This week we take a bit of a longer look at how the crisis is affecting markets. We examine three fixed income markets and what they say about market liquidity and investors' expectations.
Value
March 14, 2020
Undoubtedly, many systematic approaches to value investing have suffered recently. However, we find the popular suggestion that value investing is dead to be premature. We find expectations of fundamental information have been and continue to be an important driver of security returns.
Macro Wrap-Up
March 13, 2020
This week we look at why some markets, which are normally more long-term in their outlook, are reacting so much to short-term news.
Fixed Income
March 4, 2020
We extend the analysis of systematic investment approaches to emerging market (EM) fixed income. We find that systematic exposures linked to carry, defensive, momentum and valuation themes are well compensated and lowly correlated in EM markets, and that a systematic approach to EM debt may be a powerful diversifier.
Tax Aware
March 2, 2020
For a taxable investor with a highly appreciated equity portfolio, replacing the portfolio manager is likely to trigger substantial tax liabilities. We find that a tax-aware relaxed-constraint post-transition strategy significantly outperforms a traditional tax-agnostic long-only strategy in its ability to preserve and grow the investors after-tax wealth over the long term.

For this Valentine’s Day we give you more of what you love: a look at what the Fed might do in an election year. Will the Cupids of monetary policy shoot any arrows, or will they leave Fed watchers brokenhearted?

In the 1980s, the Palladium was one of the hottest clubs in New York. Now it is a college dormitory. But don’t despair, the metal palladium is now the hottest commodity in the world, and its rise is instructive for investors who are interested in how commodities work and why small markets can make big moves. So, take a few minutes away from reports on the coronavirus to read about catalytic converters and a lustrous silvery metal.
Alternative Thinking
January 29, 2020
We update our estimates of medium-term (5- to 10-year) expected returns for major asset classes, and introduce a method for quantifying the expected return on cash.

This week's Wrap-Up examines monetary policy in Sweden. It may not win the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, but it will explain why the Riksbank is becoming arguably the most important central bank in the world for investors to follow.
