Chile has been the worst performing emerging equity market over 2013 for
two main reasons. First is the continued bearish outlook for the copper price,
which is the most important external driver for the Chilean economy and has
been highly correlated with the historical performance of Chilean equities,
despite the absence of direct plays on the metal. Second, the equilibrium
between capital and the state, which had survived twenty years of government
by the leftist Concertacion, has been disturbed by the widespread popular
agitation against the current education system and other policies which are
deemed by much of the electorate to favour business and the top 10% of
Chilean society. The almost inevitable (re)-election of Michelle Bachelet is quite
certain to be accompanied by a much more leftist agenda, which will
redistribute resources away from capital to the state and labour.
The most important question for investors is the extent to which these two
factors are discounted in the current level of the equity market. There has been
a big de-rating over the past eighteen months (Figure 62 and Figure 63), which
probably discounts the changes to the corporate tax system which are almost
certain to take place in the early stages of a new Bachelet-led administration.
Nevertheless, the overall level of valuations both in absolute terms and relative
to GEM is still not cheap, and neither a further big deterioration in the demand
for copper, nor the potential inability of the new administration to withstand
further pressure for even more redistributive policies, are priced in to the
market.
