Market Review
and Outlook US
The labour market remained strong in June while inflation remained weak. Job
creation accelerated in June bringing the average monthly increase this year to
190,000, a pace which promises to keep the labour market strong. The
unemployment rate ticked up to 4.4%, a little below most estimates of the
long-run sustainable rate. Wage gains were modest, rising 0.15% bringing the y/
y change to 2.5%. That rate of increase may be consistent with subdued
productivity gains, but the question remains whether better outturns should be
expected if the economy is operating with no more slack.
By contrast with the strength in the labour market, core inflation disappointed
again. Although some of the internal details were stronger, pronounced declines
in volatile categories like airfares and lodging kept the y/y change in core
Consumer Price Index ("CPI") inflation at 1.7%, a notable slowing of 0.5
percentage points from the beginning of the year.
GDP growth was revised up to 1.4% (annual rate) in the first quarter and is
consistently tracking above 2% in the current quarter, making for the same sort
of dull slightly above-trend growth that has characterised the whole expansion.
The household sector appears to be late-cycle in so far as consumption is
slowing but still above trend, especially auto sales which have settled into a
new lower range of 16.5 million units at an annual rate. Meanwhile, the
business sector has more life. Sentiment is healthy, surveys are constructive,
and business investment has firmed.
Washington is busy this summer. The Senate is grappling with health care
legislation and the House is trying to pass a fiscal year 2018 budget that
would set the stage for tax cuts. Must-pass legislation on the debt limit and
Government funding looms in September. The White House is developing its tax,
deregulation and trade plans.
UK
Even as more signs of a gradual slowdown in the domestic economy emerged over
the past month, the labour market so far seems to be unperturbed: Q1 GDP growth
was revised down to 0.2% q/q from its initial estimate of 0.3% q/q, and Q2
looks set to print in a similar range. House prices continued to slow in y/y
terms on the Halifax and Rightmove metrics. Retail sales resumed their downward
trend, slowing to 0.9% y/y in May, while Industrial Production ("IP") was down
0.3% y/y. While weaker Sterling, compared to its level 18 months ago, should
have boosted IP, it's possible that the uncertainty around Brexit and the
future trading relationship between the UK and the EU has encouraged firms to
boost margins rather than expand production. Hence, the weakness of the
currency may not prove as stimulative as previous instances of Sterling
depreciation.
Inflation remains broadly on the rise, despite a downtick in June, as the past
depreciation of the currency continues to feed through to consumer prices.
Headline and core inflation moved up to 2.9% y/y and 2.6% y/y respectively in
May, compared to 1.6% y/y at the end of last year. Headline inflation was last
this high in 2013 and core inflation hit the highest level since 2012. At a
time of subdued wage growth, the rise in inflation has proved a substantial
drag on real incomes, which, in turn, have started to weigh on consumption. So
far, the rise in inflation has not led to the emergence of second-round
effects: inflation expectations remain in line with their historical ranges.
Wage growth slipped to 1.8% 3m/12m in the latest release and has overall been
weaker than one might have expected given the low level of the unemployment
rate. Indeed, the unemployment rate declined to 4.5% in May, the lowest level
since 1975. This dichotomy between low unemployment - at levels normally
associated with a tight labour market - and subdued wage growth as well as
differences in views about the permanence of current above-target inflation may
explain the range of views on the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee
("MPC"). For three members of the Committee - Kristin Forbes, Michael Saunders
and Ian McCafferty - the time was already ripe at the June meeting for the
removal of part of the stimulus injected last August, resulting in a 5-3 vote
to keep rates unchanged. The three hawks argued that slack in the labour market
had continued to diminish and weaker consumption looked to be offset by growth
in business investment and net trade, warranting a 25bps rate hike. It was
Kristin Forbes' last meeting and she has been succeeded by LSE economist
Silvana Tenreyro. However, even some of the more dovish-leaning members of the
MPC have acknowledged that a removal of stimulus may be appropriate soon.
After an unexpected election upset for Prime Minister Theresa May, in which she
lost her absolute majority in Parliament, the Conservative Party entered into a
confidence and supply arrangement with the Northern Irish Democratic Unionist
Party ("DUP"). So far, the Government's position on Brexit has not changed from
before the election, ruling out continued membership of the single market or
customs union, but calls for a softening of the Government's Brexit stance have
intensified. The clearest consequence of the election and subsequent events is
an emerging consensus for less austerity and greater preparedness for tax
rises.
