WEEKLY ECONOMIC UPDATE September 30, 2013 HOUSEHOLDS BOOST THEIR SPENDING August saw a 0.3% gain in personal spending, and the Commerce Department also noted a 0.4% rise in personal income – the largest monthly increase since February. Consumer spending accounts for about 70% of GDP, and analysts widely expect about 2% growth in Q3; Q2 growth was pegged at 2.5% last week in the federal government’s final estimate. In other economic news out of Washington, durable goods orders rose 0.1% in August, a nice change from the 8.1% dive in July.1,2 NEW HOME SALES UP, PENDING HOME SALES DOWN July was the worst month for new home buying since October 2012, so the 7.9% sales gain in August was welcome. New home inventory rose 3.6% in August to the highest level since March 2011, the Commerce Department noted. The National Association of Realtors reported a 1.6% decline in pending home sales in August. July’s S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index showed a 12.4% yearly rise in home values across 20 cities – the best 12-month increase since February 2006.3,4 ASSESSMENTS OF CONSUMER SENTIMENT DIFFER September’s Conference Board consumer confidence index came in at 79.7, down notably from the August reading of 81.8. The University of Michigan’s final consumer sentiment index for the month offered a 77.5 reading, the lowest mark for the index in almost five months; even so, it beat the final August mark of 76.8 and the Briefing.com consensus forecast of 77.0. 2,5 STOCKS DIP DURING ANXIOUS WEEK With a last-minute showdown over the federal budget looming in Congress and consumers and business owners trying to learn more about the healthcare exchanges slated to open October 1, there was a lot to concern Wall Street and Main Street last week. The Dow (-1.25 to 15,258.24) and S&P 500 (-1.06% to 1,691.75) made weekly retreats, but the NASDAQ rose 0.18% in five days to settle at 3,781.59 Friday.5 THIS WEEK: No major economic releases are scheduled for Monday; Wall Street’s eyes will be on Congress. Tuesday, ISM presents its September manufacturing index, August auto sales numbers are out from the Commerce Department, and Walgreens and Global Payments present earnings. Wednesday brings ADP’s employment change report for September and earnings from Monsanto; Ben Bernanke speaks (briefly) at the St. Louis Fed. Thursday offers ISM’s September nonmanufacturing index, the September Challenger job-cut report, the latest initial jobless claims

figures, a report on August factory orders and earnings from Constellation Brands. Friday sees the release of the Labor Department’s September employment report. % CHANGE

As the federal government’s fiscal year 2013 comes to a close on September 30th, the results of a recent Bloomberg poll on government finances caught our attention. 2013 will mark the first year since the financial crisis that the government has run a deficit less than $1 trillion dollars with this year’s revenue shortfall estimated to be $642 billion. Although the 2013 numbers were helped a bit by one-off accounting gains from GSEs, spending cuts and tax increases were responsible for much of the 40% reduction over the last year. Unfortunately however, of those polled by Bloomberg last week, 59% believed the deficit got bigger last year, 26% thought it was about the same and only 10% thought it got smaller, which raises concerns that voters might be taking sides in political debates without correct information.

NOT FDIC INSURED | NO BANK GUARANTEE | MAY LOSE VALUE

Market Perspectives BY SCOTT MINERD | GLOBAL CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER

September 2013

Rising Interest Rates Must End Soon The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury bond has risen by more than 84 percent from May to early September, one of the most violent and rapid increases on record. This spike has caused severe convulsions in the bond market, leading many investors to wonder how long the torment can last. If history is our guide, the answer is that it may be over soon. Investors would be wise to remember that “soon” is a period of time, not a matter of degree. I make this point to be clear that while long-term interest rates still have room to increase in this historic bear market—maybe even significantly—now may be the most opportune time to purchase longer duration fixed-income securities in the past two years.

Largest Rise in 50 Years On June 19, Ben Bernanke amplified signals that the Federal Reserve was preparing to taper bond purchases as part of his roadmap to unwind quantitative easing. His words, intended to calm markets, did just the opposite, spurring an unprecedented rise in rates. Rates began to move sharply higher in early May when the Fed turned hawkish and really took off after Bernanke’s comments. The increase in U.S. Treasury yields of more than 115 percent since their bottom in July 2012 is greater on a percentage basis than any cyclical increase from trough to peak in the past 50 years. Previously, the largest such increase was 94 percent between CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE MARKET PERSPECTIVES BY SCOT T MINERD

THE GREATEST RISE Over the past 50 years, 10-year Treasury yields have increased more than 20 percent over 200 days a total of 17 times. Studying these cycles, the increase of more than 115 percent since July 2012 is greater on a percentage basis than any other cyclical increase from trough to peak in the past 50 years. The largest cyclical uptrend within the previous 16 cycles was 94 percent between December 2008 and April 2010.

