WEEKLY ECONOMIC UPDATE March 17, 2014 RETAIL SALES UP 0.3% IN FEBRUARY Weather didn’t stop Americans from shopping last month. February’s headline gain in retail sales was the first in three months and represented a nice turnaround from the (revised) 0.6% drop measured by the Commerce Department for January. Minus car and truck buying, the February increase was still 0.3%. Sales at clothing and furniture retailers led the way, both improving 0.4% on the month.1 SENTIMENT COOLS AS WEATHER WARMS The preliminary March reading for the University of Michigan’s monthly consumer sentiment index was just 79.9, a 4-month low. February’s final mark was 81.6, and analysts polled by MarketWatch forecast an initial March reading of 80.8.2,3 PRODUCER PRICES RETREAT, AGAINST EXPECTATIONS After rising 0.2% for January, the Producer Price Index ticked down 0.1% in February; in a Bloomberg survey, economists projected a 0.2% increase. The core PPI (minus food and energy prices) dropped 0.2% last month. Over the past year, the headline PPI has risen just 0.9%. 2,3 OVERSEAS HEADLINES HAMPER STOCKS Would Crimeans vote to leave Ukraine and join Russia on March 16? To what degree was China’s economy cooling off? These questions preoccupied Wall Street last week, and the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all turned south. The 5-day performances: S&P, -1.97% to 1,841.13; Dow, -2.35% to 16,065.67; Nasdaq, -2.10% to 4,245.40.4,5 THIS WEEK Monday morning, Wall Street will react to the outcome of the Crimean referendum; the March NAHB housing market index and the Federal Reserve’s report on February industrial output also arrive. Tuesday, investors will consider February’s CPI, data on February housing starts and building permits, and earnings from Oracle, Perry Ellis, Adobe and Hertz. Wednesday brings a Federal Reserve policy announcement (and the potential for further tapering of QE3); Guess, KB Home, FedEx and General Mills announce quarterly results. On Thursday, NAR issues February existing home sales figures, the Conference Board puts out its February leading indicator index, a new round of initial jobless claims data arrives, and Nike, ConAgra and Lennar present earnings. No major economic releases are scheduled for Friday.

MGAM Tactical Dynamic Allocation Strategy
Opportunistic portfolios are created during market bottoms taking advantage of lower prices and higher cash flows. 2002 and 2009 are excellent examples.
As equity markets rise, the goal becomes scaling back risk toward a more moderate portfolio.
5
Following major stock market rallies, the goal is to protect gains by moving to a more conservative portfolio. 1999 and 2007 provided opportunities in more conservative fixed income instruments as the Federal Reserve tightened interest rates.
Tactical allocation provides a planning tool for adjusting portfolios for the economic cycle, but does not eliminate risk or assure future performance.

MARCH 12 2014
Five years into the U.S. bull market this remains a “risk on” environment, but with monetary tightening on the horizon now is a time to become more cautious and start thinking about what comes next. Global CIO Commentary by Scott Minerd Having enjoyed investing in a “risk on” environment for the past five years, it is important for us to be cognizant that the excessive margin of safety, which made it easy to buy U.S. stocks and bonds over the last few years, will not exist forever. Now, we must become more cautious. Famed investor and author Benjamin Graham described a good investment as one which “upon thorough analysis, promises safety of principal and a satisfactory return.” We should remember Graham’s wisdom as we invest for the future and hope to avoid the pitfalls of an overvalued market. The reality is that U.S. securities are no longer fundamentally cheap and thorough due diligence is more important now than at any stage over the past few years. With the U.S. economy strong and monetary accommodation from the Federal Reserve set to continue for a while longer, we are clearly starting to pass into a realm of relative overvaluation. For example, last week spreads on CCC corporate bonds were 689 basis points over U.S. Treasuries. They could be headed back to the lows we saw in 2007 when they touched 500 basis points. After a very challenging winter where extreme weather dampened economic activity, pent-up consumer demand will likely spur a second quarter rebound in economic growth. This may push credit spreads even tighter. While I am not advocating an immediate change in direction or the sudden adoption of a more defensive investment approach, such a shift may be required as the economy gathers steam over the next 12-24 months. Now, we must guard against becoming complacent about the quality of investments we make and their inherent risks. What we buy today we own tomorrow and if we fail to prepare for every eventuality, then we should prepare to fail. We are entering a new era where interest rates are inevitably heading higher over the long term. Before we get there, however, there may be one more dip in rates, and a Fed-hike-induced U.S. economic slowdown may provide the catalyst. Additionally, there is a ceiling on how high rates U.S. interest rates can rise in advance of the inevitable monetary tightening. Given that we are still sometime away from that event, I see the likely upper bound for the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield at 3.25 percent in the near term. Chart of the Week Ceiling for U.S. Interest Rates Until Fed Tightens
Some investors believe that with 10-Year U.S. Treasury yields at about 2.72 percent and with the Federal Reserve expected to start hiking the federal funds rate by 2016, interest rates could move significantly higher. This is because, historically, the maximum spread between 10-Year Treasury yields and the fed funds target rate is about 400 basis points. With the fed funds rate now at 0-25 basis points, that suggests yields could top 4 percent. However, accounting for the current position in the monetary policy cycle tells a different story. The median spread between 10-Year Treasuries and fed funds is about 150 basis points when monetary tightening is 12-18 months away. This suggests Treasury yields are unlikely to go much higher since they are already pushing historical limits for this relative point in time.

