15. Topics covered during the First Quarter: Macroeconomic Market Triggers Yield Curve (Credit Spread) Analysis Fixed Income Security Analysis Individual Equity Security Analysis Equity Screening Procedures Equity Valuation Models and Practices First Quarter Analytical Work

16. Yield Curve Analysis (Credit Spreads) A Wall Street Journal Survey of top economists reported that credit spreads are the primary predictor of recovery being monitored by economists. As such, SMIF spent significant time and effort analyzing the credit spreads for their power to predict the sustainability of equity market rallies. Flattening or widening credit spreads were observed during false (unsustained) equity market rallies. Rallies accompanied by significant narrowing of credit spreads showed much greater sustainability. Class analysis correctly predicted the fleeting nature of the January rally, and sees the current market rally as unsustainable as well.

17. Several equities were analyzed in the first quarter. None were selected for inclusion in the portfolio. Among the equities analyzed: Apollo Group (APOL) Cal-Maine Foods (CALM) Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) See attached handouts for detailed analyses of these securities. First Quarter Analytical Work Example: Johnson & Johnson

18. Fixed Income Several Alternatives Were Considered: Certificates of Deposit Money Market Mutual Funds Bond Index Exchange Traded Funds Ultimately, Money Market Mutual Funds were most attractive vehicle. Currently they provide the best liquidity-adjusted rate of return. First Quarter Analytical Work

19. Federal Reserve Actions – Now committing an additional $750 billion to agency MBS (Total = $1.25 Trillion) – Additional $100 billion for agency debt (Total = $200 billion) – $300 billion to purchase long-term Treasuries Rationale – Federal Reserve actions will place an implicit ceiling on interest rates – Provide a better return than treasuries with only minimal risk Risk – Interest-rate risk – Liquidity risk – Political risk Conclusion – ETF transaction costs will offset the potential rewards – ETF has 20% exposure to long end of yield curve increasing interest rate risk Example: iShares Barclay’s Agency Bond ETF (AGZ)

20. Equity Market Expectations Observations and Expectations: Volatility showing signs of abatement Current rally feels more substantive Macroeconomic factors becoming “less bad” However, sector performance relationships are inconsistent with typical early bull markets Expectations of another potential correction prior to a sustainable rally beginning mid to late second quarter

21. Anticipated Future Actions Moving Forward: Continue to monitor market developments – Volatility – Macroeconomic Data – Credit Spreads – Government Policy Search for securities with potential for inclusion in the CFAOCF Portfolio Perform due diligence, gaining experience and insight into professional security analysis
