The focus is on EM Asia, Cyclical stocks, and US Home builders for overweights in equities. Fixed income should see yields head higher with an emphasis on spread compression trades. They recommend being long the dollar during fiscal cliff negotiations and remaining medium-term overweight both credit and equities against cash, government debt, and commodities, as they do not think an Obama victory changes economic outlooks or risks significantly.
