ASSET ALLOCATION
COMMENTARY
A volatile start to the year. Equities continued to rally into overbought territory the first half of the month, making them
vulnerable to negative news that might catalyse a pull-back. Coronavirus acted as that catalyst, but possibly only briefly.
At 361 deaths and over 17,000 cases to date, the virus has metastasised exponentially faster than SARS did in 2003. If we
use SARS as a guide, we might expect Chinese GDP growth to fall to 3-4% from its current c.6%. Domestic Chinese sales
growth is likely to slow down or possibly decline, and additional holiday days following the normal end to Chinese New
Year celebrations will likely have a knock-on impact to the region and countries exporting to China (e.g. Europe).
Naturally, there are differences to note between SARS in 2003 and Coronavirus today. In 2003, China represented c.20%
of global growth versus c.33% today, and the make-up of that growth has shifted; from manufacturing and trade to
consumption – both domestic and international. Hubei accounts for 4.6% of China’s GDP and just 1.3% of China’s total
exports, versus Guangdong and Beijing, which were hit in 2003, which represented 15.2% and 37.4% of GDP and Exports
at the time. Policy response has been faster in 2020 than it was in 2003, although we understand from speaking to contacts
in the region that the actual numbers are underreported.
We note that the PBOC has already injected 1.2 trillion yuan via reverse repos on Monday, and we expect that policy
makers will continue to step in where necessary to avoid systemic fall-out from the virus. Most investors appear to be
viewing the recent volatility in the same manner: a survey by Citibank suggests that 50% of respondents view the current
sell-off as a buy-the-dip opportunity. We are holding off from doing so for the time being - the policy response, though
welcome, seems disproportionately large for the relatively small number of cases in a relatively small geography, and we
wonder whether the inevitable slowdown could become systemic (via the credit markets, principally).
The Fund returned 1.2% in January, driven by strong returns from EDP, L3 Harris, Microsoft and our 2027 US Treasury.
Drags on performance included our beta position in Asia ex Japan, Royal Dutch Shell, Chevron and BT. At the end of the
month the Fund is 5% cheaper than the market on a price to cash flow basis, and 30% cheaper on price to book, with a
45% higher dividend yield.
