Big picture decisions for Australian equities in 2013 by Macquarie Investment Management

KEY MACQUARIE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT'S VIEWPOINTS:
  • We remain overweight mining and select mining services companies as we believe the markets is too pessimistic on commodity prices and is prematurely calling the end of the commodity cycle.
  • We believe overall Eurozone can achieve zero to small positive GDP growth, materially better than the dramatic slowdown that occurred in 2012.
  • We remain underweight the expensive defensive and high yield/no growth stocks as we see global risk appetite returning with fading GFC2 fears.
  • We are very selective in our positioning in Australian domestic exposed cyclicals. We see the cycle turning more favourable in 2014 than 2013 presently, but structural issues remain.
  • We see enormous value opportunities in Australian market reminiscent of the GFC-induced low in March 2009.
