In early January, several of the world’s largest and most important stock indexes were at all-time highs, and global bond markets held more than 10 trillion dollars worth of low-risk bonds that investors were willing to pay to hold.\n\nJust one year earlier, the volume of bonds with a negative annual yield was even larger at 18 trillion dollars. Although inflation rates had been on an upward trend throughout 2021, central banks insisted this was temporary: several of them continued to buy up bonds and pump money into circulation until mid-2022.\n\nThe value of the S&P 500 index, which tracks the world’s largest and most important stock market, fell by around 20% last year, despite a mere 5% decline in corporate profits. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of the index was 27 times the earnings for the past 12 months in early 2022 but dropped to 19 by the end of the year.\n\nAlthough, at the start of 2022, the US stock market was overvalued in terms of almost every historical standard, stocks still looked cheap relative to the bond market, where the ten-year US government bond offered an annual yield of 1.63%.\n\nIn early 2022, the US Federal Reserve offered an interest rate of 0.25% on overnight deposits. Over the next 12 months, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates seven times to an eventual 4.5%.\n\n**The adjustment may not be over**\n\nThe interest rate is the price of money. When the price of money was close to zero, all assets, regardless of quality, appeared cheap. Over the past year, interest rates rose significantly, meaning that money once again had a price.\n\nWhile just a year ago, due to negative interest rates, 100 euros in your wallet was worth less than a 100 euro note you would receive in 10 years (yes, absurd!) then, with the reversal of interest rates, we returned to a world where the 100 euros in your bank account today is worth more than a 100 euro note you would receive in ten years. At a 4% price of money, the current value of a future 100 euros 10 years from now is a little less than 68 euros.\n\nA rise in interest rates has a negative impact on asset prices, as the value of future profits and rents falls. Furthermore, why risk buying shares in a company that only offers a 1.5% dividend when essentially risk-free government bonds offer an annual yield of 4%?\n\nI suspect that if interest rates rise further, the values of ventures and projects with higher risks and longer time horizons may fall further.\n\nIn 2022, bond markets fell even more than stock markets, which leaves unanswered the question of whether bond markets overreacted or whether stocks still have room to fall. Bonds are generally lower-risk investments than stocks.\n\nThirty-year US government bonds lost more than half their value to rising interest rates last year. It is true that after 30 years, the investors will get their entire investment back, but the value of the bond that will be redeemed after 30 years is currently only half of that. While there is a direct mathematical relationship between the bond price and the interest rate, expectations about companies’ future profits also come into play in the case of stock prices.\n\nThe price level of stocks depends not only on interest rates but also on the financial performance of companies. Companies’ profit ratios decreased significantly last year, but still remain somewhat above the historical average. The financial performance of companies was stronger than expected last year, even despite the accelerating rate of inflation, rising interest rates, and disruptions in supply chains. If the growth of the largest economies were to turn negative in 2023 and corporate profits fall, this would put stock markets under new pressure.\n\nHowever, this does not mean that all companies would face equal difficulties. I believe that, in the coming years, a company’s debt load and the ease or difficulty of refinancing existing debts or attracting new capital will count more than the sector in which it operates.\n\nFor the past 20 years, and especially during the past ten, interest rates have been historically very low. In July 2012, the European Central Bank lowered the interest rate on its standing deposit facility to zero, and in June 2014 it went negative for the first time. This meant that commercial banks had to start paying for depositing their funds in the central bank. The US Federal Reserve refrained from setting negative interest rates but kept them close to zero for a long time.\n\nNow that the US Federal Reserve pays banks 4.25% for their deposits and the European Central Bank pays 2%, interest rates have merely normalised. Those who hope and expect a return to the monetary policy regime of a few years ago, where the price of money was essentially 0%, are likely to be disappointed. You can find a 200-year history of US dollar interest rates [here](https://advisor.visualcapitalist.com/us-interest-rates/).\n\n**The economy is cyclical**\n\nFor years, I have noted the absurdity of the monetary policy of developed countries. It is necessary to support the economy during a crisis, but more than ten years of continuous support can develop into a dangerous addiction.