By providing our clients with broad based commentary regarding the corporate, ABS, MBS and CDS credit markets and their interaction with equities and even the broader economy, we were able to highlight trading and arbitrage opportunities within the equity and fixed income markets. This approach led us to be bearish through the end of February 2009.
More recently, we have highlighted how positive developments in the corporate credit and structured credit markets should bolster equity market valuations and reduce the sharpness of equity market sell-offs over the next year. These improvements provided the motive force behind our most recent thoughts on opportunities in the equity and credit markets.
