Preliminary June 30th Single Ticker Strategist “Brexit” Performance Update July 1, 2016 Brexit Market Commentary Following the United Kingdom’s (“U.K.”) vote to leave the European Union (“EU”), market volatility increased materially as the referendum's outcome was a surprise to many market participants. In Rocaton’s and many others’ opinion, the vote to leave the EU has increased uncertainty and has not provided any resolutions as the U.K. government will now begin negotiations with the rest of the EU over the terms of the U.K.’s withdrawal. While global equity markets declined sharply immediately after the vote, many equity markets have since recovered some or all of their losses. For example, the S&P 500 was down 3.6% on the day following the vote, but for the week following the vote is now down only 0.6%. Similar results occurred for U.K. equities, which were down 8.6% for the day on June 24th, and are now down only 2.6% (in local currency terms) for the week following the vote. Non-U.S. developed equities broadly were down 7.1% for the day on June 24th and are now down 4.6% (in USD terms) over the same time period. Interest rates globally have remained low as the U.S. 10-year yield was recently trading at 1.47%, about 20 basis points lower than pre-Brexit levels. Similarly, U.K. 10-year interest rates are down 50 basis points since the vote while German 10-year yields are down nearly 20 basis points. The U.S. dollar remains significantly higher relative to the pound sterling which fell more than 10% following the U.K.’s decision to leave the EU. As of June 30th, the Pound is currently trading at or around 30-year lows relative to the U.S. dollar. Manager performance for the single ticker strategists for the day and week after the vote was generally in line with expectations given market volatility. Despite some modest negative returns, performance was generally much better than global equity markets. Some of the best performing strategies on June 24th, and for the week ended June 30th, were the managed futures strategies. While many strategies declined along with equity markets immediately following the vote, in many cases the strategies were able to provide downside protection. Not surprisingly, higher expected volatility strategies, on average, were down more than lower and moderate expected volatility strategies on June 24th. However, for the week ended June 30th, higher expected volatility strategies, on average, outperformed the other categories and were back in positive territory as a group. 1 Global Macro Data Global Macro Data as of 12/31/15 5/31/16 6/23/16 6/24/16 6/30/16 Pound/USD spot price $1.47 $1.46 $1.48 $1.36 $1.34 Euro/USD spot price $1.09 $1.11 $1.14 $1.11 $1.11 USD/Yen spot price ¥120.23 ¥110.91 ¥105.71 ¥102.17 ¥102.59 U.S. 10-Year Treasury Yield 2.27% 1.85% 1.74% 1.56% 1.47% Germany 10-Year Yield 0.63% 0.14% 0.09% -0.05% -0.14% Japan 10-Year Yield 0.26% -0.12% -0.14% -0.20% -0.24% VIX (S&P 500) 18.21 14.19 17.25 25.76 15.63 Percentage Change YTD through 5/31/16 YTD through 6/23/16 YTD through 6/24/16 YTD through 6/30/16 Pound/USD spot price -1.25% 0.46% -7.55% -9.30% Euro/USD spot price 2.48% 4.49% 2.32% 2.27% Yen/USD spot price -7.75% -12.08% -15.02% -14.67% U.S. 10-Year Treasury Yield -0.42% -0.52% -0.71% -0.80% Germany 10-Year Yield -0.49% -0.54% -0.68% -0.76% Japan 10-Year Yield -0.38% -0.41% -0.46% -0.50% VIX (S&P 500) -22.08% -5.27% 41.46% -14.17% Preliminary information; subject to change without notice.
