Ahead of the UKs EU referendum vote, bought US S&P 500 protection when implied volatilities were low when the markets were calm.

As the pre-vote surveys showed a shift towards Leave, sold European (Euro Stoxx 50) put options to earn a high level of income. These puts had a low strike to avoid being triggered.

On the day of the vote, before polling started, underweight equities (-6.5% true growth relative to benchmark).

Risk assets start to rebound as the aftermath of Brexit presents buying opportunities. The immediate sentiment is that Brexit is a UK/EU isolated event.

high. Option strategies make sense. US is significantly more expensive than Europe, Japan, Emerging Markets The bull case for Emerging Markets continues to build. Debt risk lingers Global bonds at risk we believe inflation is returning; and we are seeing

capitulation buying Global credit still offers reasonable risk/return mix; including EM (both hard and

local). We are upgrading our cycle assessment (i.e., less negative). US Dollar bull market is mature; Australian dollar vulnerable respecting the

carry Australian equities vs global equities still in a trading range Global bear market in commodities is ending; bull market still a way off No strong directional view on Global Listed Infrastructure and GREITs We expect US rate hike and potential Aust rate cut in Q416.
