Fidelity Director of Global Macro Jurrien Timmer is back on the show today to share his latest market thesis, and the macro themes moving markets this week. Jurrien emphasizes that recent economic indicators, including the CPI and jobs reports, suggest that the Federal Reserve may soon begin cutting interest rates, possibly starting as early as September. He explains how this could potentially benefit both bond yields and equities. He points out that inflation has moderated, giving the Fed room to ease monetary policy. Jurrien discusses broader market implications, such as the potential for a broadening market rally, and the impact of global political outcomes on market sentiment, particularly in relation to fiscal policies and regulatory environments affecting different asset classes like bitcoin and traditional equities. The conversation also touches on the performance of the banking sector, the global implications of Fed policies, concerns around deflationary risks, and an analysis of recent corporate earnings reports. Take a listen. Recorded on July 15, 2024.

Institutional Portfolio Manager Abhijeet Singh joins the show today to take us through the current landscape of emerging markets around the world, and to discuss the investment themes shaping Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund. Abhijeet points out that a potential U.S. rate cut could benefit emerging markets by alleviating pressures from a strong dollar and high U.S. rates, which have historically posed challenges. He highlights specific regions like Brazil and Mexico, where maintaining higher interest rates has helped stabilize currencies despite well-controlled inflation. He contrasts the investment appeal of countries like China, with attractive valuations amid economic stabilization efforts, against India, where high valuations have tempered investment enthusiasm. In terms of sectors, he favors materials and consumer sectors but advises caution in tech due to inflated valuations. He highlights the benefits of a balanced growth at a reasonable price strategy, which positions the Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund to capitalize on diverse opportunities while managing risk and global uncertainties.

In todayâs episode, we are once again joined by Director of Quantitative Strategy, Denise Chisholm, to discuss sector trends, market movements, and crucial topics in the investing industry. With the recent CPI number out, Denise believes a rate cut is likely. The latest data shows shelter costs aligning with 2021âs level, signaling that inflation pressures are easing. Denise then cautions that the rapid normalization occurring may feel like a recession given its contrast with the past decades conditions. She emphasizes that investors need to stay open-minded and consider diverse factors influencing the economy beyond recent historical norms. She notes that small caps have begun broadening out after a lagging effect over the past six months. Denise stresses the importance of considering earnings growth, as it drives the market. She says improving risk-reward profiles for small caps is evident if earnings growth accelerates and the Fed cuts rates. Denise closes off by giving her thoughts on Canadaâs labour demand, diving into sectors sensitive to interest rates, and identifies attractive opportunities within small-cap stocks amid potential market shifts.

Today, we are joined by Portfolio Manager, Morgen Peck, to discuss value investing, opportunities in the international markets, and how the Global Intrinsic Value team co-manages their fund. Morgen begins by describing the Global Intrinsic Value fund as a co-managed fund that benefits from multiple portfolio managers specializing in risk evaluation and idea generation. It is a value fund with a quality tilt, offering strong downside protection during market drawdowns while keeping pace during upswings through quality stock picking. She then notes that there are numerous opportunities in the smaller and mid-cap segments. Looking internationally, Japan is also highlighted as a key area, as Morgen talks about its currently undervalued and overlooked public companies. Morgen also uncovers other hidden gems such as the driving consumer and energy sectors, the geopolitical landscape, and AI development. She closes off by going in depth with the fundâs contingency plans. While the fund doesnât maintain a strong macro forward view, Morgen emphasizes a good margin of safety and downside capture, offering resilience in potential recessions. She says with her team, she is actively trying to provide results correlated with the funds unique nature.

Capital gains taxes are going up for some Canadians, but thereâs a lot of confusion among investors and cottage owners about what it all means. Ottawa says itâs only targeting the 0.13% but could it affect a wider segment of the population? What do the changes really mean and could it impact you and your summer oasis? Weâre talking cottages and capital gains today, featuring host Bryan Borzykowski breaking down these changes, and speaking with a number of experts including Fidelityâs Michelle Munro, Director Tax and Retirement Research, and Phil Soper, CEO of Royal LePage. Todayâs interview was initially presented as a webcast in our Upside+ series, which you can watch on Fidelity Canadaâs LinkedIn page or YouTube channel.

