White papersChina’s Growth Tremors: Risks, Opportunities And The Road Ahead
Economy: soft landing and light policy support. In terms of Chinese growth, we see the rate continuing to slow. Chinese GDP growth rose 6.0% in the third quarter of 2019 (Chinese authorities forecasted a range of 6.0%-6.5% YoY), the slowest pace since the early 1990s. Moving into 2020, we do expect that the new growth target will be set around 6.0%, if not lower, at between 5.5% and 6.0%, and our current forecast is confirmed at 5.8% YoY.Exports unsurprisingly have been weak, private capex has slowed notably, and public infrastructure has not picked up as expected. Going forward, we expect public infrastructure capex to accelerate, and the tight real estate policy stance to potentially moderate. Chinese policy mix remains stimulative, though in a very limited way so far and far away from the massive stimulus implemented in recent years.

While empirical evidence of the low-volatility factor has existed since the 1970’s, interest among investors grew in the wake of the global financial crisis, through exposure to low-risk strategies. The low-volatility factor became the “Hot Topic” from both an academic and an investment standpoint.

White papersEmerging Markets Charts & Views - A Tug Of War Between Weaker Growth And Looser Policies
Emerging economies have faced a backlash in the last few months as a consequence of the global economic weakness and the uncertainty related to global trade. This weighed on the performance of EM equities in the third quarter, although they recovered somewhat in September. EM debt proved more resilient, supported by investors’ appetite for yield. Idiosyncratic events (Argentina, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, to name a few) also impacted the overall more fragile environment for EM.

White papersRemastering Volatility: Reducing Noise in Equity Allocations
Volatility is a challenge that has vexed equity investors for decades and has been amplified in today’s low interest-rate environment. As many investors reach for higher-return assets to help meet future obligations, they are likely to be more exposed to the higher inherent volatility that stocks add to an allocation. In this paper, we examine the root causes of volatility to provide a holistic perspective on risk-management solutions for the current complex environment. Distinguishing between market risk, factor risk and stock-specific risk can help investors identify the most appropriate strategic solutions to combat volatility and ensure that they are compensated for the risk in their equity portfolios.
