For many people, the focus of attention has been on China, seen as a major source of resilience for the global economy. The successful pump priming of its economy, buoyed also by the US finally stabilising, has led some investors to become a little complacent about the risks in terms of the emerging market outlook. While there are solid long-term arguments for seeking to benefit from trends in these countries, it also behoves us to take a look at the world through a somewhat less rose-tinted prism. A number of emerging economies markets, including China, face complex challenges.http://www.standardlifeinvestments.com/press_office/press_releases/citywire_emerging_markets.htmlTue, 13 Oct 2009 9:00:00 GMT2009-10-1309:0013 October 200909:00citywire_emerging_markets.htmlAs global markets show further signs of stabilisation, we continue to monitor the pricing of listed property markets as a good barometer of recovery in underlying commercial property markets.

Dies dürfte in Anbetracht der jüngsten Finanzkrise, der dadurch entstandenen Rezession und der zahlreichen politischen Initiativen kaum überraschen. Allerdings werden die Finanzmärkte von einer Vielzahl von Faktoren beeinflusst, von denen einige eine wesentlich längerfristige Wirkung haben. Demografische Trends, die Lebensumstände, die Bevölkerungsstrukturen und der Bevölkerungswandel in den verschiedenen Ländern und Regionen gehören zu den wichtigsten Beispielen. Daher ist es wichtig, dass die Anleger sich der demografischen Entwicklungen bewusst sind und wissen, inwiefern sie das derzeitige Wirtschaftsklima beeinflussen, und umgekehrt, und welche Auswirkung sie wahrscheinlich auf die verschiedenen Schlüsselsektoren und –märkte haben. Viele der wahrscheinlichen Triebfedern des nächsten Konjunkturzyklus – beispielsweise die Nachfrage nach Infrastruktur, Gesundheitsversorgung und Altersvorsorge, die Diskussion über Kohlendioxidemissionen und erneuerbare Energien oder der ausgeglichene Wettbewerb zwischen Schwellenländern und Industrieländern – sind mit tiefgreifenden Bevölkerungsentwicklungen verbunden. http://www.standardlifeinvestments.com/press_office/press_releases/asset_avenue_frances_hudson_de.htmlThu, 10 Sep 2009 9:00:00 GMT2009-09-1009:0010 September 200909:00asset_avenue_frances_hudson_de.htmlThe time horizons of many investors are rather short at present. This should come as no surprise in view of the recent financial crisis, the ensuing economic recession and the plethora of policy initiatives. However, financial markets are driven by a wide range of factors, some of which are much longer term in nature.http://www.standardlifeinvestments.com/press_office/press_releases/asset_avenue_frances_hudson_en.htmlThu, 10 Sep 2009 9:00:00 GMT2009-09-1009:0010 September 200909:00asset_avenue_frances_hudson_en.htmlThe General Retail sector has performed well this year driven by higher than expected consumer spending, due to lower mortgage rates, and the recovery in the housing market. Another theme this year is the fact that the equity issuance has been taken as a positive as the market has responded well to stocks which have been seen to address their balance sheet/debt issues. One stock which benefits from all of the above is DSGI, formerly known as Dixons.http://www.standardlifeinvestments.com/press_office/press_releases/scotsman_one_to_watch.htmlWed, 09 Sep 2009 9:00:00 GMT2009-09-0909:0009 September 200909:00scotsman_one_to_watch.htmlBuying stocks exposed to large ticket consumer spending in the teeth of a recession may feel foolhardy; however those companies that survive are likely to prosper as competitors fall by the wayside and economic conditions improve.http://www.standardlifeinvestments.com/press_office/press_releases/one_to_watch_galiform.htmlFri, 28 Aug 2009 9:00:00 GMT2009-08-2809:0028 August 200909:00one_to_watch_galiform.htmlFollowing significant fiscal and monetary stimulus, optimism regarding a US economic recovery is building with the change in 3Q09 GDP expected to be a positive 2.2% following a 1.0% decline in 2Q09 and a worse 6.4% contraction in the March 2009 quarter. http://www.standardlifeinvestments.com/press_office/press_releases/investment_week_us_article.htmlThu, 27 Aug 2009 9:00:00 GMT2009-08-2709:0027 August 200909:00investment_week_us_article.htmlOne of the risks that commentators highlight in the foreign exchange market is the risk of a US Dollar crash. In the past there was the worry over twin deficits and more recently there have been attacks on monetary policy that critics say could cause an inflation spiral and a debasement of the currency. The fear was that Asian and Middle Eastern Central Bank Reserves Managers’ (the main holders of Treasury securities) would sell out causing a crisis in the US currency.http://www.standardlifeinvestments.com/press_office/press_releases/fx_and_mm_currency_wrap_20082009.htmlThu, 20 Aug 2009 9:00:00 GMT2009-08-2009:0020 August 200909:00fx_and_mm_currency_wrap_20082009.htmlStock markets have rebounded sharply from spring lows. Financial market tensions are easing. Is all well with the world? I would argue that many pitfalls still lie ahead, as investors navigate a complex new business environment. While politicians temporarily bask in the glory of an end to recession, they face a host of questions about how they deal with the aftermath. Economies need to re-balance, whether households shifting from credit driven consumption back towards sensible levels of saving, countries, overly reliant on the financial sector revive manufacturing and other services, or rich countries such as the US become capital exporters rather than relying on capital from the BRICs. http://www.standardlifeinvestments.com/press_office/press_releases/financial_times_insight_column.htmlWed, 19 Aug 2009 9:00:00 GMT2009-08-1909:0019 August 200909:00financial_times_insight_column.htmlA substantial credit rally has materialised in recent weeks. The chart below shows the additional yield over government bonds of Sterling credit (non gilts). It illustrates a substantial spike higher during the thick of the financial crisis in 2008, but also a rally from March of this year. One key message throughout this period is that the market retains a premium over levels seen before Lehman collapsed. Given many corporates can now fund themselves relatively easily – this premium seems generous. It has been a volatile first half with financial debt substantially underperforming corporate debt in Q1 but recovering strongly in Q2.