Equities ended higher last week as fresh data showed weakness in the labor market, strengthening the case for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates in September. With the mega growers continuing their highs, it continues to be a tale of two markets, making today's guest rethink the bullish broadening thesis. Joining the show today to share his latest market thesis and the macro themes moving markets this week is Fidelity Director of Global Macro Jurrien Timmer. Jurrien points out the dual impact of favorable inflation data and slower job growth, setting the stage for potential Fed action. He also notes the market's relatively calm reaction to recent political events, presenting historical data that suggests presidential elections have limited long-term impact on market returns. Jurrien speaks to the bifurcated nature of the current bull market, where a few mega growers dominate while broader market breadth remains narrow, posing challenges for stock selection as the gap between top-performing stocks and the rest of the market continues to widen.

David provides insights for the growing interests in alternative investments, and the strategies to follow to help smooth out volatility in the current market. David begins by highlighting why alternatives are increasingly seen as a way to manage volatility.

However, he also notes that there are companies facing existential risks from AI, and goes into the impacts it has on user metrics and revenue generation. He then talks about other relevant topics such as how the current rates environment is impacting his thesis, the performance of alpha in his short portfolio, and other risks involved in his long and short strategies.

In this episode, Investment Director Tom Stevenson joins us to discuss the impacts of the recent UK election results on the markets. Tom addresses the potential implications of the Labour party government on investing in the UK providing insights into how stock markets typically respond to elections. Tom highlights the positive response to the shift in power, looking at the equity market, fixed income/bond markets, and the pound, all of which have risen. Discussing trade and foreign direct investment, Tom explains that the new Labour government is likely to positively impact sectors like home building, while potentially imposing more taxes on oil and gas sectors. One of the Labourâs key strategies to promote growth is to rebuild relationships with the EU, which could enhance trade relations outside of Britain. Tom does note how the UK market is heavily influenced by global factors. Tom concludes that the election results is viewed positively for the domestic economy, making the UK market an attractive option for investors.

Today, weâre joined by Fidelity Portfolio Managers Sri Tella and Lee Ormiston to discuss the latest economic developments, and what the results mean for investors. Our focus today is on the Bank of Canadaâs recent interest rate cut, inflation, and evolving fixed income strategies. Lee shares his thoughts on the higher-than-expected CPI, highlighting that Canadian inflation has a momentum that is rising faster than global trends. Meanwhile, Sri talks about the timing and pace of these cuts, advocating for a gradual approach to these rate reductions. Both then discuss the yield curve, and how they anticipate it to steepen in the short-term. Lee mentions that long term rates are currently fair, and he sees opportunities in the front end of the yield curve. Sri then addresses the current economic outlook, and future investment implications. He suggests that regardless of the current recession risk, there is a low probability for recession given the strong labour market and population growth. Lastly, the two discuss their fixed income positioning, emphasizing a focus on ten-year notes, and a cautious approach due to long-end yield curve inversion. They close off by stressing the importance of earning yield with controlled risk, while simultaneously adapting to economic and market changes.

In this episode, we check in with Director of Quantitative Market Strategy Denise Chisholm for her bi-weekly sector watch and what recent data is telling us about the broader economy. Denise believes the markets have had a muted reaction to recent jobless claims cementing her theory that the market is experiencing a very soft-hard landing. But is this softening too quick? Hiring continues in the labour market, but the question is will this last? Denise believes month-by-month numbers are not predictive of whatâs happening in the broader market. To really understand, she says you need to zoom out and focus on the year-on-year changes. The only true predictive factor to her is profits and earnings. And at this moment, it seems like companies have enough capital to keep people employed and on the payroll. She touches on how inflation dynamics are playing out very differently in terms of profits. Why are we having this bull market? How is this affecting the consumer sector? Denise says the deceleration in the market has been good for the stock market, but not good for purchasing power on the consumer. Individuals are finding it hard to dig out of rent increases, food inflation, and housing issues. She advises investors to be on the defense and offence. She sees strength in utilities, healthcare and consumer staples. And if you want to look into the offence, financials, real estate and industrials could be something to consider.

