  8. Global Market Review and Economic Outlook

  9. Global Market Review • Second Quarter 2012 • A deepening European debt crisis, worldwide economic softening and domestic fiscal uncertainty weighed on investors. • While central banks around the globe are attempting to combat slowing economies, markets are experiencing diminishing marginal benefits from their efforts. • Equity markets gave back some of their earlier gains as the U.S. outperformed global markets. • Investors became defensive by buying high quality stocks with high dividend payments. • Fixed-income markets saw a flight to safe haven sovereign bonds (U.S. Treasuries, German Bunds, U.K. Gilts) and drove yields lower. • However, riskier bonds withstood investor macro concerns fairly well. • The U.S. dollar strengthened against most major currencies.

  10. Equity Market Review: Second Quarter 2012 • Equity returns were negative across all broad asset classes and geographies, however remain positive year to date. • Stocks sold off in May amid concerns over: • Greek elections and the European debt crisis • The declining impact of monetary and fiscal stimulus • The S&P 500 experienced its worst May since 2010. It had its best June since 1999. • Investors stayed invested but rotated sharply to high quality and high dividend yielding stocks. • Top 3 sectors (S&P 500 Index) • Telecoms (14%) • Utilities (7%) • Consumer Staples (3%) • Bottom 3 sectors (S&P 500 Index) • Financials (-7%) • Technology (-7%) • Energy (-6%) Sources: FactSet, Bloomberg

  11. Fixed-Income Market Review • Increasing political tensions in the eurozone created investor doubts about the likelihood of meaningful agreement on the debt crisis. • A flight to safety into the sovereign bond market led to yields lower than those seen during the 2008 financial panic in some perceived safe havens. • In the U.S., the yield curve flattened and spreads generally widened on signs of slowing economic growth. • U.S. Treasuries (+2.8%) outpaced most sectors of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index. • U.S. corporate credit remain healthy and continues to post solid results (+2.5%). • High Yield and Emerging Market Debt continued to benefit from favorable fundamentals. 6M 2Y 5Y 10Y 30Y Historic Yield Levels Reached in Second Quarter Sources: Bloomberg, BoA Merrill Lynch

  12. Economic Outlook • U.S. gross domestic product should continue modest expansion (2% to 3% range) over next two years absent a disorderly break up of the Euro or the U.S. tipping over the “fiscal cliff.” • The risk of a severe European shock is real. That noted, we expect Europe to muddle through. • We expect Congress to postpone the effect of the automatic spending cuts and tax increases scheduled to go into effect in January 2013. • Inflation should remain in the 2% to 3% range. • Absent shocks, underlying U.S. economic resiliency and aggressively easy monetary policy should forestall recession risks. • After recent slowing emerging markets may begin to reaccelerate due to aggressive monetary actions coupled with cheaper currencies. Sources: DataStream

  13. The European Crisis ContinuesDouble-Dip for Some, Depression for Others • Europe is truly in crisis—most eurozone countries are on the brink of, or still in, recession. • Greek and Spanish banks have come under intense pressure. • The European Central Bank and German Bundesbank are now heavily exposed to periphery risk.

  14. Periphery Government Debt Still PressuredSpreads Over German Debt Remain Elevated 10-Year Benchmark Bond Yields • Recessionary conditions are making it difficult to get budget deficits under control. • Greece and Portugal may eventually exit the eurozone, and Ireland may need additional support. • Spain and Italy are far greater tests of commitment to the single currency.

  15. A Synchronized Slow PatchEurozone Crisis Undermining Global Economy • The rest of the world is not immune to Europe’s struggles. • Emerging markets have been negatively impacted; most are now easing economic policies. • Tax hikes and spending cuts set to take effect in January 2013 could push the U.S. into recession. • U.S. policymakers remain gridlocked, and campaign season is kicking into high gear. • The resulting uncertainty could spur investor pessimism and market volatility. Sources: DataStream (U.S. ISM PMI), Bloomberg (JP Morgan Global PMI Index)

  16. U.S. Equities: Profit Margins have Peaked, but the Market Likely has not • Stock market bears point to the fact that corporate profit margins have peaked in the U.S. • Historically, margins have tended to peak two to three years before the economy and stock market. • Barring a severe shock, equities may likely trend higher well into 2013 if not beyond.