\n\nIn a recent interview, Jeffrey Gundlach, who was crowned the king of the bond markets after Bill Gross, compared a 0% monetary policy to an adrenaline injection: it is necessary in a life-threatening situation, but it is neither healthy nor reasonable to have an adrenaline shot every morning.\n\nLHV pension funds pursue a very long-term investment strategy. We have always considered the possibility that the economy and securities markets are cyclical, and that both interest rates and stock market ratios fluctuate around their historical averages. The investment portfolios of our pension funds have been designed based on this knowledge.\n\nOwing to conservative investment strategy, we did not make a maximum gain on the phenomenal rise of the stock markets in 2021, when the world’s largest economies were almost locked down, while the policy of zero interest rates and the generosity of governments boosted the value of all companies and projects. But thanks to our conservative investment strategy, we also managed to avoid investing in companies with a high debt burden, whose value was based on nothing but lofty promises and who have been in free fall over the past year.\n\n<br>\n\nPS!\n\nIn an earlier newsletter, I wrote about the growing importance of stories and narratives, which have even surpassed the ability of companies in certain lines of business to offer real products and services. Several speculative bubbles burst last year. Some were caused by the greed and naivety of the investors themselves, while others were deliberately and maliciously created illusions. The lawsuit between the scandalous medical diagnostics startup Theranos and its founder Elizabeth Holmes was settled last year.\n\nI would like to hope that the events of the past year point to the importance of independent critical thinking, and that we, as citizens and investors, will be better able to tell between illusions and reality in the future.\n\nBy the way, Merriam Webster, the oldest publisher of dictionaries and reference books in the United States, chose _[gaslighting](https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/word-of-the-year?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Insider%20Today%2C%20December%201%2C%202022&utm_term=INSIDER%20TODAY%20SEND%20LIST)_ as the word of the year for 2022.

The Adoro company in BaltCap Private Equity Fund III is acquiring the social welfare centre Dzīves Ābece in Latvia. The centre was established in 2018 and currently has 97 beds.

Measured in euros, the MSCI World index rose by 2.7% and the US S&P 500 index by 1%, but the Nasdaq Composite index, which tracks the US technology sector, remained almost at the same level as in October, measured in euros. Japan’s Nikkei index rose by 3.6% in euros in November.\n\nWe experienced strong growth in European stock exchanges in November, when the Euro Stoxx 50 index rose by 9.7%. The same trend persisted in emerging markets: the MSCI Emerging Markets index rose by 9.9% measured in euros. While trends in the Baltic stock markets are often mixed, this month the Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius markets moved in the same direction and rose by 5.3%, 5% and 4.7% respectively.\n\nIn November, two Estonian private and venture capital funds sold one investment each. A private equity fund led by Livonia Partners announced selling the window manufacturer Fenestra to Trigon Capital. Livonia invested in Fenestra in 2019, and after its sale, five more companies remain in the fund’s portfolio. Also, the local private equity company BaltCap announced that the BaltCap Latvia Venture Capital Fund, which they manage, was selling the digital medical services provider Blue Bridge Technologies. The company was founded in 2007 and BaltCap invested in it six years later. Blue Bridge Technologies was sold in its entirety to the software investor Everfield.\n\nLast month was positive for the fund’s stock investments. Shares of gold mining companies, the value of which increased by 4–14%, contributed the most to the increase in the price of the fund’s unit. We saw a decline in energy stocks, where we also locked in gains from this year’s rise during the month.\n\nThe fund’s key positions on the stock markets remain primarily in investments related to mineral resources. In November, we reduced our funds’ equity investments in US energy companies to create liquidity for new purchases. We look forward to putting money back into better priced stocks during a more nervous market phase.\n\nAs the most significant news from the companies in the fund’s bond portfolio, Coop Bank raised a large amount of funds through the stock exchange. Strengthening bank reserves before an economic downturn is a very good idea from our fund’s point of view. LHV funds have financed Coop’s growth over the years with various bonds. As the latest investment last summer, we subscribed to long-term securities with 10% annual interest. The current securities issue is subordinated to our bonds and thus further increases the value of the bonds in the fund.\n"},{"year":2022,"month":10,"content":"### October 2022: Stock markets recovered from the decline\n\nKristo Oidermaa and Romet Enok, Fund Managers\n\nIn October, world markets recovered.

