LAST SUNSET STRIP FOR 2016&SEE YOU IN 2017!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  MARKET SUMMARY MACRO/STOCK EVENTS: Tonight – UK GDP; US New Home Sales, University of Michigan Sentiment. Tomorrow – None.

CHART OF THE DAY: The chart below shows the trend in Chinese inflationary outlook. China’s official inflation rate -- still near its 2 percent average of the past four years -- masks a surge in living costs felt by its most-influential citizens. That’s why Hao Hong, chief strategist at Bank of Communications International Holdings Co. in Hong Kong, is looking at surging housing and factory prices, as well as weakening yuan forwards and collapsing bonds, to more effectively gauge inflation. As the consumer-price index rose 2.3 percent in November from a year earlier, the producer-price index jumped 3.3 percent and new home costs in first-tier cities surged almost 27 percent. "China’s official consumer price index is definitely understated,” Hong said. The currency is weakening with "persisting momentum, and the 10-year yields rise isn’t done yet.” Savers in the biggest cities, the most able to flee a plunging local currency or hunt for returns to preserve their wealth, are feeling the impact of rising housing costs that boost everything from the price of copper and steel to the wages of nannies and waiters. Consumer prices rose 3.7 percent in Shanghai in November from a year earlier, even though CPI includes rent but not home-buying prices. “The current basket doesn’t consider the full effect of the burgeoning housing bubble," said Hong.

MARKET COMMENTARY: Aussie Market > Market lost the momentum from four straight positive days to deliver a negative day. We are in the school holiday period where most investors will take the next two weeks off with Christmas and New Year breaks. We have seen better volumes this week than most expected and that may dry up over the next two weeks. The local market reached 18mth high on price index yesterday while making new all-time high on accumulation (i.e. including dividend) index. Local market is trading at stretched multiples with declining yield and growth support. The drivers are all about improving growth and inflation outlook in US and China. China optimism has been clear since Q216 with US optimism starting in Q316 while Republican’s sweeping all layers of the government gave it another kick along in Q416. US Fed has played its part in raising rates and upgrading rate cycle outlook while confirming the improved economic and inflationary outlook. Global markets have run ahead of themselves and now setting up a pullback. Geopolitical risks in Middle East and flow on effects into Europe are more catalyst that may trigger the process. The main market in focus is the US and history shows that there is a substantial relationship in Q4 performance and January returns. US market returns and the Dec-end tax implications means that US fund managers have taken profit in January when Q4 performances were positive while risks were high. Since the GFC (i.e. 2008), every Q4 single digit return (i.e. S&P 500) in the

US has delivered the opposite return in January. And we are looking at a single digit Q4 positive return in 2016. 2010 and 2011 were the exceptions when Q4 returns were double digit and the market ran with the momentum in January. In the last decade US markets have only delivered all positive quarters in 2 years (i.e. 2013 and 2014) and both times we had profit taking in the following January. We are in line to deliver 4 positive quarters in 2016. Local markets have reached 5600 again and weakening local economic outlook and emerging market risk will weigh on the index. The local market is at the mercy of the overpriced US market and we expect that to start to unravel in early Jan as the US tax period ends in December. The stronger the bond yields, the stronger the USD, the more pressure will be on Emerging Markets to raise rates to keep capital&.that will lower the growth outlook for Emerging Markets and their demand for commodities. China could throw in another curve ball by devaluating the Yuan further. We are sitting on declining stimulus hope, historically high commodity prices, historically high USD, potentially higher rates, historically low volatility indices, rising long bond yields, rising inflation and low corporate growth outlook&it can’t stay in this equilibrium&something has to give sooner or later&when everything positive is being priced in and everything negative is being ignored, risk in the market rises&it may have a delayed effect as the US tax cycle ends in Dec&pullback looks very likely in the next three weeks in the US&and for the local markets there is collateral damage!!!

The global markets are in an “Inflation Rally” as US and China data continues to beat expectations while Oil recovers on OPEC deal. Markets have run ahead of themselves and short term shallow retracement is expected in the next three weeks!!! Volatility is heading to all-time lows...trend is not positive for markets&looks like the calm before the storm!!! Interesting moves of the day& (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)

MEDIA SECTOR > Global media M&A and local regulatory changes should keep local old media in play&.NWS, FXJ, NEC, APN look interesting!!!



