Friday, May 10, 7:41 AM The Australian dollar (FXA) sinks below parity with the greenback for the first time since last June, a victim of a slowdown in the Aussie economy and weak commodity prices (the two are surely intertwined). Aussie stocks are rising along with the rest of the world, but the Australian Index Fund ETF (EWA) - unhedged against the currency - is lagging. 2 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move]
Tuesday, May 7, 10:14 AM The iShares Australia Index ETF (EWA -1.4%) gets a double-whammy as a rate cut overnight bangs the currency, but fails to ignite any sort of stock market rally, the ASX 200 -0.2%. U.S. fans of Oz need a hedged stock ETF. Is WisdomTree (which already offers AUSE) listening? Comment! [Global & FX]
Wednesday, April 3, 2:04 AM Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens has been reappointed for another three years ahead of the end of his first seven-year term in September. Since taking on the role in 2006, Stevens helped Australia avoid recession during the global slump of 2008-2009 and kept inflation in check. Stevens is "widely seen as a strong central bank governor from a global perspective," says former RBA economist Paul Bloxham. Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories]
Tuesday, April 2, 2:53 AM As expected, the Reserve Bank of Australia has maintained its key interest rate unchanged at 3% for the third consecutive month, explaining that global growth is "forecast to be a little below average for a time, but the downside risks appear to be reduced." Employment expenses continue to contained "and businesses are focusing on lifting efficiency," the RBA said. "These trends should help to keep inflation low." (PR) 1 Comment [Global & FX, Top Stories]
Wednesday, March 6, 1:57 AM Australian GDP climbs 3.6% in 2012, representing the strongest growth since 2007 and one of the best performances in the developed world as rising exports and resource investment offset a slump in manufacturing and construction. In Q4, GDP slips to +0.6% Q/Q from +0.7% in Q3 and vs consensus of +0.6%. On year, Q4 GDP stays at 3.1% vs consensus of 3%. The Aussie is +0.3% vs the USD. (PR) Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories]
Tuesday, March 5, 2:40 AM As expected, the Reserve Bank of Australia leaves its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3% but says there is "scope to ease policy further" if necessary. "Tactically it pays the RBA to be dovish because it keeps monetary conditions loose, and should hold the Aussie dollar down somewhat," says HSBC economist Paul Bloxham. Still, the Aussie is +0.35% vs the USD. (PR) Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories]
Monday, February 11, 10:39 AM Stocks outdo bonds as the 1.6K companies in the MSCI World Index yield 2.7% vs. 2.6% on the BAML Global Corporate Index, according to Bloomberg. Yielding just 6.1% the gap of junk bonds over equities is at its lowest since 1995. "Increasingly, dynamic capital allocators are being forced to consider equities," says one bullish strategist. 1 Comment
Friday, December 7, 2012, 3:05 PM Strubel Investment notes the horrid record of managements using cash for buybacks or M&A. Buybacks are simple - companies tend to do them when the share price is high (JPMorgan a classic example: It suspended purchases after the CIO loss with the stock near $30, and will rev them up again next year in the 40's). The top tax rates for dividends would have to rise to 70-80% to make them less valuable than the alternatives. 4 Comments [Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, November 28, 2012, 11:25 AM Why does high-yield in reference to bonds signal greater risk to investors, but high-dividend yield in reference to equities does not, wonders a fund strategist. When it comes to dividend ETFs, it pays to consider total return first, writes Paul Britt, as the yield and performance can vary ... widely. 2 Comments
Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 12:36 PM "An attempt to quantify ... a qualitative process," is how Morningstar's Josh Peters describes the creation of the Dividend Yield Focus Index. Most dividend indexes, he says, are entirely backward looking. Instead, Peters looks for an economic moat to protect against a dividend ever being cut. Thus far, it's working: The ETF benchmarked to the index (HDV) is outperforming DVY by a wide margin since the April 2011 launch. Comment! [Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 9:13 PM Currently weighting U.S. telecoms and utilities at zero in his dividend stock portfolio, Pimco's Brad Kinkelaar notes both sectors are trading at near off-the-chart premiums to their average relative multiple. Dividend investors would do better to look overseas, he says, where one can find companies that are growing, paying good dividends, and trading at better value. An excellent presentation. 7 Comments [Quick Ideas]
Saturday, October 6, 2012, 8:15 AM Despite a Dividend 100 Index up 10% in 2012, dividend bargains are there to be had, especially if you look outside the U.S., Brett Arends suggests. And managers point to three attractive sectors in particular: pharmaceuticals, big energy and telecoms. Individual issues like JNJ, T, VZ and some global oil stocks look good, as well as ETFs like IDV, though it may be financials-heavy. Comment! [Quick Ideas, Energy, Healthcare]
Tuesday, October 2, 2012, 7:55 AM Australian shares soar 1% and the aussie dives 0.5% following the RBA's surprise rate cut. The RBA controls short rates in Oz, but the question for aussie traders is whether the central bank has the power to weaken the aussie, which - through a tightening and loosening cycle over the past few years - has simply tagged along with the S&P 500. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
Thursday, September 27, 2012, 3:06 PM Lagging far behind for much of the year, an international (developed markets) dividend fund (IDV) has pulled ahead of the popular domestic DVY (while sporting a higher yield as well). An emerging markets dividend fund (DEM) continues to trail both. 2 Comments [Global & FX, U.S. Economy]
Thursday, August 23, 2012, 4:35 PM "Under the hood analysis" is a must for dividend ETF investors, says WisdomTree's Jeremy Schwartz. Screens at many funds will leave out Apple, for instance, which is now the 3rd largest dividend payer in the U.S. Other techs - now the fastest dividend growers around - face the same issue. Don't forget international exposure, where firms are more likely to pay dividends and offer a higher yield. 3 Comments [Quick Ideas]
Monday, August 13, 2012, 11:04 AM Just as with the U.S., dividends on emerging market stocks are the largest contributors to returns over time, and one popular EM dividend fund (DEM) has comfortably outpaced (with lower volatility as well) the MSCI Emerging Markets Fund (EEM) in the 5 years since its incpetion.