However, emerging markets moved in the opposite direction: the MSCI Emerging Markets index fell by 4.1% in October. Compared to world stock markets, the Baltic stock exchanges remained relatively neutral: during the month, the Tallinn and Riga stock exchanges fell by 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively, and the Vilnius stock exchange rose by 1%.\n\nIn October, the private equity firm BaltCap announced that its managed fund, BaltCap Private Equity Fund III, will buy Estonia’s largest bookseller Rahva Raamat and merge it with the Lithuanian publishing and trading company Alma Littera, which it acquired in September. Rahva Raamat has a comprehensive e-shop and 12 brick-and-mortar stores in eight Estonian cities.\n\nFollowing the bond market price drop in recent months, we acquired a new larger position for the fund. The bonds of one of Europe’s most important banks, the French BNP Paribas, offer an annual return of more than 6% at our purchase level.\n\nAt the same time, we signed a bond investment agreement with an Estonian company, as Dimedium Grupp raised money from the funds to buy out some of the company’s previous owners. The loan is for three years, with an annual interest of 10%, to which an additional payment will be added at redemption.\n\nInterest rates have risen sharply, and as a result, international bonds offer increasingly strong competition to domestic transactions. We are actively seeking opportunities in both areas.\n"}]},{"id":"market","title":"Market overview","content":[{"type":"singlearticle","column":"center","picture":"/pension/viisemann-turuylevaade.png","title":"**The rising price of money led to a decline in asset prices**\n*Andres Viisemann, Head of LHV Pension Funds*\n","preview":"The year 2022 was pivotal for securities markets. In early January, several of the world’s largest and most important stock indexes were at all-time highs, and global bond markets held more than 10 trillion dollars worth of low-risk bonds that investors were willing to pay to hold.\n","text":"The year 2022 was pivotal for securities markets. In early January, several of the world’s largest and most important stock indexes were at all-time highs, and global bond markets held more than 10 trillion dollars worth of low-risk bonds that investors were willing to pay to hold.\n\nJust one year earlier, the volume of bonds with a negative annual yield was even larger at 18 trillion dollars. Although inflation rates had been on an upward trend throughout 2021, central banks insisted this was temporary: several of them continued to buy up bonds and pump money into circulation until mid-2022.\n\nThe value of the S&P 500 index, which tracks the world’s largest and most important stock market, fell by around 20% last year, despite a mere 5% decline in corporate profits. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of the index was 27 times the earnings for the past 12 months in early 2022 but dropped to 19 by the end of the year.\n\nAlthough, at the start of 2022, the US stock market was overvalued in terms of almost every historical standard, stocks still looked cheap relative to the bond market, where the ten-year US government bond offered an annual yield of 1.63%.\n\nIn early 2022, the US Federal Reserve offered an interest rate of 0.25% on overnight deposits. Over the next 12 months, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates seven times to an eventual 4.5%.\n\n**The adjustment may not be over**\n\nThe interest rate is the price of money. When the price of money was close to zero, all assets, regardless of quality, appeared cheap. Over the past year, interest rates rose significantly, meaning that money once again had a price.\n\nWhile just a year ago, due to negative interest rates, 100 euros in your wallet was worth less than a 100 euro note you would receive in 10 years (yes, absurd!) then, with the reversal of interest rates, we returned to a world where the 100 euros in your bank account today is worth more than a 100 euro note you would receive in ten years. At a 4% price of money, the current value of a future 100 euros 10 years from now is a little less than 68 euros.\n\nA rise in interest rates has a negative impact on asset prices, as the value of future profits and rents falls. Furthermore, why risk buying shares in a company that only offers a 1.5% dividend when essentially risk-free government bonds offer an annual yield of 4%?\n\nI suspect that if interest rates rise further, the values of ventures and projects with higher risks and longer time horizons may fall further.\n\nIn 2022, bond markets fell even more than stock markets, which leaves unanswered the question of whether bond markets overreacted or whether stocks still have room to fall. Bonds are generally lower-risk investments than stocks.\n\nThirty-year US government bonds lost more than half their value to rising interest rates last year. It is true that after 30 years, the investors will get their entire investment back, but the value of the bond that will be redeemed after 30 years is currently only half of that. While there is a direct mathematical relationship between the bond price and the interest rate, expectations about companies’ future profits also come into play in the case of stock prices.