Time consuming? Yes, but in depth discussion with so many experts allows me to build up an excellent picture of what is going on in the world, what are the key drivers, what might cause the market to change its mind. Change its mind it certainly has – looking at the FTSE100 index, there have been four distinct up and down phases so far this year, each large enough to have a material impact on the value of an investor’s portfolio. How can we take advantage of such volatility, or should investors look to the bigger picture?http://www.standardlifeinvestments.com/press_office/press_releases/the_herald_fundamentals.htmlMon, 27 Jul 2009 9:00:00 GMT2009-07-2709:0027 July 200909:00the_herald_fundamentals.htmlWe expect a recovery from the current global recession starting at the end of this year. We also expect the recovery phase to be long and slow with economic growth rates in the developed world well below trend. Inflation and interest rates will remain lower for longer. Interest rate differentials have historically been a significant driver of the currency market but under the current economic outlook we do not expect this factor to have much impact. http://www.standardlifeinvestments.com/press_office/press_releases/fx_and_mm_currency_wrap_17_07_2009.htmlFri, 17 Jul 2009 9:00:00 GMT2009-07-1709:0017 July 200909:00fx_and_mm_currency_wrap_17_07_2009.htmlMost commentators in financial markets are concerned with a short-term debate, whether the economic recession will end in 2009 and a recovery continue next year. Equity and bond markets wax and wane, and funds flow into and out of high risk emerging equities or defensive gilts, as the latest piece of economic news is interpreted one way or another. This is only one of several possible outcomes though which investors need to plan for. If the recovery falters then deflation could become entrenched, with adverse implications for company profits. Conversely, politicians may still decide that a period of high inflation is one of the best solutions to the current economic problems. http://www.standardlifeinvestments.com/press_office/press_releases/fund_strategy_inflation_deflation_and_the_implications_for_investors.htmlMon, 13 Jul 2009 9:00:00 GMT2009-07-1309:0013 July 200909:00fund_strategy_inflation_deflation_and_the_implications_for_investors.htmlWhile it is too early to be confident in the timing of an economic recovery in Japan, there are at least some signs that the situation is improving significantly.http://www.standardlifeinvestments.com/press_office/press_releases/investment_week_japan_article.htmlThu, 02 Jul 2009 9:00:00 GMT2009-07-0209:0002 July 200909:00investment_week_japan_article.htmlWhat will the UK economy look like at the end of the recession?

In the UK, the IPD index fell over 20% in 2008. We warn that further moderate declines should be seen in 2009, reflecting the deep economic recession. However, investors should not be too bearish. The attractions of investing in property are beginning to become more apparent; indeed there has already been a revival in some areas such as real estate investment trusts (see chart 1). An improvement in listed real estate has in the past led the recovery in the underlying direct property market by around six months.
