Global macro economic environment
![Page 12: Coronation - Senate Group Nov 2015](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58ede8d61a28ab711b8b458f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
US the only major economy ready to start hiking interest rates • Although we do not expect a sharp cycle the improving economy no longer warrants zero interest rates
• The big medium term (historical) reason for EM falling out of favour… remember the taper tantrum?
Chinese stock market volatility must not be seen as a predictor of the economy • But the economy has slowed and a hard landing remains the greatest global macro worry
• Fears about China is the proximate cause for August’s return of volatility
• Policy has become more stimulatory as the economic slowdown continues
Greece got to the edge of the cliff but not quite over it• Caused initial spike in volatility and eventual Grexit remains a possibility
• No-one cares for now as the can has been kicked down the road
� Expect to hear about Greece again in 2017…
• Deflation still the ECB’s major focus... no interest rate hikes on the horizon here
Commodity prices fall further• Commodity producer currencies very weak
Unsynchronized growth

Future of emerging markets

EMs are caught in a macro driven storm
• Concerns over Chinese growth combined with Fed hike expectations and a strong USD
• There has been a collapse in EM since the Chinese stock market started declining with an acceleration since the renminbi was devalued by ±3%
• Many commodities and EM currencies are at levels not seen since the ‘90’s
• Capital outflows from EM are now being compared to those of the GFC
Surge in EM outflows hits share prices and currencies
…yet life continues to go on for the companies in wh ich we invest, their long term prospects are attractive and valuations are ve ry low
![Page 21: Coronation - Senate Group Nov 2015](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58ede8d61a28ab711b8b458f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Not a fair illustration of the opportunities available in emerging markets
MSCI GEM Index
![Page 22: Coronation - Senate Group Nov 2015](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58ede8d61a28ab711b8b458f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
21
Large MSCI GEM index holdings mostly are/have:• Below average businesses – banks, energy, tech hardware
• Significant state ownership / state regulation
• Poor stewards of capital
• Cyclical earnings
An investment in these companies does NOT represent the opportunity set in EM
If you invest in poor businesses, expect poor long term returns
Right now:• Global macroeconomic environment is uncertain and looks especially poor in EMs
• Expect volatility to continue but in EMs you can find…
• Great businesses� At attractive valuations� With powerful long term structural drivers� That make great long term investments� And can’t be captured in the DM space
Think beyond the index
![Page 23: Coronation - Senate Group Nov 2015](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58ede8d61a28ab711b8b458f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Brazilian Private Education – why invest?

Government target not very aggressive

DL centres exclusively private sector run
Private sector has taken 90% of new campus
students over this period
Powerful incentive to study further given uptick in
lifetime earning potential
Tertiary education almost non-existent outside the wealthy

31
It is normal to second guess allocation to an asset class when it has underperformed so significantly BUT
A long term specific allocation to GEM is still appropriate
Global equity managers are generally structurally underweight GEM• Where global managers do invest in GEM it tends to be a narrow universe of the biggest, most liquid
names in the asset class
Industry structural drivers that are common in GEM are simply not present in DM
All asset class returns may be lower going forward
Cannot afford to miss out on long term return opportunities where they are available
Why invest directly in GEM?

GEM share of world GDP is up from 35% in 1993 to 50% today
FX reserves in EM were half of DM in 2000, they are now double that of DM
There has been (and will continue to be) improvement in economic situations
• E.g. Brazil Debt/GDP is half what it was in 2002
Foreign direct investment into GEM has increased 10 fold from 2005 to 2014
• This is 30% faster than in DM
While EM companies represented 5% of the Fortune Global 500 from 1980 to 2000, they are now 26%
Set backs currently experienced resulting from rising US rates, shrinking commodity demand and a slowing global economy are normal and have been witnessed in most economies over time
GEM has survived two massive crises in the recent past: Asian crisis of 1998 and the GFC of 2008 and come out of each stronger
GEM will learn from this crisis and emerge stronger, and increasingly relevant
GEM will remain relevant

SA vs. GEM• GEM is a very different investment set from SA
• SA has also provided great long term returns despite volatility
DM vs. EM valuations• Upside to fair value on most stocks in our GEM coverage list far exceeds that in DM
“Hot money” is fleeing EMs• These investors were never making long term allocations
• “Smart money” should not be influenced by the actions of “quick money”
Market performance vs. economic performance & company performance• Dislocation between company performance and macroeconomic environment
• Recessions are often good for businesses over the long term� Weaker players exit => reduces excess capacity� Market share increases for the remainder
• Stock markets move out of sync with economic performance� Don’t disinvest when (macro) times are tough� Don’t invest only when times are good� A long term, through the cycle allocation is appropriate� Size of allocation depends on valuations, which are very attractive today
Some final points to consider
![Page 36: Coronation - Senate Group Nov 2015](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58ede8d61a28ab711b8b458f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