\n\nThe price level of stocks depends not only on interest rates but also on the financial performance of companies. Companies’ profit ratios decreased significantly last year, but still remain somewhat above the historical average. The financial performance of companies was stronger than expected last year, even despite the accelerating rate of inflation, rising interest rates, and disruptions in supply chains. If the growth of the largest economies were to turn negative in 2023 and corporate profits fall, this would put stock markets under new pressure.\n\nHowever, this does not mean that all companies would face equal difficulties. I believe that, in the coming years, a company’s debt load and the ease or difficulty of refinancing existing debts or attracting new capital will count more than the sector in which it operates.\n\nFor the past 20 years, and especially during the past ten, interest rates have been historically very low. In July 2012, the European Central Bank lowered the interest rate on its standing deposit facility to zero, and in June 2014 it went negative for the first time. This meant that commercial banks had to start paying for depositing their funds in the central bank. The US Federal Reserve refrained from setting negative interest rates but kept them close to zero for a long time.\n\nNow that the US Federal Reserve pays banks 4.25% for their deposits and the European Central Bank pays 2%, interest rates have merely normalised. Those who hope and expect a return to the monetary policy regime of a few years ago, where the price of money was essentially 0%, are likely to be disappointed. You can find a 200-year history of US dollar interest rates [here](https://advisor.visualcapitalist.com/us-interest-rates/).\n\n**The economy is cyclical**\n\nFor years, I have noted the absurdity of the monetary policy of developed countries. It is necessary to support the economy during a crisis, but more than ten years of continuous support can develop into a dangerous addiction.\n\nIn a recent interview, Jeffrey Gundlach, who was crowned the king of the bond markets after Bill Gross, compared a 0% monetary policy to an adrenaline injection: it is necessary in a life-threatening situation, but it is neither healthy nor reasonable to have an adrenaline shot every morning.\n\nLHV pension funds pursue a very long-term investment strategy. We have always considered the possibility that the economy and securities markets are cyclical, and that both interest rates and stock market ratios fluctuate around their historical averages. The investment portfolios of our pension funds have been designed based on this knowledge.\n\nOwing to conservative investment strategy, we did not make a maximum gain on the phenomenal rise of the stock markets in 2021, when the world’s largest economies were almost locked down, while the policy of zero interest rates and the generosity of governments boosted the value of all companies and projects.

Measured in euros, the MSCI World index rose by 2.7% and the US S&P 500 index by 1%, but the Nasdaq Composite index, which tracks the US technology sector, remained almost at the same level as in October, measured in euros. Japan’s Nikkei index rose by 3.6% in euros in November.\n\nWe experienced strong growth in European stock exchanges in November, when the Euro Stoxx 50 index rose by 9.7%. The same trend persisted in emerging markets: the MSCI Emerging Markets index rose by 9.9% measured in euros. While trends in the Baltic stock markets are often mixed, this month the Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius markets moved in the same direction and rose by 5.3%, 5% and 4.7% respectively.\n\nIn November, two Estonian private and venture capital funds sold one investment each. A private equity fund led by Livonia Partners announced selling the window manufacturer Fenestra to Trigon Capital. Livonia invested in Fenestra in 2019, and after its sale, five more companies remain in the fund’s portfolio. Also, the local private equity company BaltCap announced that the BaltCap Latvia Venture Capital Fund, which they manage, was selling the digital medical services provider Blue Bridge Technologies. The company was founded in 2007 and BaltCap invested in it six years later. Blue Bridge Technologies was sold in its entirety to the software investor Everfield.\n\nNovember was positive for the fund’s stock investments. The value of copper-related stocks rose the most, as they went up 20% as a response to the expected change in China’s Covid-19 policy. Among other investments, the share prices of gold mining companies increased to a greater extent. We saw a decline in energy stocks, where we also locked in gains from this year’s rise during the month.\n\nThe fund’s key positions on the stock markets remain primarily in investments related to mineral resources. In November, we reduced our funds’ equity investments in US energy companies to create liquidity for new purchases. We look forward to putting money back into better priced stocks during a more nervous market phase.\n\nAs the most significant news from the companies in the fund’s bond portfolio, Coop Bank raised a large amount of funds through the stock exchange. Strengthening bank reserves before an economic downturn is a very good idea from our fund’s point of view. LHV funds have financed Coop’s growth over the years with various bonds. As the latest investment last summer, we subscribed to long-term securities with 10% annual interest. The current securities issue is subordinated to our bonds and thus further increases the value of the bonds in the fund.