EU
The June composite Purchasing Managers' Index ("PMI") (56.3) was slightly lower
than in April-May (56.8, the strongest level since April 2011) although the IFO
business climate index (115.1 in June) hit another new high since the
pan-German series began in the early 1990s. Overall, the EMU composite PMI
improved in Q2 (+1pt to 56.6), suggesting EMU Q2 GDP growth could be even
stronger than the 0.6% q/q (1.9% y/y) growth rate recorded in Q1. The
strengthening recovery has allowed the euro area unemployment rate to decline
to 9.3%, now down 0.9pp from a year ago and the lowest since the same rate in
March 2009. However, as recognised by the European Central Bank ("ECB"), there
is still a high degree of labour market slack over and above that suggested by
the unemployment rate, accounting for subdued wage growth and underlying
inflation. Euro area negotiated wage growth edged up only slightly in Q1 2017
to 1.5% y/y from 1.4% y/y in Q4 2016, after averaging just 1.4% for the whole
of 2016 - the slowest annual growth rate since 1991. Euro area headline
Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices ("HICP") inflation eased slightly further
to 1.3% y/y in June from 1.4% y/y in May, even as core inflation rebounded to
1.1% y/y in June from 0.9% y/y in May. A slight upward trend in core inflation
is now discernible.
Since the dovish June press conference, ECB President Draghi's Sintra speech
(28 June) triggered a bond market sell-off. The elements of novelty within
Draghi's speech were the increased confidence that the low inflation period can
be temporary and the notion that the ECB can accompany the recovery by changing
the parameters of its policy, though with the aim of keeping the stance
unchanged rather than tightening it (i.e. tapering QE, but with no hint of a
rate hike). The latest account of the 7-8 June meeting also suggested some
discussion of removal of the quantitative easing ("QE") bias, on top of the
rate easing bias (which was indeed removed). However, the future removal of the
QE bias was linked to confidence in the translation of the economic expansion
into a further improvement of the inflation outlook, which suggests that the
time is not ripe as of yet for its removal. Furthermore, this view is also
supported by ECB acknowledgment that even small changes in wording could
translate into unwarranted tightening of financial conditions, a notion which
was likely strengthened following the market reaction to Draghi's Sintra
speech. Overall, the ECB's recent communication can be viewed as just a step of
the gradual process towards an exit, rather than any outright hawkish step.
China
Activity data improved in June. The official PMI was stronger at 51.7 versus
51.2 for May, and the Caixin PMI also improved from 49.6 for May to 50.4 in
June. Fixed Asset Investment growth recorded was 8.6% for June which was
slightly higher than the 8.5% expected. IP growth was strong, recording 7.6%
for June, significantly higher than the 6.5% expectation. Retail sales
continued to improve and printed 11.0% y/y for June. Inflation was subdued at
an unchanged 1.5%, likewise producer prices remained unchanged from the prior
month. On the external side export data improved further to 11.3% y/y for June
and imports had further gains in June to be 17.2% y/y up from 14.8%. The seven
day repo rate on average was 3.37% for June compared to 3.34% for May.
Japan
The dynamics of Japanese monetary policy are becoming more interesting after a
subdued period. For example, at the end of the first week of July, the Bank of
Japan ("BoJ") announced its willingness to buy an unlimited amount of 5 to 10
year Japanese Government Bonds ("JGBs") at 0.11%. JGB rates had begun to rise
in sympathy with rising rates around the world, and the BoJ's announcement
merely unmasked what was implied by its yield-curve control policy of "around
zero". The yen depreciated a little over 1% against the dollar that week and
longer rates fell slightly.
Recent economic trends have continued to persist. The real economy continues to
firm. The quarterly Tankan survey index improved with manufacturing indices at
or exceeding previous highs for the cycle. Non-Manufacturing indices weren't
quite as strong but still towards the top of their ranges. The Shoko-Chukin
monthly survey of small and medium-sized enterprises improved in July and
appears to be in a rising trend after falling a little over a year ago. The
Economy Watchers survey has been more volatile, but it too improved in the most
recent report. The diffusion index at the 50-par line is at its best level for
the year. Industrial production moved down in May after a pop in April but even
then remains inside an upward-sloping channel.
