Market Action

January 6, 2021

Assiduous Readers will recall that in the MAPF December 2021 Performance Report I suggested that:

While one can only rarely point to a single mechanism explaining a change in relative prices and say, with any credibility whatsoever, that A caused B, I have to admit I’m more dubious than usual about this claim. I believe that the continued rally is due to continued interest rate anticipation, which is now (for some investors) considered to be on the way up rather than continuing the downward staggering of the past ten years; this in turn is derived from Central Bank ‘easy money’ policies and very loose government fiscal policies; which is considered to be on the verge of driving inflation upwards.

Who’s right? Well, we’ll know in ten years, at a time when half of the investing world will graciously explain at length how their uncanny ability to read global market forces allowed them to time the market and make enormous profits, while the other half will tell you the question is irrelevant because investing is about the future, not the past. My advice is, as always, to make asset allocation decisions based on the long-term characteristics of each asset class and how these characteristics interact with your long-term portfolio objectives.

So here’s some interest rate anticipation from George Athanassakos:

It’s undoubtedly a contrarian viewpoint for many investors, but based on underlying trends, it’s my belief that higher interest rates are on the way. COVID-19 has only stalled these long-term forces. When the pandemic ends we will see the trend of higher rates to begin to establish itself.
…
Demographic developments are pushing the real interest rate trend higher. Baby boomers have been retiring and have stopped saving; in fact, they are in their “decumulation” years, which reduces the supply of funds.
This happens in the face of increased demand for capital by corporations that need to embed innovation and new technologies into their production processes, as well as by governments that need to borrow to fund structural deficits.

To clear the demand-supply imbalance, the real interest rate trend is pushed up, not unlike what had happened in the late 1970s.

Incidents like this give preferred shares a bad name:

Last summer, 27 individuals from 12 families filed two separate multi-plaintiff court cases against Yujie (Jared) Liu, a financial adviser and portfolio manager with BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. The group is asking for $50-million in damages for losses they allege they suffered as a result of Mr. Liu’s negligence in managing their investment accounts.
…
Last year, the group of clients filed two lawsuits alleging that during 2017 and half of 2018, Mr. Liu recommended a new investment strategy that would provide “reasonable” investment returns that was “risk-free” to their principle. The groups’ statements of claim say many of them had low-risk investment objectives and chose Mr. Liu because he could speak Mandarin and they were not proficient in English.

The claims say that instead, investors were placed in a high-risk strategy that involved short-selling bonds – particularly Canadian government bonds – to purchase long positions in preferred shares, many of which had rates that were variable or that reset based on interest rate movement. Some clients were advised to begin trading on margin – investing with borrowed money – in order to purchase more preferred shares.

The value of some clients’ investments declined between 50 per cent and 80 per cent, with losses ranging from $600,000 to $16-million, the claims say.

December 30, 2020

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.05%, equivalent to 6.56% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates now yield 2.84%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) has narrowed slightly (and perhaps spuriously) to 370bp from the 375bp reported December 16.

December 23, 2020

I was fascinated to read about the Royal Ottawa Golf Club’s CEWS-derived operating surplus:

The Royal Ottawa Golf Club, one of the country’s most prominent private courses, has banked a $1-million surplus from its past season, thanks mostly to federal subsidies for workers’ wages during the COVID-19 pandemic.

CBC News has obtained the club’s audited financial statements, and a recording of its annual general meeting, in which its board told members about the club’s “very strong financial position” due to the Canada emergency wage subsidy (CEWS) windfall.

“We ended up with a rather substantial subsidy,” Doug McLarty, the club treasurer, told participants in the Dec. 5 online video meeting. “It was over a million dollars. And that ended up on the bottom line.”
…
“I can tell you that pretty well every club in Ontario that we are aware of, and in Quebec, applied for that subsidy. And many of them are in a similar situation to what we have enjoyed this year — they have an operating surplus that they weren’t anticipating.” [said McLarty]

It was interesting because not only did the effect go far beyond partial mitigation of coronavirus damage, but because I can’t figure out how they qualified. This puzzlement led to curiosity about investment management firms – we weren’t subject to lockdowns and fees are based on assets under management. So I used the CRA CEWS Registry to search for a few investment management companies that might have obtained some of this largesse … it turns out that quite a few of them were sucking government tit!

If anybody can tell me why these guys don’t deserve to be classed as welfare bums, let me know!
