  30. Thinking in advance about what’s to come • Unwinding of many extremes • A few years of faster than expected growth from developed countries starting with the U.S. • An end to unconventional monetary policies • Inflation back on the scene • A normalising of interest rates • Reallocation back to equities • A phase of growth that favours the U.S. market over the Canadian RBC Dominion Securities | Thinking About What Comes Next

  31. Where are we headed? Markets will follow the economy and earnings higher No recession in sight Interest rates will normalise relative to inflation Inflation will gradually/eventually move higher Canadian dollar will weaken further RBC Dominion Securities | Thinking About What Comes Next

  32. How should a portfolio be positioned? Increase exposure to equities that will participate in growth Boost exposure to U.S. stocks Reduce/shorten duration of fixed income holdings Look for opportunities to move back up the fixed income quality curve RBC Dominion Securities | Thinking About What Comes Next

  33. How are Canadian investors positioned? Stocks – not offensive enough! Underexposed to equities Choosing stocks that have high yield / high payout ratios / comparatively little growth potential (ostensibly for safety??) Have very little exposure to equities that will participate in future economic growth lower yield / low payout ratio / higher growth Almost entirely Canadian RBC Dominion Securities | Thinking About What Comes Next

  34. How are Canadian investors positioned? Fixed Income – not defensive enough! Overexposed to fixed income Chasing yield has led most portfolios steadily down the quality curve Corporate bonds and preferreds are much more correlated to the stock market So if we unexpectedly went into recessionstocks would fall and so would a large portion of many fixed income portfolios RBC Dominion Securities | Thinking About What Comes Next

  35. Bottom line The worst of all worlds If the stock market goes up a typical equity portfolio won’t participate fully But if the economy and stock market go into decline most portfolios will suffer losses in the fixed income portion as well RBC Dominion Securities | Thinking About What Comes Next
