Editorial:

The first stage of government intervention in what is likely to be a long haul out of the post-Lehman crisis is drawing to a close. The challenge going forward will be to see if the eye-watering stimulus packages applied to world economies have real durability, or whether – as soon as policy makers start to reverse these programs – we slip back, Japanese-style, into near-zero deflationary growth. These worries are driving investors into government bond markets, and condemning equities to a frustrating market trading range, regardless of the quality of earnings they produce. Our response is be cautious on higher risk investments for a while longer, and to be patient, but also to sit back, and enjoy the unusually strong cash flow and dividend growth of our cash-rich "Nifty Fifty" which remain at the heart of our equity and balanced portfolios.
