Managers Commentary As of November/December 2009. Source: PineBridge Investments Now that the global recovery is firmly underway, it is worth looking at the differential growth momentum across the major economic areas and the growth prospects for next year. The recession was fairly synchronous around the world and, with few exceptions, most economies started down the road to recovery this summer. Once central banks successfully stabilized banking systems around the world, massive fiscal stimulus packages triggered a rebound in GDP growth. However, the euphoria about the resumption of growth is balanced by concerns about fiscal deficits and an overly expansionary monetary policy. Stock markets around the world reacted predictably to the improving outlook and the 2009 rally is extending right into year-end. Global equity markets added another 3% in November, with little difference between developed and emerging markets. Stunningly, the U.S. was the best performing developed region, even outperforming most of Asia. Faster growing economies, such as Australia and Japan, generated less impressive returns. In fact, Japan was the only major market posting a loss in November. Meanwhile, the rally in government bond markets continued. The yield on 10-year Treasuries fell to 3.20% and 3-month Treasury Bill yields briefly dropped to 0% during the month, before settling back at a paltry 5 basis points. By no means was the rally confined to the United States. Eurozone-bond yields remain below those in the U.S, while 10-year yields in Japan are once again approaching the lows of the recession. Most surprising, though, was the strong rally in Australian government bonds, despite, or maybe because of, the Reserve Bank of Australia's early anti-inflationary stance. Another facet of the broad rally in financial markets is the ongoing dollar weakness. The trade-weighted dollar index is down more than 15% from its March peak and is rapidly approaching the lows of last May. Simultaneously, commodity prices continue to trend higher. Gold prices surged more than 13% last month and have traded above $1,000 now for seven straight weeks. Another star performer this year is Copper, which is up almost 130% from the end of last year. The broadening recovery is providing solid macro support for the recent rebound in financial markets. The improvement in forecast estimates is still impressive. The OECD last month doubled its forecasts for 2010 global growth from a very cautious 0.9% to a much more constructive 1.9%. Our own forecasts had been far ahead of the consensus earlier in the year, but the consensus has now caught up with us. Equity market earnings revisions are also still improving. Hence, we maintain our very bullish equity market allocation, with a significant overweight in emerging markets. In our bond portfolios, we are overriding our more bearish medium-term outlook, expecting the current surge in Treasuries to carry into year-end.

Managers Commentary (Continued) Next year's investment strategy will depend on the actions of central bankers in general and the Federal Reserve in particular. We have been warning against the risk of a liquidity bubble for a few months now. Fundamental progress has been sufficient enough to support the rally in risk assets. However, looking at the breadth of the current rally, which includes stocks, bonds and gold, I remain concerned that investors will react nervously to the beginning of liquidity withdrawal and the normalization of interest rates. It seems a fair call to remain bullish on most asset classes into the end of the year. For 2010, I would start with a more cautious stance awaiting clarification on the timing of the Fed's exit strategy and the market reaction to it.
