Performance canoe
O
Financials have
tmderperformed the overall
equity market over the last
month, due in part to concerns
over Greece. But we are still
positive on financials over a
3-12 months time horizon.
Valuations remain attractive,
with the MSCI AC World
Financials Index now trading
at around a 20% price-to-
earnings (PIE) discount to
the MSCI AC World Index
(according to Standard &
Poor's). This discount is likely
to narrow over time, if financial
firms' balance-sheet quality
continues to Improve.

Atter a difficult few months,
Indian equities started to pick
up steam in mid-June and
have continued to perform
well since then. Recent gains
may have been helped by the
redeployment of funds by
international investors from
a faltering Chinese equity
market. At a domestic level,
there is also evidence that
spending on infrastructure
is starting to Increase. Other
medium-term positives are
likely to be accommodative
monetary policy and
expectations of further reform.
German housing

imitstment horizon

Pinforrnantx, since initiation

Recently published estimates
by the Dallas Fed suggest
that German housing prices
continued to increase in
the first quarter after steady
gains in 2009-14. Continuing
support for prices is likely to
come from Eurozone monetary
policy, which probably
remains too expansionary
for the German economy.
Despite the sustained rise in
German housing prices, we
do not appear to be entering
into an unsustainable real-
estate bubble, with German
mortgage debt increasing only
modestly.
U.S. leisure and
entertainment

3 - 12 months
Performance since initiation
According to advance
estimates, U.S. restaurant and
bar sales were down 0.2%
month-on-month in June but
were tip 7.7% from a year
earlier. This compares with
a rise of 1.4% for retail sales
overall. Trends in U.S. airline
travel and hotels have been
less clear-cut. But as the labor
market continues to improve,
wage growth accelerates and
home and equity prices edge
higher, spending on leisure
and entertainment should pick
up further later this year.
High-conviction ideas may not be suitable for all investors. Investments come with risk. The value of an investment can tall as well
as rise and your capital may be at risk. You might not get back the amount originally invested at any point in time. Some investments
may not be suitable for all investors and investors should seek professional advice before investing. The examples above are shown
for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered to be an offer or solicitation, advice or recommendation. It is not possible
to invest directly in an index.
