The Coming Decade Of Deleveraging

1. The Bubble In Credit

Post Crisis Recoveries... Temporary Blip, or permanently altered trajectory?

The current recovery in context...Fine in some respects, but something seems broken

A Crisis of Demand? Not just a matter of lowering rates (the balance sheet-recession)

More Borrowing = More Growth? previous growth was founded upon borrowing - was it real?

How Much Have We Borrowed? More debt in more sectors in more countries than ever before

Wealth Effects - spending only possible because of high net worth

Leading To The Growth Triangle - But Don't Look Down!!!

Love Triangle or Pyramid Scheme?

2. Ways Of Deleveraging

Balancing Government's Books - Austerity works if offset by private leveraging

Assessing The Broader Economy...but the private sector is in savings mode too!

Whole Economy Deleveraging - much harder - unless you debase the currrency

The Effect On GDP - without FX, adjustment is extremely painful!

Bring On The Central Banks - But don't expect them to work miracles

3. Investment Implications

Saved, or Doomed? It's all a question of confidence!

Growth - Lower, but above all, more volatile!!

Expectations Management - Optimism is becoming harder to sustain

Real Estate - Deleveraging + Older Populations = Downward Spiral

Equities - The end of the equity culture?

Banks and Bankruptcies - Be wary of multiples on leveraged instruments

Fixed Income - low yields should eventually make for tight spreads...

Credit -...but only once the bankruptcies are out of the way

Structured Credit - Better the devil you know (EFSF anyone?)
