Beyond the Credit Boom . . .
. . . A Multi-Decade Turning Point:
• A credit boom is a period characterised by the widespread availability of easy borrowing.
• Normally credit booms don’t last long as the extra inflationary pressures they create force up interest rates preventing over extended leverage. But this credit boom is different. It has been global in scale and has persisted for over 25 years.
• Credit booms distort markets. During credit booms asset prices tend to rise fast so they favour the speculative over the prudent.
• The present credit boom has been with us for so long that many investors have come to treat it as normal. However, as we move beyond the credit boom, investment trends are changing. We have reached a turning point.
• We believe there are advantages to being positioned for the new market trends beyond the credit boom.
