100,000 a year.

Even in more common therapies the landscape is not homogenous. Spending on diabetes care, is forecast to continue rising as the innovative glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) class of drugs gains in significance, and for which no

low-cost alternative exists. This bodes well for diabetes giant Novo Nordisk and its impressive portfolio of next generation GLP1s.

An alternative approach to the sector is to look upstream at the suppliers of the pharmaceutical industry. These have the benefit of not being directly exposed to drug prices, while being able to leverage the continued growth of drug usage. Indeed, a more cost-focused pharmaceutical industry could even be seen as a positive as tighter budgets may lead to more outsourcing. This should help sustain the strong growth reported by outsourced manufacturers like Swiss multinational Lonza, clinical trial specialists like Icon or single-use suppliers like Germany-headquartered Sartorius.

The most significant consideration for all investors in the US is the actions of its Federal Reserve. The Fed has gradually increased the Fed Funds target interest rate since December 2015, with the latest 25bps increase in December 2018. Since the Q4 2018 market correction, the Fed has paused and it seems poised to raise rates only once or maybe twice in 2019. A less restrictive approach will be welcome and we can expect this to be reflected in US equity returns in 2019.

The Fed needs to provide economic relief in a potential downturn. In the last three recessions it cut rates by about 500bps. The current target (225bps to 250bps) is unlikely to be adequate. When the Fed does next raises rates, it may be forced to be less gradual and will be inflation dependent.

Recently, the EIA (US Energy Information Administration) projected a surge in US oil supply. It forecast that total US oil supply could increase from 12 million to 13.5 million barrels per day by the end of 2020. This is a substantial share of the world’s total oil supply. The timing is very opportune for the US economy and the rest of the world too, offsetting the supply issues OPEC and Russia face. US oil supply will stabilise oil prices in 2019.

Meanwhile, US-China trade talks are in ‘advanced stages’ and details will be finalised

when Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping meet in Florida, according to Trump. However, the issues to be resolved are complex and include the forced technology transfer prerequisites, intellectual property rights, the ‘Made in China 2025’ plan and mechanisms to enforce the agreed terms. China suspects these matters go beyond free trade and are partly designed to stymie Chinese economic and political ambitions.

There is a long way to go to resolve these issues and it could be a more protracted geopolitical contest than expected.

Over the past 20 years, the Japanese market has attracted investors during periods of rising optimism and, conversely, the market is the first to be cut when investors adopt a more cautious stance. This investment strategy has been warranted in the past given the high exposure to global trade and lack of alternative catalysts. However, it has been clear that the underlying dynamics of the market are changing and that this binary method of investing is no longer the optimal way to generate alpha in Japan.

Despite this, last year we saw investors again fall into old habits as increased concerns on the world economy led to global investors reducing their Japanese equity exposure at the quickest pace since 1987. The herding that exists in this trade will mean a continuation is to be expected for now, although we suspect investors finally accept the evidence that corporate Japan has changed.

One of the changes most welcomed by shareholders is their relationship with corporate management teams. Historically, Japanese management teams encouraged related companies to acquire shares in their business to protect them from the requests of more aggressive return-focused shareholders. This resulted in over-capitalised balance sheets and excess cash reserves.

However, pressure from Japanese regulators has changed the landscape. In 2018, Japanese

corporates conducted a record level of share buybacks, increasing 44% year-on-year to record levels.

We expect the continued bottom-up changes in the Japanese market will subtly have an impact on equity prices over the coming years. This, in combination with a market that already trades on extremely attractive valuations allows us to take an optimistic view over the coming years. Granted, the market will remain exposed to the global economy but, barring a severe global recession, Japanese share prices over the coming years seem well supported.

ASEAN’s combined GDP of $2.8trn is expected to grow by 5% per annum after inflation over the next five years, driven by both domestic consumption and investment growth. The bloc is currently the seventh-largest economy in the world, and is projected to become the fourth-largest by 2050.

Manufacturers are shifting operations from China to Southeast Asia due to lower overall costs, increases in domestic consumption, improving physical infrastructure and concerns about US tariffs on Chinese manufactured goods. This has called for a further increase in infrastructure spending, which will boost GDP growth. According to the Asian Development Bank, South East Asia needs to spend an estimated $2.7trn on infrastructure between 2016 and 2030, equivalent to 7% of its current GDP per annum.

