Market crashes follow a pattern: First, the market becomes too expensive
From P/B 2.1, the market usually has peaked within 15 months, then crashed. Peak was Sep 18

Then the global macro picture deteriorates

3% global GDP growth has usually given 0 earnings growth, just like now
Unless GDP growth improves, we must learn to live with flat earnings
8
And without earnings growth, markets look bound to stagnate
Earnings growth and market growth strongly correlated.

Analysts try to tell us earnings will rally in Q4. Don’t listen to them
However, the estimated flat earnings in the U.S. look achievable

World/USA
• Survive Q3 reporting season
• ‘Crash season’ over (Nov)
• Stabilization of world economy
• Time for interest rate cuts to work
• No escalation of trade war
• No hard Brexit
10
Macro has stabilized, and no major shocks to the market.
Still, we upgrade to Neutral on lower (but not low) crash risk
• 2019 scaringly similar to previous pre-crisis years» Even if U.S. job market has not caved in yet
• If the market crashes, it will crash this fall» All crashes happen in the fall» OSEBX Estimates set to come down sharply – 2020E 32-46% too high» Close to the edge on economic growth
• Rebound most likely (but risk/reward still not good)
» Crashes seldom occur, but are often feared» World economy is stabilizing or starting to recover(?)» Stocks only moderately expensive
Up to neutral in Nov/Dec unless further deterioration
Probably OK and rebound likely, but too high risk. Moderate underweight

Weak current investor sentiment feels better than he opposite
Although there is no historical correlation between sentiment and future return
16
The last bastion, the U.S. job market, is holding up well
Jobless claims has always increased before large, macro driven market declines
17
But we are still close to the edge, with low GDP growth and stretched valuations. What may tip us over the edge?
18
Weak profits should give lower investments
S&P 500 earnings are strong, but smaller companies are struggling. In sum, investment capacity is poor. Also, corporate gearing is high
19
Companies are delaying decision on policy uncertainty. Will they dare act now?
Higher uncertainty usually leads to investment delays
20
The recession idea has been planted in consumers’ heads. Will it affect them?In the 2008 crisis they were alerted Jan 2008, acted 6 months later. Too late to sell on the second wave

Global valuations are quite stretched both on long term earnings…Note: Different sources for MSCI AC world EPS give different P/Es in 2 charts

…and the evidence from Japan speaks against permanent repricing on low rates
• The world economy is at the end of a long up cycle and there is little spare capacity
• Global economic growth is weak
• Global and Norwegian valuation multiples are fairly high
• The OSEBX P/B is still high

A large proportion of asset managers has pledged to exit fossil fuels
1000 institutions with $8.8 tn in assets have pledged to cease new fossil investment, divest existing investments within 3-5 years and invest more in ‘climate solutions’. Abt 13% of MSCI World, will probably reach 20%. Only 3-4% has sold
» New York City: Decided to divest the $200bn pension fund from fossil fuels (Jan 18)
» University of California: Announced divestment of its $83bn endowment and pension funds from the fossil fuel industry (Sep 19)
» San Francisco Pension System ($25.5bn) will divest of five fossil fuel companies, probably followed by the rest if they don’t reduce oil and gas reserves and stop denying climate change
» Ireland: Euro 8bn national investment fund required to sell all investments in coal, oil, gas and peat «as soon as is practicable»
» University of Oslo: Foundation with MNOK 950 in assets announced to stop all investments in fossil fuel (Oct. 19)
» Impossible to find Norwegian Index Funds that track full indexes: All exclude some shares
» Fossil free funds have assets of more than USD 100bn
» Several banks will cease to finance coal or fossil (World Bank, HSBC, BNP Paribas, Axa). Nov 15: European investment Bank, from 2021

Low pricing of Energy required to make eligible investors 50% overweight on average
If 20% of funds become fossil free and 43% are indexed portfolios, remaining active managers must have a massive overweight position in energy of 9% vs. 6% in the index. That means valuation of fossil shares must be extremely attractive. But will all these investors really sell out?

For most other shares, little effect of ESG ratings till now
