Economic Outlook and Investment Strategy: The Great Reopening

The slides are available here.

Remark: These are the views of the research team in the bank J Safra Sarasin, and do not necessarily reflect how the portfolios are positioned.

 

Global Macro

  • Global inventory restocking, $2.8trn of fiscal support, and possibly another big US infrastructure bill later this year should support a strong global recovery this year and next, despite slowing momentum in China.
  • European governments will remove restrictions only very gradually given the more contagious strains of the virus and a slow start of the vaccination campaign. But a wider distribution of vaccines later this year sets the stage for a broad economic recovery in Europe too.
  • Inflation to be volatile this year due to base effects. The release of pent-up demand in 2H21 and some capacity constraints in sectors that have been hit hard by the crisis should lead to higher inflation going into 2022.
  • The expected increase in US inflation is likely to be more persistent than what the Fed currently implies. Still, its new framework means that it will probably raise rates a bit later and a bit more gradually than what is currently priced in.

 

Asset class views

 

Fixed income

  • Prefer short over a long duration, TIPS over nominals
  • Prefer High Yield to Investment Grade in credit

Global equities

  • Balance of risks shifting as macro momentum is closer to the peak.
  • Reduce cyclical exposure and add attractively valued defensives (e.g. European pharma)

FX

  • Near term, rising yields constitute USD upside risk
  • Medium-term, USD to resume to its downward trend, cyclical currencies to benefit

 

Asset allocation

  • Bonds: Underweight
  • Equities: Overweight equities, with a focus on Europe, reduce cyclical exposure, downgrade Financials and Energy to neutral

The approach allows generating positive returns independently of the market direction. In this presentation, Alpha Growth Capital will review why quant investing might have a hedge vs. strategic market bets, the statistical-based approach used for its core strategy NEXT-alpha and the pros’ and con’s associated with more sophisticated methods like machine and deep learning.