  17. An Extraordinary Flight to Safety Safe Haven Yields at Record Historic Lows • There was an extraordinary flight to perceived safe-haven investments in the second quarter. • Key government debt issues have reached record multi-decade and even multi-century lows. • If there is a bull market anywhere, it is in fear. • If there is a market bubble, it is in the sovereign debt of safe haven countries. Source: Bloomberg

  18. No Capitulation Despite Sell-OffInvestors Aren’t Bearish Enough for us to Become Bullish • The move into safe haven government debt looks extreme and stocks are attractively valued. • Stocks are not the bargain they were in late 2011 though; investors are fearful but not panicky. • We will become more bullish if pessimism deepens and selling pressure intensifies a bit.

  19. Emerging Markets Hit Hard Cyclical Bear Market in Emerging Market Equities • The European crisis has hit emerging markets through trade and trade finance channels. • Policymakers tightened in response to inflation pressures through 2011. • Emerging market investors have had to grapple with slowing growth and currency declines. • Policy easing is now in effect for many countries and weaker currencies should be supportive of growth. Stocks Bonds

  20. Emerging Markets Look InterestingWeaker Currencies, Easier Policies and Attractive Valuations • Valuations look attractive, especially against a backdrop of weaker currencies and policy easing. • Policy measures may start to bear fruit in the second half of 2012 or early 2013. • We are keeping a close eye on EM asset classes as they could benefit most from a global recovery.

  21. The OutlookWaiting for a Catalyst • The Good News • The U.S. economy continues to grow, although the pace is slow. • Equities appear reasonably priced, but changes in investor sentiment will continue to be an important driver of stock prices. • Monetary policy remains expansionary in most countries, and policymakers have now moved into easing mode in many emerging markets. • Inflation fears have eased globally. Energy prices are down sharply, adding to disposable incomes. • Emerging markets valuations and currencies have fallen dramatically. • The Bad News • Europe’s recession is likely to be deeper for longer. • The debt crisis in Europe has now engulfed Italy and Spain, which are much larger economies and debt issuers. • The U.S. election could lead to deeper partisan divisions, making it more difficult to reach needed fiscal compromises at year end. • China and other key emerging markets have hit notable soft patches. China’s leadership change has turned messy. • Tensions over Iran’s nuclear capabilities have not disappeared.

The CDX IG 12 is a benchmark high-grade derivatives index, which measures the cost of insuring a basket of U.S. investment-grade corporate debt against defaults. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index(VIX) tracks the expected volatility in the S&P 500 over the next 30 days. A higher number indicates greater volatility. Common usage: The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX), a barometer of market volatility. The Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index (RESI) is used to measure the U.S. real estate market and includes both real estate investment trusts (REITs) and real estate operating companies (REOCs). It is weighted by float-adjusted market capitalization. The JP Morgan Emerging Market Bond Index is a total return, unmanaged trade-weighted index for U.S. dollar-denominated emerging-market bonds, including sovereign debt, quasi-sovereign debt, Brady bonds, loans and Eurobonds.

  36. SEI Representative Strategy Review Performance Review • Stability-focused strategies protected well due to their focus on investment-grade bonds. Measured exposure to managed-volatility equities was a benefit. • Market-focused strategies benefited from their allocations to fixed income in a risk-averse environment. Performance shown is for selected Private Client strategies, net of fees. Performance assumes investment at the beginning of the period indicated and reflects all recommended reallocations and changes among the funds, including changes in investment managers and funds included in the model. Information on allocation among funds, reallocations and model changes is available upon request. Model performance shown is not meant to represent any individual client account. Model performance shown is net of fees charged by SEI, but does not reflect any fee your advisor may charge. Performance information as shown is net of all mutual fund fees and expenses, but does not include any charges or fees which may or may not be imposed by an investor’s financial advisor which will reduce performance returns. For example, on an account charged 1% by a financial advisor with a stated annual return (net of mutual fund fees) of 10%, the net total return before taxes would be reduced from 10% to 9%. A ten year investment of $100,000 at 10% would grow to $259,400, and at 9%, to $236,700 before taxes.  Sources: SEI, DataMart Past Performance is No Guarantee of Future Performance.
