Quarterly Considerations March 31, 2019

Page 2: Quarterly Considerations March 31, 2019

Fixed Income

• Fixed income markets finished the

quarter higher, led by high yield bonds

which broadly benefited from “risk on”

appetite amongst investors.

• Credit and longer-dated bonds

outperformed for the quarter with

assistance from the Federal Reserve.

The Fed announced on March 20 a

pause to raising rates for 2019 and a

moderation in the rundown of its balance

sheet.

Equities

• Equity markets rebounded in the first

quarter of 2019 after a volatile end to

2018. Small capitalization names

generally outperformed their large

capitalization peers. Growth names

outperformed value, continuing a multi-

year trend.

• International developed and emerging

markets both lagged domestic peers.

China outperformed as avenues toward

direct investment in the country continue

to open.

Real Assets

• Within real assets, midstream energy and

real estate both outperformed. Investor

sentiment within midstream continued to

increase as oil prices rose on positive

fundamental data.

• Domestic REITs outperformed

international as declining interest rates and

a stronger U.S. dollar aided relative value.

• Hedge funds, particularly those targeting

lower beta, underperformed in the strong

up market.

• Fourth quarter real Gross Domestic Product (real GDP) increased at an

annual rate of 2.2 percent according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis,

reflecting a downward revision of 0.4 percentage points from the initial

estimate and a decrease from the rate of 3.4 percent in the third quarter.

• The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted at its March meeting to

maintain the target Federal Funds rate between 2.25 and 2.5 percent. The

Fed signaled that it likely would not hike rates again this year and reduced

its expectation for 2019 real GDP growth by 0.2 percentage points to 2.1

percent.

• Core CPI rose 2.15 percent on a year-over-year, seasonally-adjusted (YoY,

SA) basis in January while Core PCE, the Fed’s preferred measure of

inflation, increased 1.79 percent (YoY, SA), falling short of the Fed’s 2%

target.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC UPDATE

• China’s official Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) increased to 50.5 in March from 49.2 in February. This level is indicative of economic

expansion and is a sign that the Chinese economy may be stabilizing. The unofficial Caixin/Markit PMI, a private survey focused more on small-and

medium-sized businesses, increased to 50.8 in March from 49.9 in February. The U.S. and China are reportedly nearing an agreement on a trade deal,

which would reduce economic uncertainty and could provide a boost to global economic growth.

• Germany, the largest Eurozone economy, experienced a 4.2 percent decrease in new factory orders on a month-over-month basis in February. On a year-

over-year (YoY) basis, new factory orders decreased by 8.4 percent, the largest contraction since the wake of the financial crisis in 2009.

• In March the European Central Bank (ECB) reduced its forecast for GDP growth down to 1.1 percent and brought back a crisis era lending program called

Targeted Longer-Term Refinancing Operations aimed at providing banks with cheap financing in order to spur lending.

GLOBAL FIXED INCOME

• Interest rates continued to move downward, as the 10-year U.S.

Treasury fell by 0.27 percentage points following more

accommodative statements from the Fed signaling a pause in Fed

Funds rate hikes and the unwinding of its balance sheet.

• Fixed income asset classes were positive across global bond

markets, with U.S. high yield leading performance alongside a

very strong quarter for equities after the rapid selloff at the end

of 2018.

• Despite elevated concerns around the path towards Brexit, the

British Pound rallied during the quarter alongside several

emerging markets currencies.

• The Fed signaled a pause in the unwinding of its balance sheet and

increases in the Fed Funds rate spurring a downward movement in

interest rates across the curve, causing the 3-month and 10-year

Treasury rates to invert.

• Credit spreads retraced during the quarter following a late December

sell off, resulting in U.S. high yield outperforming global fixed income

asset classes.

• TIPS outperformed Treasuries by 1.9 percentage points as inflation

expectations increased.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS

U.S. Equities:

• Within U.S. equities, the technology sector outperformed, lending to outperformance of

growth stocks broadly. Mid cap companies outperformed both small and large across

investment styles. Healthcare and financials were the worst performing sectors.

• International equities rose; however, they were unable to keep pace with domestic stocks.

China outperformed as their markets have continued to see increasing investor interest as the

government creates more avenues for foreign investment.

• Brexit news continued to create headlines, but investors were able to shrug off the potential

risks as the UK posted strong returns among international developed countries. Canada also

performed well on the back of stronger oil prices over the course of the quarter.

REAL ASSETS

• Real assets finished sharply higher during the first quarter. Master

Limited Partnerships (MLPs) and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

outperformed both domestic and international equity markets while

Commodities also moved higher on strength from energy sectors.

• Lower interest rates benefited REITs as pricing and transaction volume

remained robust. Office REITs led property types, but all ended the

quarter higher.

• The Alerian MLP Index rose dramatically after an underwhelming end to

2018. Sentiment in the asset class was much improved during the quarter

as volumes, outlook and energy pricing all supported the move higher.

• Commodities rose as energy, particularly oil, prices were higher. Grains

fell while precious metals ended the quarter flat.

HEDGE FUNDS

• The HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index was positive during the first quarter, outperforming most fixed income indices but underperforming risk-

seeking assets such as equities and real assets.

• Equity Hedge strategies outperformed the broader hedge fund universe with strong returns concentrated in healthcare and technology strategies and

muted returns in market neutral strategies.

• Event Driven strategies were in line with the broader hedge fund universe with activist managers leading the group and multi-strategy funds within

the Event Driven space trailing the benchmark.

• Macro strategies were the weakest performer during the first quarter amongst the broader hedge fund universe as currency strategies posted

negative returns.

• While Relative Value modestly underperformed the broader hedge fund universe convertible arbitrage managers performed well within the space.
