Investment conclusion
• ‘New normal’ is now the consensus
• Deleveraging and rebalancing set to continue for years
• US – growth risk in 2013China – structural slowdown underwayEurope – stress / intervention cycle to continue
• Policy risks are high
• Further monetary loosening is certain
• Crisis presents an extraordinary valuation opportunity
32 global investment management
Implications for portfolio construction
• Subdued growth low return expectations
• Continued deleveraging and tight credit financial strength is critical
• High tail risks high volatility
• Cyclical move down in commodities has further to run
• Deflation protection in safe haven bonds
• Income generating assets important• safe dividend equities• corporate bonds• emerging market bonds
Focus on:Diversification by asset classQuality defensive equitiesInflation not today’s problem – but might be the end gameExploit tactical opportunities

information is intended solely for use by our clients or prospective clients, and should not be reproduced or distributed except via original recipients acting as professional intermediaries.
This document is not for distribution in the United States.
Prospective investors should inform themselves and if need be take appropriate advice regarding applicable legal, taxation and exchange control regulations in countries of their citizenship,
residence or domicile which may be relevant to the acquisition, holding, transfer, redemption or disposal of any investments herein solicited.
Any opinions expressed herein are those at the date this material is issued. Data, models and other statistics are sourced from our own records, unless otherwise stated herein. We believe
that the information contained is from reliable sources, but we do not guarantee the relevance, accuracy or completeness thereof. Unless otherwise provided under UK law, Momentum
Global Investment Management does not accept liability for irrelevant, inaccurate or incomplete information contained, or for the correctness of opinions expressed.
We caution that the value of investments in discretionary accounts, and the income derived, may fluctuate and it is possible that an investor may incur losses, including a loss of the principal
invested. Past performance is not generally indicative of future performance. Investors whose reference currency differs from that in which the underlying assets are invested may be subject
to exchange rate movements that alter the value of their investments.
Our investment mandates in alternative strategies and hedge funds permit us to invest in unregulated funds that may be highly volatile. Although alternative strategies funds will seek to
follow a wide diversification policy, these funds may be subject to sudden and/or large falls in value. The illiquid nature of the underlying funds is such that alternative strategies funds deal
infrequently and require longer notice periods for redemptions. These Investments are therefore not readily realisable. If an alternative strategies fund fails to perform, it may not be possible
to realise the investment without further loss in value. These unregulated funds may engage in the short selling of securities or may use a greater degree of gearing than is permitted for
regulated funds (including the ability to borrow for a leverage strategy). A relatively small price movement may result in a disproportionately large movement in the investment value. The
purpose of gearing is to achieve higher returns associated with larger investment exposures, but has concomitant exposure to loss if positive performance is not achieved. Reliable
information about the value of an investment in an alternative strategies fund may not be available (other than at the fund’s infrequent valuation points).
Under our multi-management arrangements, we selectively appoint underlying sub-investment managers and funds to actively manage underlying asset holdings in the pursuit of achieving
mandated performance objectives. Annual investment management fees are payable both to the multimanager and the manager of the underlying assets at rates contained in the offering
documents of the relevant portfolios (and may involve performance fees where expressly indicated therein).
