Is Global Liquidity Already Threated By America’s Upcoming Debt Ceiling?

By Michael J. Howell

  • Latest weekly Global Liquidity data reveal a sharp hiccup caused by tax payments in the US and repo timing issues in China  
  • This does not foretell of any future serious disruption to our expectations for easier liquidity conditions later this year and next  
  • The jump in America’s TGA at the Fed signals weak tax revenues and warns that the debt-ceiling may be hit sooner, possibly by June/ July

Optimizing Portfolio Performance and Mitigating Risk with Economic Scenario Generators

By Albert Maass

  • Economic Scenario Generators (ESGs) are computational tools that generate plausible future economic scenarios, aiding risk management, asset valuation, and investment decision-making.
  • ESGs differ from Monte Carlo simulations in focus, inputs, complexity, and output, and are specifically designed for economic scenario analysis.
  • Many investor types, including pension funds, life insurance companies, family offices, asset managers, and sovereign wealth funds, can benefit from using ESGs to optimize portfolio performance and mitigate risk.
