COMMENTARY*
• The final communique of China’splenum pointed to some prioritiescritical to China’s long-term growth:relaxation of the one child policy,establishment of deposit insurance,easing of IPO restrictions, allowingthe creation of privately-owned me-dium/small banks, and an opening ofthe nation’s capital account.
• The ECB surprised markets with itsdecision to cut its official rate to0.25%. It is a late recognition thatthe Bank had been too restrictivein the face of deflation and slowinggrowth. Renewed asset purchasesmay follow.
• Typhoon Haiyan wreaked destructionin the Philippines. From an economicperspective it may amount to 5% ofthe nation’s GDP. Unfortunately, com-pared to recent experiences in Japanand the U.S., the amount covered byinsurance appears much lower.
• In Venezuela, Nicolas “I’m wag-ing a war against private business”Maduro is turning out to be HugoChavez’s perfect successor. Where dothey find these guys?

DISCLOSURES
The MSCI indices presented in this
publication are free float-adjusted
market capitalization indexes
that are designed to measure
equity market performance of
the geographic areas described.
These indexes are presented with
net dividends reinvested, in U.S.
dollars. They are unmanaged and
uninvestable and do not reflect
any transaction costs.
The information in this publica-
tion is based primarily on data
available as of November 29,
2013 and has been obtained from
sources believed to be reliable, but
its accuracy, completeness and
interpretation are not guaranteed.
In addition, this publication con-
tains the opinions of the authors
as of that date and such opinions
are subject to change without
notice. We do not think this publi-
cation should necessarily be relied
on as a sole source of information
and opinion.
This publication has been distrib-
uted for informational purposes
only and is not a recommenda-
tion of, or an offer to sell or
solicitation of an offer to buy any
particular security, strategy or
investment product. It does not
take into account the particular
investment objectives, financial
situations or needs of individual
clients. Any references to specific
securities are included solely as
general market commentary and
were selected based on criteria
unrelated to Bailard’s portfolio
recommendations or past perfor-
mance of any security held in any
Bailard account or fund. Investing
in international stocks is riskier
than investing in U.S. stocks. In
addition to market risk and the
risk of losing money, international
stocks may be affected by fluctua-
tions in currency exchange rates,
different accounting and financial
standards, social upheavals
and political actions. Emerging
market securities may be more
susceptible to these risks. Charts
and performance information
portrayed in this publication
are not indicative of the past or
future performance of the Bailard
International Equity Strategy or
any other Bailard product. Past
performance is no indication of
future results. Bailard cannot
provide investment advice in any
jurisdiction where it is prohibited
from doing so.