OIL SECTOR > OPEC deal to reduce supply&even if you don’t believe reduction, it does curtail the growth in supply. Oil became a buy when it went below $40 and bounced in August&.We maintain positive view on WPL and cashed up small caps like AWE and KAR. Shale in US does Page 4

Aussie Afternoon Institutional Market Wrap 23 December 2016

Mathan Somasundaram – Baillieu Holst Quant Strategy [email protected] – 612 9250 8947

cap the upside&.and will drive the sector into oversupply when oil goes above $60. Oil sector is a buy near $40-$45 and will see profit taking near $55-$60 in the short to medium term!!! 

GLOBAL MINERS > Global miners are churning out cash and now back into the dividend cycle. Positive news for mining services!!!



MINING SERVICES > Services sector remains in M&A play as recovery starts to come through with improving cash flow in the mining sector&.ANG, DCG, GNG, RCR et al starting to look interesting&.ANG’s recent trading update confirms our positive view&have raised at 16 cents to cater for rising working capital requirements&watch this space!!!



AMAZON IS COMING > Discretionary retailers, Supermarkets and high margin specialty retailers better get ready&it’s the Netflix of retailers. JBH and HVN are in for serious pain. WES and WOW are going to lose more margin and the turnaround will take longer. Specialist retailers like SUL, PMV and KMD have brand protection&.but low cost competitors are coming via Amazon. Big W and Target are going to get attacked while K Mart and TRS will get hurt despite the improved model.



SUPERMARKETS > Price wars and market share defence will cost margins for everyone in the sector. More global/online players coming into the market in 2017. MTS pricing in too much optimism in hardware while WOW recovery will take longer than expected.



ECB Debacle > Brexit in play&Italian referendum and Austrian election on Dec 4th with French, German etc. elections in 2017&there is more road blocks for recovery with a substantial risk of EU breaking up needs to be priced in. US Fed rates outlook will get very flat if Italy plays hard ball&and 2017 may be further flattened out if French/German protectionism breaks down EU all together.



GOLD SECTOR > As we have been telling clients for a number of months&.Iron Ore became a buy when it bounced above $50&.Oil became a buy when it went below $40 and bounced&.Gold has fallen below $1200 and we expect it to bounce back above $1200 to confirm our positive view again¯o risk building up in 2017!!!



Housing Bubble > We maintain our view from early 2014 that housing bubble will start to roll over in late 2016 with oversupply in apartments and developer financing issues!!! RBA supports our view and warned that the bank profits may be hit and yields may suffer. The alarm bells are ringing on property market&bond yields and interest rates are going up, government budget needs more taxes to keep the bogus 2020/21 budget balance in play, historical high household debt, historical low wages, growth, unemployment, declining rent, oversupply of apartments, SMSF regulatory changes and China further tightening capital outflows!!!

Federal government is already in trouble in multiple policy areas®ulatory risk in number of sectors are rising&.we have already seen banks, super, education, aged care, salary packaging take a hit&.what more could be on the bash list > tourism, retail, supermarket, gambling, energy retailers, asset managers and construction are a few areas to keep an eye on as cross bench takes charge from weak government!!!

Main Thematics > central banks, stimulus, rate cycle, yield, currency, safety, global diversification, demographic changes, Asian middle class

Preferred Sectors > Banks, Miners, Energy, Gold, Specialty Consumer, Tourism, Small Cap Industrials, MITCH (i.e. Media, Information, Telco, Consumer and Health) Take Profit Sectors > Residential Property, Domestic Consumer Sectors, Discretionary Retail, Supermarkets, Infrastructure, Utilities

 MARKET MACRO SUMMARY We maintain our long term bull market view from 2012. It was based on weakness in interest rates, currency, economic growth, commodities and government policy while asset prices and dividend yield thematic will be the key positive drivers. Global investors looking for yield are likely to react in line with AUDUSD. 

Currency to pull back to high 60’s in the back end of 2017 with local economic slowdown, recovering US and China slowdown.



Tidal wave of unemployment to push it up to 6.0% in 2016H2 and above 6.5% in 2017.



