  1. 2010 - a bumpy road ahead? Investment Presentation Jersey – February 2010 Speakers Tristan Hanson Jonathan Schiessl Craig Farley

  2. Climate change Tristan Hanson Crisis, Recovery…What Next? Investing in an Uncertain World May 2010

  3. A stronger than anticipated recovery IMF growth forecasts: 2010 12 10 Apr '09 forecast 8 Apr '10 forecast 6 % 4 2 0 -2 EU Japan USA Asian Brazil India China NICs Source: IMF

  4. Agenda • Three Issues: • Sovereign debt in developed countries • Is China’s growth sustainable? • US unemployment & consumer spending • Implications for asset allocation

  5. Why Greece? • Loss of credibility • Persistent budget deficits • Unsustainable debt dynamics • debt outstanding • size of budget deficit • demography

  10. Scepticism merited when price drives opinion Oct. 16 (Bloomberg) – “The dollar will extend its drop versus the euro over the next two to five years, falling as much as 20% to an all-time low under a widening budget deficit, Harvard University’s Professor Niall Ferguson said.” US dollar strength 1.25 1.30 1.35 €/$ 1.40 1.45 1.50 1.55 May-09 Aug-09 Nov-09 Feb-10 May-10 Source: Bloomberg

  11. Conclusion: “nothing to fear but fear itself?” • Europe’s Achilles heel: one currency, 16 finance ministers • EU/IMF deal should ringfence Greece into 2012 • Spain & Italy: too big to save = too big to fail? • Austerity packages are deflationary • Printing money can eliminate default risk in low inflation world (US, UK) • Behavioural Perspective: the legacy of the 2008 financial crisis is still with us…are we now preconditioned to fear the worst in any shock/contagion event?
