On the plane home I jotted down some feedback as there seemed to be an element of consensus and also from it a potential trade idea. There is no doubt, that for the people we met, that the events in the Ukraine weigh heavier that Greece. There was a feeling that Greece could be contained and although there would be more 'to-ing and fro-ing' as regards negotiations it was something that could be ultimately resolved without Grexit. What worried German managers more was the Ukraine. It is evident in Germany the country is behind Merkel but are skeptical over what she can achieve in Minsk. Oil was not an issue and it was felt contango would persist until the OPEC commentary on production in July. Other issues were the low availability of broker dealer liquidity across all asset classes was discussed. Most expected a Fed hike in the summer and had a number circa 3% for 10yr UST and no one felt any need to keep pushing the UST or the US HY trade. The MSFT offering was discussed and people understood that some pension funds had to take this deal but all felt 153bps over ignored the duration risk. If the US recovery keeps improving and rates rise reversing the hunt for yield then loses from a stronger USD, margin pressure and wage price rises mean that the trade will be Europe over US for the rest of 2015. So what to own in Europe? There was little for owning bond-like proxies in equity. As the move in Syr UST showed on Friday on a strong payroll number that if bond yields rise then things that look and smell like bonds will also see their yields rise. Case in point the 4% fall in S&P Utilities on Friday. EFTA_R1_01641380 EFTA02509867 Everyone felt if a lid is put on Greece or the Ukraine then they want to own blue chip Eurozone cyclicals with a decent yield and USD earnings. As was pointed out if there was a war in the Ukraine and a Grexit these same stocks would fall 10-15% so there was patience to this trade but all meetings distilled down to this subgroup. On my return to London I had our Synthetic research team this morning screen for the following criteria European Listed names with over 30% of sales to US, a market Cap over $10bn and a dividend yield f/c for this year over 2%. We also removed highly defensive names, oils and banks from the list to reach a more cyclical and non-bank exposure. The final list is below and the blended average yield of the thirteen names is 3.1%. We can turn this into a basket if you so wish.
