      <image:caption>We believe that the most effective way to reduce information asymmetry is by producing data based on the optimal model - the efficient frontier, similar to modern portfolio theory. This implies that our provided insights are considered "efficient" only when they have the highest expected level of accuracy for their level of noise.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A 10-2 treasury spread that approaches 0 signifies a "flattening" yield curve. A negative 10-2 yield spread has historically been viewed as a precursor to a recessionary period. A negative 10-2 spread has predicted every recession from 1955 to 2018, but has occurred 6-24 months before the recession occurring, and is thus seen as a far-leading indicator. * *Source Department of the Treasury</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The US LEI fell again in February and continues to point to headwinds ahead,” said Justyna Zabinska-La Monica, Senior Manager, Business Cycle Indicators, at The Conference Board. “Consumers’ expectations of future business conditions turned more pessimistic. That was the component that weighed down most heavily on the Index in February. Manufacturing new orders, which improved in January, retreated and were the second largest negative contributor to the Index’s monthly decline.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The root cause of the SVB crisis can be traced back to the post-financial crisis era when credit pipes were rebuilt in ways that made the financial system safer but also opened up new gaps. Banks, unable to find profitable uses for the deposits they received, started investing more in government bonds and government-guaranteed mortgage issuance, which accelerated during the pandemic due to a surge in deposits from monetary policies. Some banks took on more duration than others, and those that miscalculated how likely they were to hold on to their deposits and moved out on the duration curve are now struggling and failing.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>According to Justyna Zabinska-La Monica, Senior Manager of Business Cycle Indicators at The Conference Board, the Leading Economic Index (LEI) for the US declined for the eleventh consecutive month in February. This was due to eight out of the ten components showing negative or flat contributions, despite improving stock prices and a better-than-expected reading for residential building permits. Although the rate of decline has slowed down in recent months, the LEI still suggests a risk of recession in the US economy. However, it's worth noting that the recent financial turmoil in the US banking sector is not reflected in the LEI data but could have a negative impact on the outlook if it persists. The Conference Board predicts that rising interest rates combined with declining consumer spending are likely to push the US economy into recession in the near future.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The market-based economy is efficient due to supply and demand determining capital allocation and consumption behaviors. Economic equilibrium is the state where market forces are balanced and prices stabilize. Prices indicate where the equilibrium is, and if prices are too high, demand decreases, while if prices are too low, demand increases. However, economic equilibrium is a theory because markets are dynamic, and the equilibrium is constantly evolving.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The US LEI continued rising in November, but its pace of improvement has been decelerating in recent months, suggesting a significant moderation in growth as the US economy heads into 2021,” said Ataman Ozyildirim, Senior Director of Economic Research at The Conference Board. “Initial claims for unemployment insurance, new orders for manufacturing, residential construction permits, and stock prices made the largest positive contributions to the LEI. However, falling average working hours in manufacturing and consumers’ worsening outlook underscore the downside risks to growth from a second wave of COVID-19 and high unemployment.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The U.S. Q2 GDP contracted by -32.9%, coming after a -5% drop in Q1 (annualized rates). This officially put the United States into the textbook definition of an economic recession--a period of temporary economic decline, during which trade and industrial activity are reduced, generally identified by a fall in GDP in two successive quarters.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>China reported a better than expected 2Q GDP growth rate last week. This makes China the first major economy to emerge from the COVID-19 disruption. GDP growth momentum will likely continue for the second half of 2020, given a risk-managed re-opening and strong export demand for electronic and medical products.</image:caption>