Consumer sentiment expected to remain low into 2017 due to underemployment, property bubble, falling disposable income and government policy backflips.



Property bubble in the making in parts of Australia and that will eventually come back to bite margin loan unit investors.



Strong currency and economic woes will drive RBA to cut interest rates down to 1.25% in 2017&next cut in 2017H1



Investors after solid return to cover rising costs will chase equity dividend yield over fixed interest investments.



Global economy is expected to experience more growth downgrades, currency wars and stimulus plans.



Iron Ore and Oil price to average below $60 over the next 12mths.

 TRADING IDEA OF THE DAY 

Empired (EPD) – Baillieu Holst Industrial Analyst Josh Kannourakis has BUY rating and $0.65 price target. Investment view: EPD exhibited markedly improved operational performance in the 2H with underlying margins at or above historical achievements, supporting the one-off nature of 1H16 events. Improved utilisation rates from contracted works and a strong tender pipeline should support strong YoY growth (~10%) with an improved margin for safety. Valuation remains compelling with EPD trading on an FY17F EV/EBITDA multiple of 4.9x, which represents a 35% discount to the sector (FIG.1). Our applied valuation multiple includes a 20% discount to the sector and will be removed as EPD delivers improved performance. We upgrade our target price to $0.65 (prev. 0.55) and maintain our BUY recommendation.

 CHART IDEA OF THE DAY 

Infomedia (IFM) – Baillieu Holst Industrial Analyst Nicolas Burgess has BUY rating and $0.85 price target. Investment view: IFM has moved quickly to address bottlenecks in its sales and delivery capability. As these continue to unwind, it should see an improving growth outlook. Indeed, IFM expects its monthly recurring revenue growth to increase from 5% to 10%+ by June 2017. The Nissan contract win provides support to these growth expectations and validation of the Superservice product. Meanwhile, the company remains well capitalised with net cash of $14.7m at 30 June. We retain a BUY rating.

 FRIDAY’S BIOTECH IDEA OF THE DAY (HIGH RISK) 

PolyNovo (PNV) – Baillieu Holst Industrial Analyst Nick Caley has BUY rating and $0.60 price target. Investment view: BUY retained with DCF valuation of A$0.60 (prev. A$0.49) and price target of A$0.60 (prev. A$0.50). We have rolled forward to our FY17 valuation. The decision to go it alone in the US underlines PNV’s confidence in a successful commercialisation of the product which appears to be imminent. Our analysis continues to point to the competitive advantages of BTM in terms of functionality, cost effectiveness and absence of imported infections.

 MINI CAP GROWTH IDEA OF THE DAY (HIGH RISK)

Coal Outlook – Coal's recovery was one of the biggest surprises in commodities this year, but it's all poised to end as output rises from China, producer of half the world's supply. After half a decade of declines, European prices rebounded more than 80 per cent as China, also the world's biggest consumer of the fuel, boosted imports. Benchmark month-ahead contracts will fall by more than 25 per cent by the end of next year, according to the median in a Bloomberg survey of six analysts and traders. Just as Chinese policy limiting mining days kick-started the rally, a gradual boost in domestic output during autumn will accelerate a slide, according to analysts. Once seasonal winter demand in the northern hemisphere is over, China will need less imports at the same time as abundant output by other producers will keep a lid on prices from Australia to Antwerp. "The market is going to be determined by whatever the Chinese are going to do," said Thomas Pugh, a commodities economist at Capital Economics in London, who predicted a price of $US60 in the survey. "Everything else fades into the background." Forecasts ranged from $US57.50 to $US75 a ton, with the median at $US60. Month-ahead fuel for delivery to Amsterdam, Rotterdam or Antwerp was little changed at $US82.75 in Wednesday morning in London. Coal at Australia's Newcastle port, as well as front-month futures on China's Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, are up more than 70 per cent this year. AFR