December 2008 and April 2010. With history as our guide, we are now only days from the average length of such bear markets. The average time from trough to peak is 423 days. Now as Fed policymakers meet to discuss tapering asset purchases, it has been 420 days since rates last bottomed in July 2012. Once rates peak, the average decline of the previous 16 interest rate cycles is 35 percent. That means, if 3 percent was the top of the current interest rate cycle we could expect rates to fall below 2 percent before another meaningful sell-off. Similarly, if rates continue to rise and top out at 3.5 percent, the trough could be 2.25 percent if averages hold. Whether rates on 10-year Treasury notes continue to rise from here or not, this could be a relatively good entry point to purchase long-duration bonds.

Buying Opportunity Near The reality of how badly higher interest rates are hurting the economy is slowly becoming apparent and may soon prompt a reversal of fortune for bond investors. So, what should an investor do? Now may be the time to consider adding to fixed-income assets, especially longer-duration bonds. Given the strong, negative sentiment, history tells us that a buying opportunity cannot be far away. While there is additional downside risk, no one can pick a top or bottom in markets with complete precision. But if history is any indication, 10-year rates may be heading back to 2.25 percent or lower, meaning the bet may pay off. Why should interest rates decline? Since the Fed turned hawkish in May, higher interest rates have sent mortgage rates skyward. The abrupt rise in mortgage rates is having a material impact on housing activity. With mortgage applications declining, the critical tailwind of housing in the current expansion may soon become a headwind. More than half of all economic growth since last year came from housing-related activity.

Additionally, aggregate wages have begun to stagnate, leading to poor retail sales with autos and home suppliers being the sole bright spots. Without the wealth effect from housing to fuel consumption, it will be hard for the economy to overcome increasing challenges associated with the contracting fiscal reality. It is safe to say that if rates move significantly over 3 percent it would be devastating for an already struggling American economy, prompting policymakers and investors to realize the growth the Fed hoped for is nothing more than a mirage. Adding impetus for rates to move lower will be fiscal developments that should translate into lower-than-expected new U.S. Treasury debt issuance. The U.S. federal budget is shrinking, and tax receipts in 2014 are expected to rise thanks to higher taxes and strong capital gains receipts following strong 2013 stock market gains, thus reducing the supply of government debt.

Could recent market convulsions have been avoided? The simple answer is yes. Dr. Bernankeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected January 2014 departure as chairman after eight years overseeing unprecedented growth of the Fedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s balance sheet may have left him with an urgent desire to show an exit strategy. Were it not for his impending exit, I suspect he would have otherwise let the economic data unfold for another three or six months before considering tapering.

Investment Implications There has been much talk in recent months of the end of the 30-year bull market in bonds, but the coming bear market likely remains several years away. I believe rates will stay low and hover in a trading pattern for the next three to five years, similar to the 1940s, the period most analogous to today. During the 1940s and early 1950s, interest rates remained artificially low and oscillated between bear and bull markets for nine years. If I am correct, U.S. bond investors should expect yields to similarly remain low for the foreseeable future, but volatility like that seen this year could become a more regular occurrence. In the near-term, if these dynamics play out as I expect, investors might begin planning to add longer duration, high-quality assets such as investment-grade corporate bonds to their portfolios. If rates peak in the near-term and reverse course, these assets, in particular, will be the primary beneficiaries. As we move through the turbulence of tapering and look at the fundamental factors on the horizon, investors must have their antennae up to monitor the timing of these changing dynamics. While I see relief from rising rates soon, now is a time for bond investors to have patience, a watchful eye, and a strong resolve. This year, equities have stolen the spotlight with strong returns, but are now badly in need of consolidation. Meanwhile, fixed-income investors seem overwhelmed with fatigue and have begun to throw in the towel after a discouraging year marked by poor performance and negative returns. This may just be the time to dust off this unloved asset class and consider history. Now may be the best time to buy bonds in years.

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.

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.

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.
