Monday, May 20, 9:47 AM UBS' 5 "suspected" asset bubbles: 1) Risk-free rates - specifically Treasurys (TLT), Bunds (BUND, BUNL), JGBs (JGBL, JGBT, JGBD, JGBS) 2) Credit (HYG, JNK) 3) Real estate in Asia (WPS) 4) Certain EM equity markets (EIDO, IDXJ, EPHE, THD, EWW) 5) Australian banks (WBK, NABZY.PK, ANZBY.PK, CMWAY.PK). Comment!
Tuesday, May 14, 10:42 AM "Contrarians should start buying emerging markets (EEM, DEM, VWO) and think about global energy (XLE) and material companies (XLB) and commodities (DBC)," says BAML's John Bilton, noting a "marked uptick" in concern about China (FXI, CAF) in his firm's latest fund manger survey. One-in-four now consider a Chinese hard landing as the biggest risk to their investment. Where respondents are not fearful? Japan (EWJ, DXJ). (previous) 4 Comments [Global & FX, Commodities]
Tuesday, May 14, 8:59 AM GMO's 7-year asset allocation model for U.S. stocks (VTI) is now predicting negative returns, says James Montier, presenting at the London Value Conference, and telling the audience GMO is now 50% in cash. Liking Europe (VGK, EZU, FEZ) a year ago, the big run has GMO less excited now. The best value could be emerging markets (EEM, DEM, VWO), but China's property bubble has GMO allocating less to EM than its models suggest. 14 Comments [Global & FX]
Friday, May 3, 7:04 AM Emerging Global Advisors files (I, II) to launch 12 new funds, including 6 bond funds - its first totally in-house fixed income strategies. Included in the equity offerings is the EM Dividend High Income ETF (possible competitors include: IDV, DEM), the EM Asia Consumer ETF, and the EM Equal Weight Sector ETF. Among the fixed income offerings are Investment Grade - short, intermediate, and long term ETFs (possible competitors include: EMB, LEMB, PCY). No ticker symbols or expense ratios are yet known, and it's possible not all 12 will make it to actual launch status. Comment!
Monday, April 29, 3:41 PM Trying to build on the success of its $4.5B Emerging Markets Equity Income Fund (DEM), WisdomTree (WETF) looks for more specific niches, filing to launch 3 new ETFs - the EM Consumer Growth Fund, the EM Low Volatility Fund, and the EM Dividend Growth Fund. No tickers or proposed expense ratios are yet available. 1 Comment [Financials]
Tuesday, April 16, 11:00 AM BAML's fund manager survey shows a slide in exuberance with just 49% of respondents expecting a stronger global economy in the next year - a 12 point drop from last month. Particularly noteworthy is the 30-point, 2-month decline in emerging market (EEM. DEM, VWO) confidence - at the lowest level in 2 years and with a small majority now underweight. 1 Comment
Wednesday, March 27, 12:28 PM Emerging markets have been big underperformers in 2013 and outflows from their ETFs (EEM, VWO) have picked up speed in recent days. Single country ETFs are beginning to see spillover, with EWZ and RSX notable for redemption activity of late. Every single one of the top 7 single-country components of the MSCI EM Index (EEM) is down YTD. Comment! [Global & FX]
Friday, March 22, 12:09 PM Western markets are mostly marking time alongside the events in Cyprus, but emerging market debt continues a downtrend begun some time ago with the EMB hitting an 8-month low today. It's likewise with equities - off more than 5% YTD, EEM, VWO, and DEM are getting smoked by the SPY. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
Friday, March 22, 10:17 AM WisdomTree Emerging Markets Equity Income Fund (DEM) announces quarterly distribution of $0.1299. 30-day SEC yield of 3.81% (as of 03/21/2013). For shareholders of record Mar. 26. Payable Mar. 28. Ex-div date Mar. 22. Comment! [Dividends]
Tuesday, March 19, 11:01 AM More on the BAML survey: Just 14% of respondents expect the Chinese economy to be stronger a year from now, representing "one of the sharpest falls in this reading in the survey's history." The thinking is behind a shift out of emerging equity markets (EEM. DEM, VWO) and into developed - notably the U.S. and Japan. It also coincides with a sharp correction in Chinese stocks (FXI, CAF) over the last month. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Saturday, March 2, 8:43 AM Along with the bull market are wealth managers continuing to ratchet up their exposure to equites at the expense of bonds and cash, according to Penta's latest survey which shows recommended stock allocations rising to 48% from 45% a year ago. Also of interest are the swings in foreign stock holdings - in favor in 2011, out in 2012, and popular again this year. Comment!
Tuesday, February 19, 9:49 PM All of the slide presentations from IU"s InsideETFs conference are now available. One of interest shows how eligibility requirements on certain dividend indexes will keep out stalwarts like MSFT, IBM, ORCL, INTC, CSCO, and AAPL for years to come even as the same stocks account for significant holdings of other indexes with the name dividend on them. 1 Comment
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
Monday, February 11, 9:17 AM "Why are you excluding the small cap space," asks Index Universe's Matt Hougan of the two largest emerging markets ETFs (EEM, VWO). His top pick for the space is the new iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG). It offers small cap exposure with expenses (0.18%) way-below its big-brother EEM, and even less than Vanguard's VWO. (earlier from the IU Conference) 3 Comments [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
Thursday, February 7, 2:53 PM WisdomTree's (WETF) dividend-weighted approach has its emerging-market dividend ETF (DEM) smoking its better-endowed competition (EEM, VWO). Up 7.7% annualized over 5 years (compared to about 2% for the other two), DEM's approach has it tilting to smaller value stocks with high yields. It's working for WisdomTree the stock as well, +46% YTD. 5 Comments [Global & FX]
Thursday, February 7, 8:13 AM More from Grantham: Courtesy of the donkey-beatings, all global assets are once again becoming overpriced, but not uniformly so. Pockets of value can be found in emerging markets (EEM) and Japan (DXJ), and the great global franchise companies. Much of everything else is "brutally overpriced," with U.S. stocks selling at an implied negative 7-year imputed return ... As for fixed income - fugetaboutit!." 5 Comments [Global & FX, U.S. Economy]