Today on the show special guest Jack Mintz joins us. Jack is an economist and Presidentâs Fellow at the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary. He discusses Canadaâs economy, and challenges Canadians face in this current market environment plus he highlights the recent changes to capital gains taxes. Jack shares his thoughts on the capital gain inclusion rate, touching on both the individual and corporate levels. He points out the capital gains inclusion rate is increasing from one half to two thirds. For individuals, there is a threshold of $250,000 where the 50% inclusion rate still applies. Most individuals won't be significantly impacted by this change, he says, but other taxpayers like corporations and trusts are affected from the first dollar. These new rules will come into effect on June 25th and the impact of these changes on the market is uncertain and will be observed over time. Jack also touches on the inflation story and how he does not see inflation dropping again any time soon, and that itâs going to take some time to get back to 2%. In terms of international investments, Jack believes that the current environment is a deterrent for foreign companies considering acquiring Canadian firms. He points out that Canada is struggling to attract investments, and how the countryâs real per capita GDP has been declining for the last six quarters. Jack also addresses concerns about population growth, productivity output, and M&A synergy.

In todayâs episode, we are joined by portfolio manager Aneta Wynimko as she gives us an update on global consumer trends and where she is seeing opportunities in the consumer space. Aneta says the beauty space in Europe has grown a lot since the pandemic especially in the fragrance area. She also notes the fragrance niche is hitting the younger female generation as opposed to the older female age group. She comments how the European economy is much more different and slower than the US economy sparking tourism influx into Europe. She notes prices haven't gone up that much in Europe making things much more affordable which is why youâre seeing a massive migration of tourists coming on holiday to European countries. She also notes higher ticket discretionary items are suffering as she says people are hesitant to invest in big ticket items for fear of going into debt. Aneta says anything to do with home improvement is very sluggish. Auto sales like the EV sales trend has slowed down quite a bit. Aneta also comments on the demand of spirits, chocolates and weight loss drugs and the effects they have on the consumer space.

Today we speak to co-managers of Fidelity Global Small Caps Opportunity fund Connor Gordon and Chris Maludzinski as they give an update on the fund, talk about their investing strategy, and where they are finding hidden gems in North America and globally. Chris points out the fund is 60 percent US-focused, but the other 40 percent is looking more attractive as valuations come down. Chris says being able to harness Fidelityâs global resources, visit management and go to trade shows is helping the team find attractive risk-reward opportunities. Connor adds that with global allocation they donât take a top-down view and see it as an asset class, but rather an opportunity set. For example, mining equipment includes a lot of large caps in the US, but outside of the US, they are finding what they call âhidden global champions.â Chris adds that they believe volatility creates dislocation, and dislocation creates mispricing. They are putting the work in now so that they have a list of companies with price targets that they want to execute when the time comes. They go deeper into their selection of companies. Chris says they try to find dislocations, mispricings, and high-quality companies - which for them means companies that can grow earnings above market rates of return and have multiple arbitrage. Connor adds they look for situations where a quality company is mispriced because then we can have a differentiated view. Chris and Connor also discuss how AI fits in this mispricing story, how value and growth are interconnected, and how small caps are faring in this current high interest environment.

With the Federal Reserveâs recent decision to hold rates amid cooling inflation, what does this mean for markets and the overall health of the ecomony in the US and in Canada? We sit down with portfolio manager and Fidelity Canadaâs Chief Investment Officer, Andrew Marchese, to get his latest insights on the market landscape plus what potential opportunities there are for institutional investors. Andrew touches on this latest divergence in the market. The Fed has held rates and the Bank of Canada is relaxing. Andrew says heâs not surprised the path that interest rate policy is going at the moment. He says itâs important to evaluate profit and cash flow streams of companies into 2025. In terms of equity allocation, Andrew says weâre having an idiosyncratic year around stock selection. Heâs always been pro-US in companies to invest in and he says itâs important to think long-term horizon. He adds heâs also paying close attention to utilities and commodities sectors.
