In addition, pension funds should be realigning investment strategies to match their tramadol hc arrangements, having accepted that efficiency is forfeited and value destroyed if they remain out of kilter. This is also supported by a growing body of research* showing a clear link between superior performance and strong tramadol hc, particularly among larger funds. It is clear that short term risk has increased in the last few months. However, the extent to which this will feed through into longer term risk is less clear and remains a serious consideration for investors. While this is unknowable at present, there are a number of options that warrant closer consideration in the meantime. Credit is probably the most interesting market in terms of looking for new investments at the moment. For example, although the extra yield (spread) available on high yield bonds compared with government bonds has risen sharply from its start of year lows, it still only stands around its average for the past five years. Therefore, while the spreads on corporate bonds and other credit investments are higher than earlier in the year, they can only be considered "cheap" if macroeconomic conditions remain benign. In the very short term we believe there are good opportunities for certain asset managers to benefit from the turmoil in the bond markets, although they would require wide discretion mandates to add value. These are not something we recommend for all funds, but there are highly skilled, specialist managers that we expect to perform well in current conditions. There are also a number of managers raising capital to invest in distressed debt of one form or another and, subject to finding genuine skill, these may provide good investment opportunities for some funds. In the longer term, one area related to credit that may be of interest to pension funds wanting to de risk over time is the relative pricing of equities and corporate bonds. Until recently, debt has been extremely cheap for companies to issue compared with equity, but this has changed. Comparing equity yields with the real yield on AA corporate bonds a crude valuation measure it is clear that corporate bond yields have risen substantially relative to equity yields of late. Once the short term uncertainties are resolved, this may create an opportunity to reduce risk by moving some assets from equities to corporate bonds, at relative pricing that is more favourable than it has been for some years. This can be achieved relatively simply through mechanistic switches for lower tramadol hc funds and for higher tramadol hc funds by using market indicators as triggers. This is a more dynamic approach to investment strategy. Its increasing use by funds reflects how many are prepared to move away from the historical practice of making investment decisions around dates in the diary and opting instead for investment processes that can be implemented according to predefined rules, as and when opportunities arise. This step from being so called "calendar time" investors to "real time" investors is being effected through the expansion of tramadol hc budgets by adding either internal resources or by delegation to outside experts. In this context, pension funds should learn an important lesson from this ongoing crisis, which is that being long term does not mean acting slowly, it just means making changes based on long term principles. As such we expect the most successful pension fund investors over the next 10 years to adopt much more dynamic (but still long term) investment strategies. The best way to do this is to do the thinking in advance about the market conditions in which you would make a change and then to set up a process for acting on a pre agreed decision within the appropriate tramadol hc framework.