\n"},{"year":2022,"month":10,"content":"### October 2022: We added a new over-the-counter investment to our portfolio\n\nKristo Oidermaa and Romet Enok, Fund Managers\n\nIn October, world markets recovered. The MSCI World Index, the US S&P 500, the Japanese Nikkei Index, and the European Euro Stoxx 50 rose 6.2%, 6.9%, 2.5% and 9.1% in euros, respectively. However, emerging markets moved in the opposite direction: the MSCI Emerging Markets index fell by 4.1% in October. Compared to world stock markets, the Baltic stock exchanges remained relatively neutral: during the month, the Tallinn and Riga stock exchanges fell by 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively, and the Vilnius stock exchange rose by 1%.\n\nWe added the new local venture capital fund Superangel Two, led by experienced startup investors Veljo Otsason and Marko Oolo, as a new OTC investment in our pension fund. We have also used the pension fund to invest in Superangel One, the predecessor of Superangel Two. Superangel One’s portfolio includes well-known startups, such as Bolt, Veriff, Montonio, Salv, Starship and Parcelsea. Superangel Two continues to implement the previous fund’s strategy by investing in early-stage start-ups operating mainly in Estonia.\n\nIn October, the private equity firm BaltCap announced that its managed fund, BaltCap Private Equity Fund III, will buy Estonia’s largest bookseller Rahva Raamat and merge it with the Lithuanian publishing and trading company Alma Littera, which it acquired in September. Rahva Raamat has a comprehensive e-shop and 12 brick-and-mortar stores in eight Estonian cities.\n\nIn the same month, encouraging quarterly results supported the fund’s listed equity investments. Among European investments, bank shares saw the most success, as the financial results of this sector are improved by rising interest income. Among US investments, shares of Valaris and Freeport McMoran, related to mineral resources, rose the most. Most of the fund’s share positions are related to mineral resources and companies that process them, which in many cases are earning record profits in the context of high commodity prices.\n\nAt the same time, we signed a bond investment agreement with an Estonian company, as Dimedium Grupp raised money from the funds to buy out some of the company’s previous owners. The loan is for three years, with an annual interest of 10%, to which an additional payment will be added at redemption.\n\nInterest rates have risen sharply, and as a result, international bonds offer increasingly strong competition to domestic transactions. We are actively seeking opportunities in both areas.\n"}]},{"id":"market","title":"Market overview","content":[{"type":"singlearticle","column":"center","picture":"/pension/viisemann-turuylevaade.png","title":"**The rising price of money led to a decline in asset prices**\n*Andres Viisemann, Head of LHV Pension Funds*\n","preview":"The year 2022 was pivotal for securities markets.

In early January, several of the world’s largest and most important stock indexes were at all-time highs, and global bond markets held more than 10 trillion dollars worth of low-risk bonds that investors were willing to pay to hold.\n\nJust one year earlier, the volume of bonds with a negative annual yield was even larger at 18 trillion dollars. Although inflation rates had been on an upward trend throughout 2021, central banks insisted this was temporary: several of them continued to buy up bonds and pump money into circulation until mid-2022.\n\nThe value of the S&P 500 index, which tracks the world’s largest and most important stock market, fell by around 20% last year, despite a mere 5% decline in corporate profits. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of the index was 27 times the earnings for the past 12 months in early 2022 but dropped to 19 by the end of the year.\n\nAlthough, at the start of 2022, the US stock market was overvalued in terms of almost every historical standard, stocks still looked cheap relative to the bond market, where the ten-year US government bond offered an annual yield of 1.63%.\n\nIn early 2022, the US Federal Reserve offered an interest rate of 0.25% on overnight deposits. Over the next 12 months, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates seven times to an eventual 4.5%.\n\n**The adjustment may not be over**\n\nThe interest rate is the price of money. When the price of money was close to zero, all assets, regardless of quality, appeared cheap. Over the past year, interest rates rose significantly, meaning that money once again had a price.\n\nWhile just a year ago, due to negative interest rates, 100 euros in your wallet was worth less than a 100 euro note you would receive in 10 years (yes, absurd!) then, with the reversal of interest rates, we returned to a world where the 100 euros in your bank account today is worth more than a 100 euro note you would receive in ten years. At a 4% price of money, the current value of a future 100 euros 10 years from now is a little less than 68 euros.