DESCRIPTION

LMG Emerge's CEO/CIO Erik L van Dijk delivered this keynote presentation at the Singularis Emerging and Frontier Markets Summit in Barcelona, Spain on Monday, May 27. It was well received by the audience of family offices, colleagues and institutional investors. Essential aspects of the presentation: investors need to do more in Emerging and Frontier Markets, but valuation levels are not such that they should rush and follow benchmarks. The main benchmarks do have some flaws. One should also pay above-averfage attention to small and micro caps, probably only via LOCAL managers or those with local presence. And LMG believes that it will be different for Frontier Markets stocks this time round, finally!

1. LMG Emerge Who we are

LMG Emerge

Solutions-driven implemented consultant active in the Benelux, MENA-Africa, and Australasia; currently staff of 8; additional ‘human resources’ via backbone partnerships

Areas of expertise:1. Asset Allocation / Portfolio Optimization2. Emerging and Frontier Markets3. Asset Manager Selection

‘Backbone partners’: Emirates NBD (GLOCAL EM & Islamic Finance); Invest AD (GLOCAL FM); Ed Rothschild AM (Dev Markets), Evestment Alliance and Camradata (Man Selection)

Asset Allocation approach incorporates approximately 100 countries• Innovative joint work with Nobel Prize Laureate dr Markowitz (FAJ Mar-Apr 2003), chosen by

dr Markowitz and a group of fellow Nobel Laureates as one of his best articles • Monte Carlo simulations by Prof M Kritzman (MIT) confirm added-value of the underlying

heuristic (MIT Working Paper 2007)

Advisory Assets under Management have amounted to more than Euro 40 billion over the period 2005-current

Since April 2013 advisor to a SIF Sicav in Luxemburg, based on our GLOCAL approach

We believe that:

• Real diversification is the most effective method to control portfolio volatility

• Asset allocation is responsible for the majority of investment portfolio returns and risk

• Real asset classes provide investors a risk premium vs. inflation and cash over time

• Markets are not efficient, and Emerging Markets are often very inefficient

• Emerging markets will be the growth engine of the global economy for next 50 years

• Local players will play a growing role in Emerging Markets asset management (GLOCAL)

2. Asset Allocation and Diversification

Gary Brinson et al.:

"The bulk of investment success or failure can be explained by asset allocation decisions"

2. Diversification –The Free Lunch

US Example. Interesting now that international correlations are creeping up to levels previously only seen nationally.

2. Diversification –Are Correlation Trends eating away our Free Lunch?

But what is going on? Even within countries there is a tendency for correlations to go up!

Page 8: Emerging and Frontier Markets Overview - May 2013 - Singularis, Barcelona

3. Emerging and Frontier Markets

Emerging and Frontier Markets will add more and more value to Asset Allocation / Portfolio Optimization:

• We believe that Emerging and Frontier Markets can add an increasing amount of value because of:– Performance– Diversification opportunities– Growing universe both within asset classes and outside the

‘prime asset class of the past’ (EM and FM equities): EM Debt (hard and soft currency), Private Equity, Hedge Funds, Real Estate, Infrastructure et cetera.

– New products (e.g. Islamic Finance)– Man-Machine: they are getting more important and skilled,

both at the financial professional and investor level (e.g. wealth funds)

Page 9: Emerging and Frontier Markets Overview - May 2013 - Singularis, Barcelona

3. Emerging and Frontier Markets (2)

The Increased Opportunity Set in Emerging and Frontier Markets will translate into a spectacular increase in the allocation of funds to these markets, not just in Asia or the BRIC countries but also in Africa:

– Excess growth vis-à-vis more mature economies will continue (see also next slide from our MENA-Africa partner Invest AD)

– Changes in the ‘balance-of-power’ between internationally-operating institutional and family office investors, will lead to changes in the existing ‘foreign bias’

– Relative improvements in legal and governance structures in EM and FM nations, in combination with a larger investment opportunity set and market liquidity will translate into a reduction in the risk gap vis-à-vis more developed markets

4. But What About Valuation Levels?

set of major risks and uncertainties’’

Gross Total Performance; MSCI World Countries - Apr 2013 Valuation Indicators

MSCI FM Index

Page 18: Emerging and Frontier Markets Overview - May 2013 - Singularis, Barcelona

4.3 Conclusions What can we say of Valuation Levels today?

DEV Markets had a great year in terms of returns, but skepticism concerning their valuation levels remains

EM Markets did well over the last 10 years, but the main MSCI indices did poorly during the last 5 years

Real momentum to be found in FM Markets, but they are of course also the most risky ones

LMG themes today:- Russia/Central Asia/Eastern Europe

- DEV Europe Periphery- Small & Mid-Cap Stocks in EM

- Frontier Markets (finally!)

Also: Do not expect miracles. It will be more a period of ‘Risk’-than ‘Return-dominance’

AND BE VERY CAREFULL OF STANDARD MV-BASED BENCHMARKS

Page 19: Emerging and Frontier Markets Overview - May 2013 - Singularis, Barcelona

5. What About Benchmarks?

Main indices are still based on Market Values…..

“But dozens of studies did already indicate that some kind of ‘fundamental’ indexing or even a (more) equal

weighting could already add value!’’

6. Other Asset Classes

Other asset classes are going to be more important as well, because:

In a ‘Globalizing’ world that will be dominated by ‘risk-related’ factors for some time to come, the quest for lower correlations and diversification makes new asset classes or

new countries participating within a certain asset class very important.

Example 1 – Emerging Markets Debt (especially local currency)

Example 2 – Frontier Markets Debt

Example 3 – Private Equity EM

Example 4 – Islamic Finance

Page 25: Emerging and Frontier Markets Overview - May 2013 - Singularis, Barcelona

7. Complicating FactorsComplicating factors in a Changing World are:

The Shale Oil and Gas RevolutionImpact on Prices?

Impact on Relative Strength of countries in Energy Sector?Chinese Energy Demand?

This all in an environment of increasing Energy Volatility

Changing Relative Strengths:Western Governments have no money or the countries

less growthFinancial institutions in West in trouble

Growing importance of institutional investors, but they suffer from liability issues and mortality risks

Increased role SWFs

Beware of the money flow back into Dev CountriesRearview Mirror Policies of Western Governments

Islamophobia and other Foreign Biases

8. ConclusionsShould we do more in Emerging and Frontier

Markets?

For the average attendee:YES

But don’t rushUse your brain

BRIC?Not really that exciting anymore, maybe with the

exception of India (lt)And/or

Small/MicroCap

Other EM/FMYes, especially some of the more populous countries

including some FMs

Don’t forget distressed, undervalued opportunities in Dev Markets plus those that fit the agenda of the

cash-rich EM/FMOpportunities in the Financial Sector and in Europe

Last but not least:Don’t underestimate the US, at least not yet!