Oil Outlook – Oil prices are set to recover next year as OPEC fulfils its agreement to cut output, halting the slump that battered the global oil industry, Saudi Arabia's energy minister said. The kingdom sees no need for additional production cuts on top of the curbs pledged in recent weeks by OPEC and 11 other oil-producing countries, Khalid AlFalih said at a ceremony to announce the annual budget in Riyadh. The intervention is intended only to "nudge along" the re-balancing of an oversupplied global oil market, he said. "I'm very optimistic that next year will see economic recovery and a recovery of oil markets," Al-Falih said. Prices, unsustainable at current levels, will also need to rise to encourage investment in the new supplies needed in coming years, he said. Crude will balance somewhere between $US50 and $US100 a barrel, he said. Investment in the world's oil industry has fallen for three consecutive years amid a slump in prices, leading to the lowest level of discoveries in five decades, according to the International Energy Agency. The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, working in concert with other producers such as Russia, has resolved to reduce output to clear a persisting oil glut and revive prices. "Markets worldwide are leaving a contraction period and a period of low oil prices and reduced investment in the sector," Al-Falih said. The minister anticipates that crude prices will increase "tangibly" in 2017, he said in an interview with Al Arabiya television. The kingdom expects its oil revenue to climb by 46 per cent to 480 billion riyals ($US128 billion) next year, the Finance Ministry said in a budget statement. Benchmark Brent crude traded at about $US55 a barrel in London on Thursday. Saudi Arabia is assuming that prices stay at $US55 next year and advance to $US61 in 2018, according to Al Arabiya. AFR



Uranium Outlook – President-elect Donald Trump said the US should enlarge its nuclear arsenal, an apparent reversal of a decades-long reduction of the nation's atomic weaponry that came hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin said his country's arsenal should also be strengthened. "The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to it senses regarding nukes," Trump said in a Twitter post. Putin said in a speech earlier on Thursday in Moscow that his country should also bolster its nuclear forces: "We need to enhance the combat capability of strategic nuclear forces, primarily by strengthening missile complexes that will be guaranteed to penetrate existing and future missile defence systems," he said. Global X Uranium ETF rose to a session high after Trump's comments while Uranium Resources, a Colorado-based mining company, climbed as much as 27 per cent before trimming gains. President Barack Obama has both reduced the US nuclear arsenal, in an agreement early in his presidency with Russia, and sought to modernise it to replace thousands of bombs and missiles. His modernisation plan - which the Arms Control Association said would cost as much as $US1 trillion over 30 years - has come under criticism from proponents of denuclearisation, who warn it may prompt a new arms race with Russia and China. More broadly, Trump has said he will seek to enlarge the US military, including by building dozens of new ships for the Navy, while controlling costs. AFR

Chinese Pollution and Iron Ore – Chinese steel and iron ore futures slumped more than 4 per cent on Thursday as a smog that engulfed northern cities of the country this week slowed trading activity. Iron ore for delivery to China's Qingdao port dropped $US3.04 or 3.8 per cent to $US76.15 a tonne on Thursday, according to Metal Bulletin, falling for a fifth straight day. The drop came despite some steel mills in the country receiving notices to resume sintering and blast furnace operations having returned to normal, Metal Bulletin said in a note. The smog has thinned in some parts including in the port city of Tianjin, but traders say many steel mills exercised caution on worries that air pollution may worsen again in the next few days. The most-active rebar on the Shanghai Futures Exchange closed down 4.2 per cent at 3026 yuan ($US436) a tonne. On the Dalian Commodity Exchange, iron ore dropped 4.4 per cent to end at 542.5 yuan a tonne. It fell as far as 541.50 yuan, its weakest since November 22. Both commodities have lost at least 15 per cent since hitting nearly three-year highs last week. They gained marginally on Wednesday after a fiveday slide. Some mills were starting to purchase iron ore again with the smog easing on Thursday, but they are still cautious about the weather, said a trader based in Tianjin. "If this weekend the smog returns then mills will stop or limit production again," he said. AFR

News Snippet: 