\n\nA rise in interest rates has a negative impact on asset prices, as the value of future profits and rents falls. Furthermore, why risk buying shares in a company that only offers a 1.5% dividend when essentially risk-free government bonds offer an annual yield of 4%?\n\nI suspect that if interest rates rise further, the values of ventures and projects with higher risks and longer time horizons may fall further.\n\nIn 2022, bond markets fell even more than stock markets, which leaves unanswered the question of whether bond markets overreacted or whether stocks still have room to fall. Bonds are generally lower-risk investments than stocks.\n\nThirty-year US government bonds lost more than half their value to rising interest rates last year. It is true that after 30 years, the investors will get their entire investment back, but the value of the bond that will be redeemed after 30 years is currently only half of that. While there is a direct mathematical relationship between the bond price and the interest rate, expectations about companies’ future profits also come into play in the case of stock prices.\n\nThe price level of stocks depends not only on interest rates but also on the financial performance of companies. Companies’ profit ratios decreased significantly last year, but still remain somewhat above the historical average. The financial performance of companies was stronger than expected last year, even despite the accelerating rate of inflation, rising interest rates, and disruptions in supply chains. If the growth of the largest economies were to turn negative in 2023 and corporate profits fall, this would put stock markets under new pressure.\n\nHowever, this does not mean that all companies would face equal difficulties. I believe that, in the coming years, a company’s debt load and the ease or difficulty of refinancing existing debts or attracting new capital will count more than the sector in which it operates.\n\nFor the past 20 years, and especially during the past ten, interest rates have been historically very low. In July 2012, the European Central Bank lowered the interest rate on its standing deposit facility to zero, and in June 2014 it went negative for the first time. This meant that commercial banks had to start paying for depositing their funds in the central bank. The US Federal Reserve refrained from setting negative interest rates but kept them close to zero for a long time.\n\nNow that the US Federal Reserve pays banks 4.25% for their deposits and the European Central Bank pays 2%, interest rates have merely normalised. Those who hope and expect a return to the monetary policy regime of a few years ago, where the price of money was essentially 0%, are likely to be disappointed. You can find a 200-year history of US dollar interest rates [here](https://advisor.visualcapitalist.com/us-interest-rates/).\n\n**The economy is cyclical**\n\nFor years, I have noted the absurdity of the monetary policy of developed countries. It is necessary to support the economy during a crisis, but more than ten years of continuous support can develop into a dangerous addiction.\n\nIn a recent interview, Jeffrey Gundlach, who was crowned the king of the bond markets after Bill Gross, compared a 0% monetary policy to an adrenaline injection: it is necessary in a life-threatening situation, but it is neither healthy nor reasonable to have an adrenaline shot every morning.\n\nLHV pension funds pursue a very long-term investment strategy. We have always considered the possibility that the economy and securities markets are cyclical, and that both interest rates and stock market ratios fluctuate around their historical averages. The investment portfolios of our pension funds have been designed based on this knowledge.\n\nOwing to conservative investment strategy, we did not make a maximum gain on the phenomenal rise of the stock markets in 2021, when the world’s largest economies were almost locked down, while the policy of zero interest rates and the generosity of governments boosted the value of all companies and projects. But thanks to our conservative investment strategy, we also managed to avoid investing in companies with a high debt burden, whose value was based on nothing but lofty promises and who have been in free fall over the past year.\n\n<br>\n\nPS!\n\nIn an earlier newsletter, I wrote about the growing importance of stories and narratives, which have even surpassed the ability of companies in certain lines of business to offer real products and services. Several speculative bubbles burst last year. Some were caused by the greed and naivety of the investors themselves, while others were deliberately and maliciously created illusions. The lawsuit between the scandalous medical diagnostics startup Theranos and its founder Elizabeth Holmes was settled last year.\n\nI would like to hope that the events of the past year point to the importance of independent critical thinking, and that we, as citizens and investors, will be better able to tell between illusions and reality in the future.\n\nBy the way, Merriam Webster, the oldest publisher of dictionaries and reference books in the United States, chose _[gaslighting](https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/word-of-the-year?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Insider%20Today%2C%20December%201%2C%202022&utm_term=INSIDER%20TODAY%20SEND%20LIST)_ as the word of the year for 2022.