In Thailand, for example, $43bn will be invested in the Eastern Economic Corridor, a new hub for technological manufacturing and services, in the next five years.

While credit to GDP is above 100% in most Asian and Western countries, it is less than 50% in Indonesia and the Philippines, which should lead to several years of strong loan growth ahead, powering those economies and their banks’ profits.

In the short term, the economies of Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines will get a boost from pre-election spending,

given voters are going to the polls in March, April and May respectively in those countries.

ASEAN valuations are also reasonable. Its P/E ratio of 14.6x is at a slight discount to the MSCI World index on 15x. Meanwhile, foreign investors were big sellers of these markets in 2018 (the most in 20 years in some countries), and although they have returned as net buyers so far in 2019, it is in small scale versus the sales last year.

Making a confident prediction for an asset class’s prospects in normal market circumstances is challenging; doing so less than a month ahead of the UK’s theoretical exit from the EU risks even more ignominy than normal. While the intricacies of how the UK’s relationship with the EU will develop in the short-term are unknown, there is tangible evidence of the impact this is having on the domestic economy.

PMIs and general indicators of economic activity have steadily declined in recent months. Companies have understandably been less willing to commit capital to new projects, and this extends further than a handful of high-profile car manufacturers. It is certainly true that indicators of consumer economic wellbeing have been more robust than many would have imagined – employment data, wage growth and retail sales have all confounded expectations of late – but there is invariably a lag between what corporates experience and the economic prospects of the consumer.

Furthermore, there is a growing suspicion that many corporates have been more willing to take on staff than invest in plant and machinery, as the scope for them to reduce staff numbers quickly in a downturn is easier to execute than to reverse a significant piece of longer-term investment.

What does this mean for interest rates? The Bank of England has generally preferred to portray an even-handedness when commenting on its monetary policy intentions around Brexit, conveying a balanced

message between being willing to support the currency in the event of a disorderly exit, and standing ready to ease policy if necessary. Even if we make the bold assumption that some form of negotiated settlement is attained in the coming weeks, it would seem to be a huge leap of faith to conclude that this will herald a wave of new business activity and unbridled optimism around the future trading relationship the UK may have with the rest of Europe. The BoE will continue to err on the side of caution, which means those predicting significant negative returns from bond markets may be disappointed for a while yet.

As we enter the later stages of the economic cycle, coupled with ever-dominant geopolitical headlines, volatility is here to stay and can be overwhelming for investors. Correlations between bonds and equities have been elevated, while 2018 was a good reminder of how risk assets can exhibit volatility and that asset allocation does not pertain to risk allocation.

With rates on the rise and equities looking expensive, low-risk investments actually now have a real yield, despite the temptation to allocate to cash. Cash cushions, however, are not always that comfortable. Following a challenging Q4, for the year to 25 February, the S&P has returned 11.8% and the FTSE 100 9.4%, so derisking and waiting for a better entry point may have been costly.

Our analysis of asset allocations of wealth portfolios shows that average cash levels are at 9% for moderate risk mandates. Investors could, through a blend of direct, active and passive short-maturity bond allocations, enhance yield while maintaining liquidity and quality as part of the cash allocation.

There is also a growing interest in the alternatives space, which offers a combination of return enhancement, yield pickup, risk reduction, and inflation protection. Asset allocators are considering gold as a diversifier following more dovish tones from the US Federal Reserve, which has

seen the yellow metal rally 13% from its lows in August 2018.

Global assets specifically in the hedge fund industry have more than doubled from $1.4trn in 2008 to $3.2trn in 2017, albeit with mixed returns; the HFRI Equity index lost 1.2% in 2018 versus the MSCI World, which lost 3.3%. Alternatives provide little-to-no correlation to traditional asset classes over the longer term but investors should remain selective. With the growth of Newcits (alternative Ucits) products, choice is available within a regulated structure. However, we still observe 40% of the alternatives sleeve allocated solely to long/short equities and debt strategies. Clients can adopt a dynamic approach to alternative asset allocation to enhance risk-adjusted returns.