Seven West Media – The NSW Supreme Court has issued an injunction on a website naming and linking two high profile Seven West Media employees to the Tim Worner scandal. Justice Stephen Campbell said "the material is a flagrant and obvious case of defamation" when issuing the interlocutory injunction against the publication. The injunction will be in effect until the defamation case has been decided. However, if the plaintiffs take too long to bring on the case, the defendant may apply for dissolution. Seven West Media's lawyers, acting on behalf of the two highprofile employees, launched legal action against a website naming and linking them to the scandal. Amber Harrison, a former executive assistant at the network who had an affair with Mr Worner, alleged the chief executive had sexual relations with four other staff members, an allegation that Mr Worner has denied. Law firm Addisons sent letters to Fairfax Media, publisher of The Australian Financial Review, on behalf of the four women named by Ms Harrison and denied they had ever been involved in sexual or inappropriate activities with Mr Worner. The letters also threatened legal action if the women's names were made public. The defendant did not turn up to court on Friday morning after being served with regards to the matter. "The defendant has had a fair opportunity...he has chosen not to take that opportunity, " Justice Campbell said. The defendant been "deliberately defiant of the court's orders" he said, referring to court order on Wednesday. AFR



Shaver Shop – Share trading in personal grooming retailer Shaver Shop is under scrutiny after a significant share price slide in the lead-up to a sales downgrade. Shaver Shop chief executive Cameron Fox warned on Friday there had been weaker-than-expected sales in the past few weeks in "key gift giving product lines" while the closure of its Queensgate store in New Zealand after an earthquake had also reduced sales at the company. The downgrade and the spotlight on share trading in the past few days comes just six months after Shaver Shop listed on the Australian Securities Exchange after raising $98 million in a public float. The issue price of the shares had been $1.05, but by the close of trading on Thursday had been 82¢. The shares tumbled on Friday morning by more than 13 per cent to 71¢ as investors reacted harshly to the fall-off in sales. The biggest drop off in gift-giving products had occurred in the hair styling category for the retailer, which runs 100 stores across Australasia. Mr Fox said sales up until the end of November had been on track with its prospectus forecast and in line with previous guidance, but there had been weakness in December. This meant that Shaver Shop's forecast for retail sales for the month of December from its corporate stores was now likely to be between $26.5 million to $28 million, instead of the previous internal forecast of $29.5 million. The weakness in the hair styling category hadn't been able to offset strong sales in other segments such as men's electric shavers, long-term hair removal products and female beauty products. AFR



Tatts Group – Lotteries and wagering giant Tatts Group will reject the takeover offer from a Macquarie-led consortium and will retain its backing for Tabcorp's bid. Macquarie has a 10 per cent stake in the Pacific Consortium which includes private equity firm KKR (a 30 per cent stake), Morgan Stanley's infrastructure wing North Haven Infrastructure Partners (30 per cent) and local superannuation investor First State Super (30 per cent) – that pitched an offer for Tatts Group on December 14 worth $4.40 to $5 a share for Tatts. This compares with Tabcorp's November offer that valued Tatts at $4.34 a share. But Tatts said in statement on Friday that the Pacific bid "is predicated on a number of key assumptions that are either incorrect, inconsistent with Tatts' current expectations or unknown, and Tatts is unable to assess what impact, if any, these factors might have on the terms and conditions of the indicative proposal. "Even if the Pacific Consortium were to update its key assumptions with no consequential impact on its key terms and conditions, the Tatts board would still make the same determination given Tatts believes the total value offered is not superior to the proposed Tabcorp merger." The Pacific Consortium's plan was specifically aimed at getting Tatts' valuable lotteries business. The Consortium planned to float Tatts wagering business in a separate sharemarket vehicle, or sell it to a "strategic buyer". AFR

Banks, Forex and ASIC – Experienced market watchers should be used to it by now. The jocular tone, the slapdash spelling, the blatant manipulation of key market benchmarks. And yet there is something so brazen about seeing the chatroom logs of crooked traders revealed in an enforceable undertaking this week by NAB and CBA to settle an Australian Securities and Investments Commission investigation. Chat logs have proved fertile ground for regulators over the past few years with the indiscreet messages between traders forming the basis for trials over the rigging of the Libor rate in the UK. They will no doubt emerge again in the BBSW case which is set to begin in Australia in 2017 in what is shaping up to be a protracted and messy affair. The logs reveal foreign exchange traders at Commonwealth Bank of Australia and National Australia Bank manipulated rates with similar methods, albeit on what seems to be a smaller scale. For most of the time anyway. The Australian Financial Review understands that the clients affected by the trades still do not know what happened behind the scenes. It is likely that none of the clients who were ripped off or otherwise mistreated by the traders and were used as examples in the respective enforceable undertakings will ever know. CBAs EU states that ASIC will not reveal the identities of the individuals involved. Item 4.4 of NAB's EU is almost identical. AFR