But thanks to our conservative investment strategy, we also managed to avoid investing in companies with a high debt burden, whose value was based on nothing but lofty promises and who have been in free fall over the past year.\n\n<br>\n\nPS!\n\nIn an earlier newsletter, I wrote about the growing importance of stories and narratives, which have even surpassed the ability of companies in certain lines of business to offer real products and services. Several speculative bubbles burst last year. Some were caused by the greed and naivety of the investors themselves, while others were deliberately and maliciously created illusions. The lawsuit between the scandalous medical diagnostics startup Theranos and its founder Elizabeth Holmes was settled last year.\n\nI would like to hope that the events of the past year point to the importance of independent critical thinking, and that we, as citizens and investors, will be better able to tell between illusions and reality in the future.\n\nBy the way, Merriam Webster, the oldest publisher of dictionaries and reference books in the United States, chose _[gaslighting](https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/word-of-the-year?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Insider%20Today%2C%20December%201%2C%202022&utm_term=INSIDER%20TODAY%20SEND%20LIST)_ as the word of the year for 2022. It means creating a false narrative that causes a victim of fraud to question the validity of their own thoughts.\n"}]}],"strategyKey":"mittekonservatiivne","isin":"EE3600019766","strategyType":"Non-conservative","managementStyle":"Active","riskLevel":4,"countryShareEe":23.28,"fundManager":"LHV"},"LIK75":{"heading":"LHV Pensionifond Indeks","id":"indeks","code":"lik","dataMarker":"LIK75","suitability":"**Suitable if**\n- you want to invest in financial markets on a continuous basis,\n- you wish to grow your pension pillar at the lowest possible costs,\n- you have prior personal investment experience.\n","isLhvFund":true,"strategy":"**Strategy**\n\nThe fund invests all of its assets in equity index-following investment funds and the fund manager does not actively change the fund’s risk level.

Japan’s Nikkei index rose by 3.6% in euros in November.\n\nWe experienced strong growth in European stock exchanges in November, when the Euro Stoxx 50 index rose by 9.7%. The same trend persisted in emerging markets: the MSCI Emerging Markets index rose by 9.9% measured in euros. While trends in the Baltic stock markets are often mixed, this month the Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius markets moved in the same direction and rose by 5.3%, 5% and 4.7% respectively.\n\nThe local private equity company BaltCap announced that the BaltCap Latvia Venture Capital Fund, which they manage, was selling the digital medical services provider Blue Bridge Technologies. The company was founded in 2007 and BaltCap invested in it six years later. Blue Bridge Technologies was sold in its entirety to the software investor Everfield.\n\nNovember was positive for the fund’s stock investments. The value of copper-related stocks rose the most, as they went up 20% as a response to the expected change in China’s Covid-19 policy. Among other investments, the share prices of gold mining companies increased to a greater extent. We saw a decline in energy stocks, where we also locked in gains from this year’s rise during the month.\n\nThe fund’s key positions on the stock markets remain primarily in investments related to mineral resources.

Among European investments, bank shares saw the most success, as the financial results of this sector are improved by rising interest income. Among US investments, shares of Valaris and Freeport McMoran, related to mineral resources, rose the most.

In early January, several of the world’s largest and most important stock indexes were at all-time highs, and global bond markets held more than 10 trillion dollars worth of low-risk bonds that investors were willing to pay to hold.\n","text":"The year 2022 was pivotal for securities markets. In early January, several of the world’s largest and most important stock indexes were at all-time highs, and global bond markets held more than 10 trillion dollars worth of low-risk bonds that investors were willing to pay to hold.\n\nJust one year earlier, the volume of bonds with a negative annual yield was even larger at 18 trillion dollars. Although inflation rates had been on an upward trend throughout 2021, central banks insisted this was temporary: several of them continued to buy up bonds and pump money into circulation until mid-2022.\n\nThe value of the S&P 500 index, which tracks the world’s largest and most important stock market, fell by around 20% last year, despite a mere 5% decline in corporate profits. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of the index was 27 times the earnings for the past 12 months in early 2022 but dropped to 19 by the end of the year.\n\nAlthough, at the start of 2022, the US stock market was overvalued in terms of almost every historical standard, stocks still looked cheap relative to the bond market, where the ten-year US government bond offered an annual yield of 1.63%.\n\nIn early 2022, the US Federal Reserve offered an interest rate of 0.25% on overnight deposits. Over the next 12 months, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates seven times to an eventual 4.5%.\n\n**The adjustment may not be over**\n\nThe interest rate is the price of money. When the price of money was close to zero, all assets, regardless of quality, appeared cheap. Over the past year, interest rates rose significantly, meaning that money once again had a price.