U.S. ECONOMY: STILL MODESTLY POSITIVE• The U.S. economy continues to move ahead in “plow horse”

like fashion, even as Q2 GDP growth surprised at 3.9%.• Improvements in the U.S. labor market are significant, though

the September jobs report was below expectations.• Auto sales are the strongest since 2001, as consumer spending

remains on a positive trajectory.• The service sector economy has grown robustly in 2015, with

the ISM Non-Manufacturing Index hitting a record in July.

CHINA: A SOFT LANDING OR A FINANCIAL MELTDOWN?• Chinese economic data continued to disappoint to the

downside.• The Chinese domestic stock market crashed after peaking in

mid-June, sparking volatility across global markets in Q3.• A surprise devaluation of the Chinese Yuan weighed on U.S.

markets in August. • While China’s influence on global growth is quite significant,

U.S. exports to China account for just 0.5% of U.S. GDP.

GLOBAL ECONOMICS, continued

INFLATION: LOWER FOR LONGER • Energy oversupply and a strong U.S. Dollar have reduced

headline inflation in recent quarters.• Wage growth in the U.S. labor market has remained

subdued, further dampening inflationary pressures.• The U.S. Federal Reserve has delayed raising interest rates,

at least in part due to low inflation.• Bond yields have remained near record lows due to low

inflation and modest economic growth.

GLOBAL MONETARY POLICY: STILL IN THE HEADLINES• Janet Yellen and the Fed have chosen to delay raising short-

term interest rates due to global economic concerns.• Mario Draghi and the European Central Bank have launched

a QE program and may expand it due to unexpectedly low inflation in Europe.

• The Bank of Japan continues to aggressively stimulate its economy through monetary policy.

• The U.S. Dollar may continue to strengthen if monetarypolicy in the U.S. is less stimulative than abroad.

U.S. CPI and Core CPI Remain Low

Central Bank Decisions are Driving Short-Term Volatility

STOCKS: VOLATILITY RETURNED IN Q3• U.S. large cap stocks experienced their first 10+% correction

in four years.• Earnings growth in U.S. equities remained subdued, mostly

due to the energy sector. • U.S. equity valuations are now slightly below long-term

averages.• Emerging market valuations are now even more compelling.

BONDS: HIGH-QUALITY YIELDS PUSHED LOWER• High-grade bonds gained in Q3, reflecting their safe-haven

status when stocks tumble.• The yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury approached 2%,

down 29 basis points for the quarter.• Lower credit quality bonds struggled in Q3, as spreads

widened and investor confidence waned.• High yield bonds and floating rate corporate loans are trading

at attractive spreads given the recent selloff.

ASSET CLASS FUNDAMENTALS, continued

ALTERNATIVES DELIVERED MIXED RESULTS • Hedge funds helped to provide stability to portfolios in the

market selloff during August and September.• Commodities remained in a downward trend and remain

particularly sensitive to bad news from China.• Midstream Master Limited Partnerships experienced a sharp

drawdown in Q3, despite having little direct exposure to commodity prices. Valuations in MLPs are now extremely attractive.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO REBALANCE• Short-term volatility reminds us of our long-term and

disciplined approach to successful investing.• Fixed-income investments have generally become

overweighted during recent market volatility. • Portfolio rebalancing takes partial profits from asset classes

that have run up the most, and adds capital to areas that are depressed in price and valuations.

• Equity bull markets are typically ended by recessions. U.S. economic fundamentals point to a low likelihood of recession in the next six to nine months.

Volatility of Stocks, Bonds, and Hedge Funds

Volatility is measured by rolling three-year standard deviations of total returns.
