EXECUTIVE BRIEF
MARKET MESSAGE

FAILED ECONOMIC POLICY

It is clear to anyone who understands Monetary Policy that the current Keynesian approach of ZIRP/NIRP,
QE/QQE & LTRO/TLTRO is simply not working. We have global deflation pressures that cannot be overcome
by such policies. Policies that in fact are accelerating the deflationary pressures by creating oversupply due
to excessively cheapmoney and the malinvestments it allows.

Economic Growth has disconnected from the financial markets because the transmission mechanism is not
working and the incentives have shifted to Financial Engineering versus investment in productive assets.
