4. Outlook
4. Sector Outlook
Rail
The end of 2013 saw the rollout of a new EU budget and a revised infrastructure policy which included a
threefold increase in transport infrastructure funding for the EU. The new policy lays the groundwork for a
unified trans-Europe rail system by 2030 that would augur well on the future demand outlook for railway
equipment.
Residential
The housing market in Australia rebounded strongly in 2013, ending the year with a 9.8% gain, according to the
RP Data-Rismark Home Value Index for capital city.
Unemployment rate in Australia has remained relatively stable and ended the year at 5.8%, up just 0.4% since
the start of 2013. The Reserve Bank of Australia is expected to maintain interest rates at low levels that will
lend support to the housing market by keeping loan costs affordable.
Corporate Loans
Prices of global corporate loans have continued to increase in 2013, supported by a benign credit environment,
and strong demand from CLOs as well as other loan funds.
The Moody's Global Speculative-Grade Corporate default rate has declined from 2.8% at end 2012 to 2.6% at
end 2013. Citing strong balance sheet fundamentals, supported by a somewhat more robust economic growth
outlook for the developed market, Moody’s expects global corporate default rates to end 2014 slightly lower.
19
4. Sector Outlook
Listed Equities
Overall, equities in the developed markets rose in 2013 as central banks in the US, Japan and Europe
continued their quantitative easing policy in an effort to stimulate economic recovery.
However, the emerging equity markets underperformed, weighed down by concerns over the timing of the Fed's
tapering on its asset purchasing program and the slowdown in the Chinese economy. Currencies of some
emerging countries with high current account imbalances and inflation depreciated rapidly as global liquidity
withdrew and moved to the developed markets.
The near term outlook for equities is expected to be cautious and volatile due to lingering worries over the
earlier than expected Fed's tapering as well as the economic slowdown and banking problems in China.
Improved prospects of recovery in the major economies such as Europe, US and Japan, in the generally low
interest rate environment should be supportive to equity markets in the long term.
Bonds
The performance of the global bonds ended the year much weaker than the start on tapering fears.
With the Fed’s decision to begin tapering, the outlook for global credits are likely to remain muted. The possible
headwinds include a possible rise in US Treasury yield, currency volatility as well as political uncertainty in many
countries.
20
4. Company Outlook
Future Direction and Growth Strategy of GIL
To grow its assets and seek new investment in assets that will generate steady income and potential
appreciation in capital to deliver regular dividends and achieve capital growth.
Active management of GIL’s assets with focus to protect and grow value.
Investment Objective
Investment opportunities in high yield bond, hybrid instruments and public equity investments, operating
lease assets, and single loans and loan portfolio assets.
To be selective in the current environment, focusing on fundamental bottom-up analysis, with preference
for assets with defensive characteristics, and good cashflow generating ability.