Source: Haver, Bloomberg, Guggenheim Investments. Data as of 3/11/2014. Note: We use spread data from ten periods of the Federal Reserve beginning a sustained series of federal funds rate increases, since 1955.
Economic Data Releases U.S. Labor Market Appears Solid despite the Temporary Freeze
Non-farm payrolls were better than expected in February, adding 175,000 jobs. Gains were fairly well distributed across industries, and steady job growth occurred despite a high number of people unable to work during the survey week. Average hourly earnings rose a robust 0.4 percent in February, the best in eight months. Average weekly hours declined to 34.2, the lowest in over three years. The drop was due to cold and stormy weather conditions, which led to a near-record number of people not working a full week. The unemployment rate surprisingly ticked up to 6.7 percent from 6.6 percent, due to an increasing labor force and a weak household employment report. Job openings rose less than expected in January according to the Job Opening and Labor Turnover Survey. In a worrying sign, the level of both hirings and quits were lower than in December. Initial jobless claims dropped 26,000 to 323,000 for the week ended February 28th, the lowest level in three months. The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index dropped lower than expected in the February survey to 91.4, the lowest in nearly one year. Plans to hire and the business outlook recorded particularly large decreases. U.S. factory orders had a second consecutive month of decline in January, falling 0.7 percent. Factory Output Falls in Euro Zone, China’s Exports Plunge
Euro zone industrial production unexpectedly declined for a second consecutive month in January, down 0.2 percent. The decrease was led by a large drop in energy production. Germany’s exports rebounded 2.2 percent in January after falling the previous month. Industrial production in France decreased for a second consecutive month in January, down 0.2 percent. U.K. industrial production ticked up 0.1 percent in January, with another strong month of manufacturing output. Chinese exports plunged 18.1 percent in February, the largest drop since 2009. However, the decrease is difficult to interpret, due to the Chinese New Year and possible fake invoicing that previously inflated the trade data. China’s CPI slid further downward in February, reaching a 13-month low of 2.0 percent. Japan’s economy watchers survey was worse than expected in February, with an especially large drop in the outlook, which fell to the worst level since the 2011 tsunami, likely due to the looming tax increase.

Performance data quoted reflects past performance which cannot guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Investment return and principal value is subject to fluctuations with changes in market conditions such that shares may be worth more or less than original cost when sold. Returns are calculated by subtracting the value of a share at the beginning of the period from the value at the end and dividing the difference by the initial value expressing the result as a percentage change. The calculation assumes that all distributions during the period have been reinvested on the payable dates, at NAV or at market price according to how the returns are labeled. The returns do not reflect broker sales charges or commissions. Net asset value (NAV) is total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding. Pease see final page fopr important information on risks of investing in these funds and other important disclosure.

Closed End Fund Disclosures This is not a complete list of available closed-end funds. Depending on your needs, objectives, goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance there may be other investment products that are more suitable for your particular situation. The listed funds may not be suitable for all investors. Investors must make their own decisions based on their specific investment objectives and financial circumstances. Additional information is available upon request. Prices and yields are as of the date indicated only and are subject to availability and market fluctuation/change. Closed -end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. After the initial public offering, shares are sold on the open market through a stock exchange. Holding municipal bonds within a closed-end fund could result in taxable capital gains. An insured fund guarantees only the timely payment of interest and principal on the bonds in the fund's portfolio. Insurance or escrow does not guarantee the market value of the municpal's securities or the value of the fund's shares Global/International investing involves risks not typically associated with US investing, including currency fluctuations, political instability, uncertain economic conditions and different accounting standards. Investments in high yield, non-investment grade securities are generally only suitable for aggressive investors willing to take greater risks, which could result in loss of principal and interest payments. Investing in Closed-End Funds may also involve the following risks: Market Risk - General stock market fluctuations and volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of the issuers change. Investor perceptions can be based on various and unpredictable factors including expectations regarding government economic, monetary and fiscal policies, inflation and interest rates, economic expansion or contraction and political climates. The value of any security can rise or fall and when liquidated , may be worth more or less than the original investment. Price Risk - Refers to the fact that shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value. Interest rate risk - The risk that arise in interest rates will cause the value of an investment to decline. Credit Risk - Refers to a bond issuer's ability to meet its obligation to make interest and principal payments, or a decline in the market's assessment of the issuer's ability to pay. Generally, lower rated securities provide higher current income but are considered to carry greater credit risk than higher rated securities. Leverage Risk - The risk of higher share price volatility and that the cost to a fund of its leveraged capital, such as preferred stock or debt, will exceed the earnings on the related assets. These securities are not suitable for all investors and should not be purchased on the basis of yield alone. The market price of these securities may decline. Dividend yields are not guaranteed and may be reduced, which may negatively impact the price of the security. Price changes may be amplified by portfolio leverage. The performance provided is past performance , which does not guarantee future results and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

The preceding list of candidate investments is not constructed to guide portfolios outside of MGAM. Deletions and additions occur without notice and the actively managed portfolios of MGAM will vary from the preceding list. Prices and yields are as of the date indicated only and are subject to availability and market fluctuation/change. Closed -end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. After the initial public offering, shares are sold on the open market through a stock exchange. Performance data quoted reflects past performance which cannot guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Investment return and principal value is subject to fluctuations with changes in market conditions such that shares may be worth more or less than original cost when sold. Returns are calculated by subtracting the value of a share at the beginning of the period from the value at the end and dividing the difference by the initial value expressing the result as a percent change. The returns do not reflect broker sales charges or commissions. Net asset value (NAV) is total assets divided by the less total liabilities number of shares outstanding. Holding municipal bonds within a closed-end fund could result in taxable capital gains. An insured fund guarantees only the timely payment of interest and principal on the bonds in the fund's portfolio. Insurance or escrow does not guarantee the market value of the municipal’s securities or the value of the fund's shares.
