Guidelines
11
• Total equity exposure is a blunt measure: Which equity is owned?
• Interest rate sensitive equity, property, and bonds are correlated
• SA domestic equity and emerging market equity are correlated
• Deep cyclical and EM assets are correlated
• Rand hedge shares and offshore assets are correlated
Note: Extreme valuations can cause correlations to break down
A disciplined stock-selection process is essential
