The composite global manufacturing and services PMI recovered over 3Q 2020 to an average level of 51.9 after just 36.8 in 2Q during which the historic low of 26.2 was recorded in April, at the height of the global lockdowns1. Global monetary policy continued to remain highly supportive, a combination of near zero policy rates and ongoing quantitative easing. Of note, the Federal Reserve moved to adopt an average 1 inflation targeting framework at its September FOMC meeting, indicating that they would not raise interest rates until inflation had been higher than 2% “for some time”. At face value, it would seem that monetary policy tightening from the Federal Reserve is not likely over the next few years. Despite the explicit and committed support from monetary authorities, the sustainability of the global economic rebound is at risk from 2 sources: namely, signs of a rapidly developing 2nd wave of global COVID-19 infections, particularly in Europe, and the associated re-imposition of lockdown measures as well as premature withdrawal of fiscal stimulus. In the US, for example, the provisions of the CARES Act expired on 31st July against the backdrop of a still-historically weak labor market, placing millions of vulnerable families at risk. While Congress is debating a fresh fiscal stimulus package, and chances of a deal look good once the 3rd November Presidential election is out of the way, political jockeying ahead of the election has so far appeared to stymie the chances for a much needed near-term deal. The European Union meanwhile announced a fiscal stimulus package worth €750bn in late July to facilitate economic recovery in Europe where almost one-third of funds is allocated toward the ‘green’ economy2. From an investment, economic and social perspective, the outlook remains exceptionally challenging. Looking ahead, much will fundamentally depend on the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic itself. Consecutive infection waves combined with re-imposition of lockdown measures will hamper a sustained economic recovery until a proven vaccine is available. Until such time, politicians and policymakers will continue to grapple with profound social and economic trade-offs between literally saving lives, on the one hand, while trying to protect economic livelihoods, on the other, especially of low- to middle-income workers in face-to-face services sectors such as retail and hospitality who have borne the brunt of job losses. The full impact of the Covid-19 related tenant relief on rental income and REIT balance sheets is in the process of working through the system. A positive is that we will see very low levels of capital investment and development activity which curtails new supply and creates an improving environment for existing property owners over the medium to longer term. It is important to remember that property valuations are based on the long term cash flows that will be generated by the property and the disruption caused by this pandemic is of a short term nature. REITS exposed to the Retail and Office sectors have been impacted more severely while tenants of Logistics and Datacenter REITS have actually benefitted from increased online sales and data usage. Healthcare REITS with exposure to research and development facilities are also benefitting from increased demand for space. The Oasis Crescent Global Property Equity Fund is well positioned due to its focus on REITS with positive secular demand drivers, strong management teams and superior balance sheets. With 51% of the portfolio (excluding cash and liquid holdings) being exposed to logistics, industrial and data center REITS with strong positive secular demand drivers and only 8% exposure to Retail REITS, the Fund is appropriately positioned3. The Fund displays very attractive valuation characteristics with an average cash flow yield of 7.3% and dividend yield of 4.9% which offers a lot of value relative to the average bond yield of 1.0% and average inflation at 0.9%4. 1 - Bloomberg economic statistics, Oasis Research - 2 - IMF, Policy Responses to COVID-19. https://www.imf.org/en/Topics/imf-and-covid19/Policy-Responses-to-COVID-19 - 3 - Oasis Research, Sep 2020 - 4 - Oasis Research, Sep 2020 Contact us : Oasis Global Management Company (Ireland) Ltd.
