AI Summary

Price has decisively broken horizontal support and short-term EMAs are declining, but extreme oversold readings grant permission for a medium-term bullish mean-reversion bias. We remain cautious as price trades below the 9/20/50 EMAs and need to see clear absorption and acceptance back above those moving averages before committing. Until a base and reclaim are evident, we defer execution and watch for confirmation.

Transcript signals

Bull points

  • The third quarter marked a major turning point across most of our markets. Many of our asset classes saw double digit returns in the quarter aided by the three drivers I mentioned on the last call: Attractive valuations, clarity on Fed rate cuts, and severe under ownership of our asset classes.
  • On a one-year basis, 96% of our AUM is Outperformance Benchmark, while our three, five, and 10-year outperformance stands at 97%, 97%, and 99%, respectively.
  • Our one-year and three-year excess returns of 394 basis points and 192 basis points, respectively, are at or above our targets.

Bear points

  • We're seeing a general uptick in activity on Australia. These inflows were partially offset by a $192 million outflow completing a liquidation that began last quarter from a European institution who terminated a U.S. domiciled allocator.
  • We do know of 1 billion in expected redemptions pending from advisory and sub-advisory clients that will likely be split roughly half in the fourth quarter and half in the first quarter of 2025.