\n\nWhile just a year ago, due to negative interest rates, 100 euros in your wallet was worth less than a 100 euro note you would receive in 10 years (yes, absurd!) then, with the reversal of interest rates, we returned to a world where the 100 euros in your bank account today is worth more than a 100 euro note you would receive in ten years. At a 4% price of money, the current value of a future 100 euros 10 years from now is a little less than 68 euros.\n\nA rise in interest rates has a negative impact on asset prices, as the value of future profits and rents falls. Furthermore, why risk buying shares in a company that only offers a 1.5% dividend when essentially risk-free government bonds offer an annual yield of 4%?\n\nI suspect that if interest rates rise further, the values of ventures and projects with higher risks and longer time horizons may fall further.\n\nIn 2022, bond markets fell even more than stock markets, which leaves unanswered the question of whether bond markets overreacted or whether stocks still have room to fall. Bonds are generally lower-risk investments than stocks.\n\nThirty-year US government bonds lost more than half their value to rising interest rates last year. It is true that after 30 years, the investors will get their entire investment back, but the value of the bond that will be redeemed after 30 years is currently only half of that. While there is a direct mathematical relationship between the bond price and the interest rate, expectations about companies’ future profits also come into play in the case of stock prices.\n\nThe price level of stocks depends not only on interest rates but also on the financial performance of companies. Companies’ profit ratios decreased significantly last year, but still remain somewhat above the historical average. The financial performance of companies was stronger than expected last year, even despite the accelerating rate of inflation, rising interest rates, and disruptions in supply chains. If the growth of the largest economies were to turn negative in 2023 and corporate profits fall, this would put stock markets under new pressure.\n\nHowever, this does not mean that all companies would face equal difficulties. I believe that, in the coming years, a company’s debt load and the ease or difficulty of refinancing existing debts or attracting new capital will count more than the sector in which it operates.\n\nFor the past 20 years, and especially during the past ten, interest rates have been historically very low. In July 2012, the European Central Bank lowered the interest rate on its standing deposit facility to zero, and in June 2014 it went negative for the first time. This meant that commercial banks had to start paying for depositing their funds in the central bank. The US Federal Reserve refrained from setting negative interest rates but kept them close to zero for a long time.\n\nNow that the US Federal Reserve pays banks 4.25% for their deposits and the European Central Bank pays 2%, interest rates have merely normalised. Those who hope and expect a return to the monetary policy regime of a few years ago, where the price of money was essentially 0%, are likely to be disappointed. You can find a 200-year history of US dollar interest rates [here](https://advisor.visualcapitalist.com/us-interest-rates/).\n\n**The economy is cyclical**\n\nFor years, I have noted the absurdity of the monetary policy of developed countries. It is necessary to support the economy during a crisis, but more than ten years of continuous support can develop into a dangerous addiction.\n\nIn a recent interview, Jeffrey Gundlach, who was crowned the king of the bond markets after Bill Gross, compared a 0% monetary policy to an adrenaline injection: it is necessary in a life-threatening situation, but it is neither healthy nor reasonable to have an adrenaline shot every morning.\n\nLHV pension funds pursue a very long-term investment strategy. We have always considered the possibility that the economy and securities markets are cyclical, and that both interest rates and stock market ratios fluctuate around their historical averages. The investment portfolios of our pension funds have been designed based on this knowledge.\n\nOwing to conservative investment strategy, we did not make a maximum gain on the phenomenal rise of the stock markets in 2021, when the world’s largest economies were almost locked down, while the policy of zero interest rates and the generosity of governments boosted the value of all companies and projects. But thanks to our conservative investment strategy, we also managed to avoid investing in companies with a high debt burden, whose value was based on nothing but lofty promises and who have been in free fall over the past year.\n\n<br>\n\nPS!\n\nIn an earlier newsletter, I wrote about the growing importance of stories and narratives, which have even surpassed the ability of companies in certain lines of business to offer real products and services. Several speculative bubbles burst last year. Some were caused by the greed and naivety of the investors themselves, while others were deliberately and maliciously created illusions. The lawsuit between the scandalous medical diagnostics startup Theranos and its founder Elizabeth Holmes was settled last year.\n\nI would like to hope that the events of the past year point to the importance of independent critical thinking, and that we, as citizens and investors, will be better able to tell between illusions and reality in the future.\n\nBy the way, Merriam Webster, the oldest publisher of dictionaries and reference books in the United States, chose _[gaslighting](https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/word-of-the-year?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Insider%20Today%2C%20December%201%2C%202022&utm_term=INSIDER%20TODAY%20SEND%20LIST)_ as the word of the year for 2022.