The news on inflation continues to disappoint. Prices excluding all food and
energy ticked up in May. Even so, they remain slightly below the level seen a
year ago. Tokyo prices, which also moved up in May, fell back in June. Neither
inflation rate shows any inclination to lift off zero, let alone approach the
BoJ's two-percent target. Consumer inflation expectations have been a little
better. They rose in April, which by itself isn't particularly special as there
appears to be a tendency for them to firm at the start of the fiscal year.
However, subsequently they retained that higher level, which was last seen two
years ago when they were declining from a much higher level in 2014.
There are likely to be additional, more stringent market tests of the BoJ's
resolve to come. As the gap between the BoJ's accommodative policy and the
rest-of-the-world's increasingly less accommodative policy widens, long-term
Japanese rates and the yen will come under greater pressure. It's a race
between inflation and inflation expectations on the one hand and political
pressure from actors who may find the stepped up pace of bond buying in the
face of a weakening yen too unpalatable. Consequently, investors have to pay
some attention to Prime Minister Abe's political standing. One might be tempted
to brush off the drubbing Abe's Liberal Democratic Party took in the Tokyo
municipal assembly as somewhat idiosyncratic. However, at the same time his
approval poll figures have dropped to their lowest level since he took office.
Some have suggested that in response the Government will be more inclined to
boost Government spending, which could bring things to a head more quickly. At
the same time, it suggests a more tenuous grip on power and the need to tread
more carefully.

as required by applicable law, BHM, the Fund and BHCM expressly disclaim any
obligations to update or revise such estimates to reflect any change in
expectations, new information, subsequent events or otherwise.
Tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each investor in BHM
and may be subject to change in the future. Returns may increase or decrease as
a result of currency fluctuations.
You should note that, if you invest in BHM, your capital will be at risk and
you may therefore lose some or all of any amount that you choose to invest.
This material is not intended to constitute, and should not be construed as,
investment advice. All investments are subject to risk. You are advised to
seek expert legal, financial, tax and other professional advice before making
any investment decisions.
THE VALUE OF INVESTMENTS CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP. YOU MAY NOT GET BACK THE
AMOUNT ORIGINALLY INVESTED AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OF YOUR INVESTMENT. PAST
PERFORMANCE IS NOT A RELIABLE INDICATOR OF FUTURE RESULTS.
Risk Factors
Acquiring shares in BHM may expose an investor to a significant risk of losing
all of the amount invested. Any person who is in any doubt about investing in
BHM (and therefore gaining exposure to the Fund) should consult an authorised
person specialising in advising on such investments. Any person acquiring
shares in BHM must be able to bear the risks involved. These include the
following:
* The Fund is speculative and involves substantial risk.
* The Fund will be leveraged and will engage in speculative investment
practices that may increase the risk of investment loss. The Fund may invest in
illiquid securities.
* Past results of the Fund's investment managers are not necessarily indicative
of future performance of the Fund, and the Fund's performance may be volatile.
* An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his or her investment.
* The Fund's investment managers have total investment and trading authority
over the Fund, and the Fund is dependent upon the services of the investment
managers.
* Investments in the Fund are subject to restrictions on withdrawal or
redemption and should be considered illiquid. There is no secondary market for
investors' interests in the Fund and none is expected to develop.
* The investment managers' incentive compensation, fees and expenses may offset
the Fund's trading and investment profits.
* The Fund is not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information
to investors with respect to individual investments.
* The Fund is not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds.
* A portion of the trades executed for the Fund may take place on foreign
markets.
* The Fund and its investment managers are subject to conflicts of interest.
* The Fund is dependent on the services of certain key personnel, and, were
certain or all of them to become unavailable, the Fund may prematurely
terminate.
* The Fund's managers will receive performance-based compensation. Such
compensation may give such managers an incentive to make riskier investments
than they otherwise would.
* The Fund may make investments in securities of issuers in emerging markets.
Investment in emerging markets involve particular risks, such as less strict
market regulation, increased likelihood of severe inflation, unstable
currencies, war, expropriation of property, limitations on foreign investments,
increased market volatility, less favourable or unstable tax provisions,
illiquid markets and social and political upheaval.
The above summary risk factors do not purport to be a complete description of
the relevant risks of an investment in shares of BHM or the Fund and therefore
reference should be made to publicly available documents and information.END