BT Financial Group – BT Financial Group has come out swinging after the corporate regulator launched court proceedings alleging that the wealth manager failed to act in the best interest of its customers, with chief executive Brad Cooper saying that ASIC's interpretation of general advice would be a "bad policy outcome for Australians". Australian Securities and Regulation Authority filed Federal Court proceedings on Thursday alleging the superannuation arms of Westpac, Westpac Securities Administration and BT Funds Management provided personal financial product advice, advice that is not allowed under their Australian financial services licences. ASIC says during the campaigns, Westpac Securities Administration and BT provided advice on personal financial products, specifically recommending customers move out of their other superannuation funds into Westpac-related superannuation accounts. The proceedings will be an important test case for the wealth industry, according to Mr Cooper. "More and more we are finding people want to have a natural and practical conversation without having to pay for comprehensive personal advice," he said. AFR



Suncorp – Suncorp will review its systems and processes after the corporate watchdog asked it to pay $530,000 for failing to let almost 30,000 customers know about changes to their loan repayments. Brisbane-based Suncorp has agreed "to engage an external compliance consultant to review its processes and procedures," with the report to be handed to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The bank says it has completed its own review into processes relating to system generated letters. ASIC investigated Suncorp after the company itself reported a number of "internal errors" relating to consumer protection provisions between November 2015 and March 2016. "Suncorp failed to notify a large number of consumers of changes in the amount of their loan repayments and, in some cases, failed to advise the consumers of their first direct debit default," ASIC said in a statement. "As a result of these failures, consumers were not given the opportunity to prepare for a change in their repayment obligations or may not

have been aware that their direct debit payment had failed. Subsequently, some consumers were subject to collections activity, including telephone calls or letters from Suncorp's debt collections staff. ASIC has asked Suncorp to pay $270,000 in fines and the bank a remediation to customers of $260,000. Suncorp said it had apologised to its customers over the system failure. AFR Code

Diploma Group – The downturn in the Perth housing and construction market has claimed a high-profile victim with listed developer and builder Diploma Group collapsing owing creditors about $40 million. The 40-year-old company, which is controlled by the Di Latte family, appointed Matthew Donnelly, David Hodgson and Andrew Hewitt of Grant Thornton as administrators on Thursday. The appointments cover the ASX-listed Diploma Group and two of its subsidiaries, Diploma Construction (WA) and DGX Construction. Martin Jones and Andrew Smith of Ferrier Hodgson were appointed receivers on December 21. Mr Donnelly told The Australian Financial Review Diploma Group and its subsidiaries owed about $40 million to creditors, which include sub-contractors, the Australian Tax Office, AssetInsure (owned by insurance giant Swiss Re) and a mezzanine lender. "It would be easy to say all commercial builders in Perth have come under margin pressure and Diploma is no exception," said Mr Donnelly. "They also had some troubled projects, which put pressure on the group," he added. In September, Diploma Group reported that it was in dispute with a developer (TRG Properties) over a $40 million contract to build apartments at the Perry Lakes estate in Perth's Western Suburbs. The company also said at the time it was in contractual disputes with a number of subcontractors, which were the subject of legal proceedings. AFR



Stockland – Property giant Stockland is the frontrunner to acquire Marshall Baillieu's Minta Farm, the 286-hectare cropping property, which is soon to be rezoned as a massive $1 billion housing estate. While the deal, which could be worth between $150 million and $200 million has to be finalised, The Australian Financial Review understands Stockland has trumped a bid by Shanghai's aggressive land buyer Dahua to snap up the property in Berwick in Melbourne's south east growth corridor. Once rezoned to residential and business use under the draft Minta Farm Precinct Structure Plan, Minta Farm will effectively become a new Melbourne suburb able to accommodate up to 3000 dwellings and an employment precinct that could support about 10,000 jobs. Stockland declined to comment. A well-placed market insider said Stockland had "gone hard" to acquire Minta Farm. The Financial Review reported earlier in December that Stockland along with Lendlease, Satterley Property Group and MAB Corp were bidding to buy Minta Farm. Others understood to have participated in a confidential expressions of interest process run by the Baillieu family's Mutual Trust advisory firm include the Brown Property Group run by former Carlton football player Fraser Brown and the Pask Group, founded by BRW richlister Neville Pask.

