Global Asset Allocation, Politics & Governance, Ecstrat

Global Asset Allocation, Politics & Governance

Ecstrat

Ecstrat is a consultancy advising on asset allocation between global equity markets, with a focus on the intersection of governments, geopolitics, governance and markets.
 
Over the past few years and more especially since the Great Financial Crisis (GFC), investors have become more focused on short-term market movements and real-time returns and have consequently neglected the analysis of the underlying structural themes that underpin longer term performance.
​
More specifically we believe that the evolution of governance-based relationships between investors, controlling shareholders, labour and the state is one of the primary determinants of both relative and absolute performance between individual equity markets.
 
We will endeavour to provide investors with some of the context surrounding governance-related issues which encompass many different disciplines including history, economics and political science, as well as the financial metrics which are the most obvious manifestation of the structural characteristics of each market.
 
We will pay particular attention to the shifts and potential inflection points for governance in individual markets as these are often the best lead indicators for both economic and market performance.

Cross Asset Strategy

On a tactical level, both onshore and offshore listed Chinese equities are starting to appear somewhat oversold and would rally sharply if the US offered any meaningful concessions resulting in some sort of agreement in either one or both of the disputes around trade and technology. Taking a more strategic perspective however, the inexorable shift towards a more Autarkic Governance Regime implies severe costs for both the Chinese economy and equity market(s).
