MLC Investment Insights & Viewpoints September 2010 – The post- GFC investment environment. What can history tell us? February 2011 – An Investment Roadmap. Key investment themes for 2011 December 2010 – The rise and rise of the Australian dollar – stretching the friendship

5 Proverb: I am an optimist, sure …….. But I am an optimist that carries an umbrella !

6 Key Investment Themes for 2011 Some of the key themes that may impact over the coming year 1.The “muddle through” global recovery continues... 2.China - a slowing juggernaut ? 3.Those sovereign debt blues keep rolling along Long live the asset bubble ! – the Year of the Rabbit Equity ? 6.Australia – a two or three speed economy ?

7 Source: Datastream Asia booming – US economy gradually recovering post GFC 1. The “muddle through” global recovery … Two tiered

8 US housing market still a problem Source: Financial Times One in 9 housing mortgages in the US not being serviced – prices still falling

9 Negative equity remains major overhang

10 Recent bumper stickers in the US

11 Geopolitical Tensions

12 Middle East – Fight for Democracy or Jobs? A dangerous combination of high unemployment and young demographics

13 2. China – a slowing juggernaut? Source: Datastream

14 Source: Datastream Now “tapping the brakes” to slow things

15 3. Those sovereign debt blues keep rolling along... Source: IMF What debt ? “Zone of Worry”

16 Probability of default at some stage is high European peripheral government & US municipal debt the main concern

17 4. Long live the asset bubble ! Source: Datastream 1970’s commodity boom GFC China super- cycle Bubble ? Are commodities experiencing a bubble ?

18 Australian dollar reflects terms of trade boost Source: Datastream Could this also be a bubble? GFC

19 Asian housing prices booming – a bubble? Residential prices up % since 2008 on easy credit conditions

20 An Australian housing price bubble? Source: Marc Faber “gloomboomdoom.com” Australia has one of the most expensive housing markets globally

21 End of QE2 could produce market volatility

– the Year of the Rabbit Equity? Bonds are more expensive now – shares are relatively attractive Source: Datastream ?

23 US corporate profits rebounding strongly Source: Datastream Weaker US$, improving profit margins and reduced write-downs all helping

24 Australian earnings more muted recovery Negative impact of rising AUD & interest rates and tight labour market Source: Datastream

25 6. Australia- catching the “Dutch Disease”? Mining booming but a high AUD hurts retail, tourism, manufacturing

26 Manufacturing & Retailing big employers Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics

27 Impact of floods / storms Near term H1 Reduce growth & raise inflation Disrupt mining & agricultural exports Impact negatively on affected farmers, businesses and households Interest rates on hold Longer term H2 onwards Major reconstruction effort - concentrated in certain regions Qld a major beneciary Boost economic growth by up to 1-1.5% but not spread evenly Support construction industry – shortage of skilled workers? Industry recovery? Agriculture & tourism – wait and see Tax levy & other spending cuts to pay the bill Interest rates to rise further

28 Loan rates are starting to bite – heading up Source: RBA, Datastream Expect another 1-2 moves by the RBA later in 2011

29 Housing affordability is poor now Potentially dangerous for households with significant mortgage debt Source: RBA

Budget – where is the vision?  Deficit > $49.4 bn in 2011 FY, $22.6 bn in 2012 FY, surplus $3.5 bn in 2013 FY  Growth > 2.25% in 2011 FY & 4% in 2012 FY  Inflation > 3.25% in 2011 FY, 2.75% in 2012  Sources of Growth  booming mining investment and disaster reconstruction  moderate consumption and weak residential construction  Positives > Spending on Labour force training and migration to boost workforce  Concerns > Very slow recovery in budget deficit despite the mining boom > Many of the measures not impacting for 2-3 years > No sovereign wealth fund to bank the benefits of the mining boom > No tax reform

31 Dividends make up the majority of returns Source: Datastream 9.9% pa 4.5% pa

32 Dividends offer stable returns Dividends relatively more important in a “muddle through” environment Source: Datastream - All Ordinaries Accumulation Index

33 What can you do about it?  Equities preferred - valuations fair (not cheap) with reasonable earnings growth  Dividends matter - bigger share of total equity returns vs capital gains - more reliable than capital gains and, - more tax effective than term deposits  Residential Property - beware because of poor affordability and rising interest rates  Diversification - crucial in a highly volatile, uncertain environment  globalisation of portfolios - reduces risk !  alternative asset classes - for diversification or illiquidity premia  Dollar cost averaging - systematically buying (not selling) cheap assets  Active management - active asset allocation & stock selection  important for risk management not just return enhancement  Risk control - don’t take any more portfolio risk than you really need to ! Get good advice from a financial planner !