Covata – Ted Pretty has been hired as chief executive of Covata, an ASX-listed company which has telecommunications company TPG Telecom as its largest shareholder. Covata's shares are trading at around 10¢ after having been as high as 44¢ in mid-February. The company's main focus is cloud-based data security services for mobile phone services and other networks. The appointment represents something of a homecoming for Mr Pretty, who was a high-profile executive for Telstra for eight years from 1997. He departed from Hills Ltd, the company best known as being the inventor of the Hills hoist clothesline, in May 2015 after an action-packed three years at the helm. Mr Pretty tried to transform the staid Adelaide company from an old-world manufacturer into a growth company in electronics, security systems and healthcare technology. Mr Pretty, who had a penchant for wearing black skivvies at Telstra at the height of the dot com boom in 1999 and 2000, also runs a private investment vehicle called Black Skivvy Ventures, which invests in new technology business models. He is also on the advisory board of the Lighthouse Accelerator based at Sydney's Barangaroo precinct which is fostering start-up businesses. In a statement to the ASX on Friday, Covata said Mr Pretty would start as CEO on January 23, 2017. He will replace existing chief executive Trent Telford, who will become chairman. Mr Pretty said he would also be investing in the company as well as running it. AFR

SHIELD – Sustainable High Yield Death of yield trade is overblown Last Update – 09th December 2016 Note: This report is a Quantitative Strategy product. The report uses consensus rating and forecast data from Thomson/IBES to get coverage of the whole market and avoid a house skew, and as such sometimes the highlighted themes, sectors and stocks will not match our analysts view. Macro Outlook: Global markets continue their positive momentum on-the-back of the strength of the recovery in the US and China, however stretched valuations are starting to weigh. The improving inflation outlook and US Fed rate hike expectations have driven the bond yields higher. An improving outlook for interest rates and strong commodity prices has driven a better yield outlook for the two major sectors of the Australian market. We continue to be positive on the premium to bond sustainable yield trade in an improving inflationary outlook. We expect the US Fed to be the only central bank to raise rates in 2017, while the rate of change will be slower than what the market is expecting. Cheap Picks: CWP and VLW are the low growth cheap yield picks from the SHIELD screen that have average earnings and cash flow per share growth of below 10%; an average of priceearnings and price-cash flow below 10x; a dividend yield above 5% and; a BUY rating. SHIELD Top 20 picks are: large cap – WBC, ANZ and TLS; small cap – IMF, MLD, VTG, OFX, VLW, AYS, RRL, CSV, NEC, PTM, HFA, TRS and WPP; and micro-cap – GNG, NCK, DTL and SDG.

GARY – Growth At Reasonable Yield Making macro risk great again Last Update – 13th December 2016 Note: This report is a Quantitative Strategy product. The report uses consensus rating and forecast data from Thomson/IBES to get coverage of the whole market and avoid a house skew, and as such sometimes the highlighted themes, sectors and stocks will not match our analysts view. Macro Outlook: Global markets are beginning to digest the stretched valuations, high yields and strong currency ahead of the US Fed meeting. The aggregate policy outlook from the new administration is expected to push up inflation and debt in the process of raising growth. The inflation rally since October has been running on better than expected US and China economic data, US Fed rate cycle expectations and potential fiscal stimulus in the US. The market will soon move from optimism to execution risk with a rising interest rate outlook. We have seen a rotation out of growth industrials and into financials and resources during the recent rally. As the growth benchmark rises with interest rates, we expect the market to return to small cap industrials as the large cap growth outlook is capped by weak economic growth. We expect to see a higher level of macro volatility in 2017 due to US/China growth and EU breakup risks. GARY (Growth At Reasonable Yield) screen allows us to pick stocks with strong yield, solid growth and cheap valuation multiples compared to the overall historical market trend. GARY Industrial picks are: small-cap (CWP, VLW, HFA, WPP, VTG, FXL, AJA, AYS and GDI); and micro-cap (AFG). GARY Resource and related picks are: None.
