Please find attached the October issue of 00 View, Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management's flagship thought-leadership publication. In this edition, Chief Investment Officer Asoka W6hrmann tackles the question "Why are markets so unsettled?" and explores why we believe a global economic recovery remains intact despite a more muted outlook for some markets, particularly in developing countries. His nine positions are: — Pace of global economic growth is likely to slow down for a while. — Emerging markets' growth advantage has been eroded. — Commodity-exporting countries hurt by low commodity prices. — U.S. Federal Reserve Board postpones rate hike and the pace of subsequent increases will be slow. — The Fed and low inflation may force the European Central Bank to continue easing beyond September 2016. — Private equity and hedge funds should benefit from the capital market environment. — Oil prices climb as slowly as output capacity contracts. — Earnings forecasts revised down slightly for developed markets and significantly for emerging markets. — Asset allocation of our balanced model portfolio for clients based in the Americas: Equities: 50%, Fixed income: 39%, Alternatives: 10%, Commodities: 1% If you wish to discuss where we see opportunity in current markets, we will be happy to schedule a call.
