The single most important driver for ALL global asset prices is the aggressive
and unprecedented moves in global central bank balance sheets.

Since 2008 there has been quite a lot of divergence in central bank
aggressiveness.

The story for the last 2 years has been the BoJ’s commitment to catch up, and the ECB’s reluctance to stay
the course. This has played itself out aggressively in EURJPY and the relative outperformance of the Nikkei
vs EStoxx. This trend will likely continue throughout 2014.

As we look across developed markets inflation remains subdued, but Japanese inflation is finally starting to
look more “normal”. Who would have thought Japanese inflation would run ABOVE Italian, French and
German inflation in 2014!!!!

GDP growth has been accelerating at reasonable pace post crisis in the US, UK and Japan – QE
works!!! In Europe, balance sheet expansion has been less aggressive and hence it has only worked
for those economies that are in the strongest position within EMU – for example Germany. Sadly
the level of balance sheet expansion by the ECB has been wholly inadequate for the periphery.

Short term real interest rates provide the best indication of the stance of monetary policy. Ex-post real short
rates have moved sharply lower since the crisis, but they are on the rise except in Japan. Ex-ante real short
rates have a similar pattern. Overall real rates remain in “the highly accommodative zone” across most
developed markets. The sad exception to all this is the periphery of Europe – but it is getting better !

As long as real rates fall enough - policy becomes accommodative, inflation rises and unemployment falls…in other words QE
WORKS!!!! But if real rates are not pushed low enough, unemployment and disinflation problems remain. That was the
problem in Japan for 20 years and it’s the current problem in the periphery of Europe. Complicating the employment picture
however are changes in the participation rate. Central bankers can never really be sure if there is truly slack in the economy or
if there are structural and demographic issues in play.

But based on what we know about the US from the FOMC’s summary of economic projections (SEP),
FOMC sees A LOT of slack in the US economy – even at equilibrium at the end of 2016. How else could you

The FOMC looks like it will be taking some significant longer term inflation risks in order to unwind slack associated with a
falling participation rate. And the BoJ finally looks like it will apply QE in such a way as to keep risk free real rates low and
negative. But the Europeans are just flailing in the wind. The ECB got it right in the beginning of the crisis, but since the
summer of 2012 they have let the trade weighted Euro appreciate sharply. The ECB is making the same “relative” mistake the
Japanese made during their lost decades. That is why they have high real rates, a weak economy, a strong currency, strong
bond markets and weak equity markets! It’s a tragic mistake!

Looking ahead, there are surely long term developed market inflation risks associated with all of this
monetary expansion. And while breakeven inflation rates suggest these risks are minimal, Gold still prices
in some serious long term inflation dislocations. So far though the breakevens seem to be winning the
battle!

Near term, as developed market central banks push the printing press pedal to the metal, force risk
taking and generate increased real growth potential, EMG will become the weak link - remember
the last time US rates started to rise, a US recovery took and Japan went on a devaluation tear by
using a combination of expansionary fiscal and monetary policies.

Here are the winning and losing assets in the great reflation.
There Are Two Types of Assets
Non-Printable
• Equity Capital
• Real Estate
• Commodities
• Distressed Fixed-Income Assets
Printable
• Cash
• Low-Yielding Fixed Income Instruments
In a world where the developed market central banks drive risk-free real rates lower, and the portfolio balance channel forces risk
taking, two things can happen. The risk-taking generates innovation, technological advance, productivity gains, real returns on
capital, real growth and job creation; or, the risk taking generates no innovation, no technological advance, no productivity gains, no
real returns on capital, no real growth and no job creation. Folks who believe in the former – the lovers - should own equity capital,
real estate, and distressed assets. Folks who believe in the latter – the haters - should own commodities such as precious metals. No
one should own printable assets - anyone who does so will be in the “loser” camp.

Our favorite way to play the great reflation has evolved through time. In general we have always
recommended at a “long/long” strategy. For every 100m of risk assets (ie SPX), we would hedge with
100k/01 in 2s, duu’s, blues or chartreuse. For 2014, however we are fully risk-on. No more levered fixed
income hedges in the front-end. It’s time for just Spoos and Q’s!!!

Sadly, Japan relied on fiscal policy expansion instead of monetary policy
expansion to spur a recovery….that clearly did not work out very well.

The bottom line is that we have seen some amazing benefits from QE when it
is appropriately applied. However, like any pain medication, the benefits are
very much upfront and the costs are much more long term. What are some
of these long term costs:
1. Financial instability/bubbles
2. Losses on the balance sheet
3. Inability to extract reserves and control short rates on the exit
4. Unhinging of long term inflation expectations
5. Income and wealth distribution skews
All of these are serious issues for the long run, but the most worrisome one is
the income distribution skews. We are likely to see much more political
instability in the US over the long run as QE continues to widen these skews.
Let’s look at a few charts on the negative distributional consequences of US
QE.

The structure of the US mortgage market is the culprit behind these distributional asymmetries. A
fixed rate mortgage combined with a house price collapse is a toxic structure. The biggest problem
for the US has been the inability of those in the lower income quintiles to refinance. The Fed should
have thought more clearly about these distributional issues back in 2009!!