36
Low commodity prices and sluggish growth in trading partners undermining exports
Reserve Bank intent on normalizing interest rates but in the weak economy a very mild cycle anticipated
Lower oil has taken some pressure off inflation
Combination of rising interest rates and a sluggish economy not good for already highly rated domestic equities
Global environment a headwind, but we have added to our woes by scoring own goals:
• Eskom – big blow to confidence and growth
• The visa debacle
• Poor fiscal discipline
• Corruption and wasteful spending at SOE’s
Downward commodity cycle and own goals

Our exposure to domestic equities is low across all balanced funds on valuation grounds
Massive divergence continues• Resources has sold off dramatically
• Bid for SAB at very high multiple
Corporate action in the platinum sector encouraging
Banks relatively attractive
More SA companies looking to expand off-shore• Mediclinic, Truworths, Foschini, Brait, Woolworths, Steinhoff among the more recent movers
JSE listed global stocks such as Naspers, Richemont, MTN, Steinhoff and British American Tobacco continues to offer the SA investor much needed geographic diversification and offers reasonable value

JSE classification shows basic materials as 28% in Top 20 and 23% in Equity
9% / 6% is Mondi which is anything but a typical resource company
19% / 17% in ‘traditional’ resource companies
On a look through basis roughly half of this is SA based mines and the rest is outside of SA
Predominantly exposed to diversified miners and Platinum
Lower risk commodities with less ‘China’ risk

The current outlook for commodity demand is weak across the board• Weakness in China, the major engine of demand growth
• Rest of the world struggling too
• Longer term threats of electric vehicles and renewable energy gaining traction
Most commodities are in oversupply (still growing or not closing quickly enough)• Barriers to exit is likely to keep supply in the market for longer than expected
• Last supercycle projects still being delivered
• Governments often support loss-making industries to protect jobs
Earnings have already collapsed and at spot prices most commodity companies are under increasing pressure and earnings and cash flows will be low
Despite this, we believe the valuations of the mining companies are attractive enough to warrant a reasonable position in our funds
• We prefer commodities where supply growth will be more muted in the long-term� Platinum, copper, diamonds
• We prefer companies with high quality, low cost, long life assets� Impala and Northam� Anglo American� Sasol

45% of industry production unable to cover cash costs
70% of industry production unable to cover cash costs + sustaining capex
Only mines viable at these prices are
• Amplat’s open pit Mogalakwena (needs more capex)
• Zimbabwe – comes with its own specific set of challenges (ownership, taxes) etc.
Logical response: cut loss making production
Seen some of this already:
• Amplats: 400k oz. at Rustenburg and Union
• Lonmin: 100k oz.
Barriers to exit in the industry are high:
• Reducing labour incredibly difficult
• Overheads spread over a smaller production base � increasing unit costs
Consequences are severe

General commodity sell-off

• Platinum: jewellery demand
• Palladium: auto sales

• UBER
• Ride-sharing

SA and Zimbabwe have 55% of global supply of PGMs
Autocats absorb 45% of Platinum and 80% of Palladium... tightening emission controls a positive
30% of Platinum goes into jewellery
• Predominantly China where increasing wealth levels and rise of middle income consumer are long term drivers
PGMs less dependent on China than most base metals
PGMs have some attractive fundamental drivers

Trading on PE’s of 5-6x normal earnings

Bonds • Excessively low and even negative bond yields for low risk sovereigns offer no value
• Domestic bonds offer relatively far better value
• Corporate debt preferred to government debt
Equities• Global (fairly valued) preferred to domestic (expensive)
• Within global equities EM’s certainly cheaper but with clearly higher risk
Property• On a bottom-up view we find some value in selected counters but in general the very low bond yields
have pushed global property yields too low
• Domestic property has likewise run hard but in a low yield world and relative to very pricey equities offers reasonable value

Commodities near the end of the down cycle as evidenced by many loss making producers
GEM currencies (tougher to call) have experienced a big cycle already• There could be even more pain, but its difficult to argue the pain has just started
Developed world stocks trade around fair value
GEM stock markets have had a deep down cycle, now offering far more upside than downside
SA stock market has held up quite well. Many high quality stocks trading at very high multiples in a low growth economy. Downside risk not to be ignored
The lower return world we have warned about repeatedly is here
Most upside can be found in bombed out cyclical sectors, but uncertainty around global and domestic growth limits our appetite for these stocks
Investment outlookWhere are we in the cycle?

“Investment risk resides most where it is least perceived, and vice versa. When
everyone believes something is risky, the unwillingness to buy usually reduces its price to the point where it is not risky at
all. Broadly negative opinion can make it the least risky thing, since all optimism has been driven from the price… When everyone believes something embodies no risk, they usually bid it up to the point where it’s enormously risky. As no risk is
feared, no reward for risk bearing is demanded or provided. That can make
the thing that is most esteemed the riskiest”
- Howard Marks, Oaktree
