The numbers look like this. Changes fromg at the last set of forecasts three months ago, better sales, profits down. The final report comes out at the end of this month. Changes,ns behind the have a look at the three. The second one is core business. First and third, something outside the control of sony. Also, a sharp drop in Interest Rates leading to an adverse impact. Analysts are still bullish on the stock, not necessarily the same view on the business itself. Anr function on the bloomberg. , a 25 pop from where we are at the moment. Lets have a look at google and alphabet. Out with earnings overnight, hitting a speed bump. The company missed firstquarter sales, firstquarter profit, blaming weak growth in ad sales and thinner profit margins. The cfo was talking with analysts, and she is saying that there are certain costs associated with revenue, variable costs, and they have been going up as a result of broad changes in the business and environment. The result, she says, is more revenue, but at a lower margin. Keep in mind that we are seeing some pressure in the after hours. The company is still the worlds most second viable, five to 20 billion. 520 lets have a look at the macro space. This, roughly and change from yesterday. There is the speed bump right there.

A stronger yen weighing on japanese shares. It is time to consider the funds with absolute return characteristics. Family Office Research management, joining us from sydney. Great to see you. Lets start off with what people are asking. You were telling me that we have political risks, but lets start off with china debt. Why are people that concern . People in this part of the world are very sensitive about the commodity trade with australia and china, so theyre asking about the potential for a hard landing. What we keep coming back to is debt levels have risen sharply, weight too high and china, but the only real way to look at it is to dovetail the chinese fiveyear plan with what they are doing with the debt position. , which areanies allowed to default on bonds overseas, but then we see China Railway Materials Corporation not defaulting, see think to yourself, what is it about China Railway that is protected, and obviously it is the fact that it is critical to the chinese plan, and the areas where they are wanting to do fast, they are allowed to default wanting to ivest, they are allowed to default. In the next year or two, we will see a lot more defaults on chinese debt, some of them u. S. Dollar denominated. Rishaad quite small compared to what we have held indigenously, because it is debt where the burden is on the chinese people, and the way the country is set up, sure, there are some systemic risks when it comes to commodities, but overall it is a relatively closed economy, so people should not worry as much as they are. That could be a view. Yes, and i take that point. We did actually hold some bonds in the Major Chinese banks for clients, and we sold out of them entirely a few months ago. I prefer to stand back at this point in time. Being declared are still low, but the number is rising, and when the bad debt direction of disclosures is upward, that can have a big impact on prices, even if that number is not monumental. Is one thing of concern with your clients, High Net Worth individuals. Political to the risks, the u. S. Election, and a , britain leaving the European Union with that referendum on june 23. Is this now looming large in peoples minds . Is very large in peoples minds, especially those in the u k and on the continent. They are speaking about it in every meeting, and it looks to me like the lead up to the june 23 vote is going to be the time of volatility, not the postelection outcome. If the election action delivers exit, that will be followed by trade pacts one at a time and a reconstruction of the relationships. Lead up to about the that, and then the case of the u. S. Political scene, im worried about the lead up to the republican convention. The first three weeks of july before we get to that first ballot. Transpacificy is trade, and if the agreement and various features are in question, then that is a bad outlook for Global Equity markets. Areaad no doubt you watching japan with some interest as well. Bank of japan expected to go further into negative interest rate. ,r. Kuroda is doing the work but any further move towards negative rates might show this policy is not working. Shinzo abe sitting there. While tokyong burns . One of the things we have to watch closely is the degree of Japanese Investment outside of japan, and to what extent that speeds up or diversifies. In australia, we will see a number of acquisitions of austrian assets by Japanese Companies and greater trade alliances being built. That is positive for japan, because that gold in japan has to be invested someplace else besides bond rates that are negative. Japan will have to cut rates. If it happens quickly, we will see a moderation. Either way, the direction is slightly or greatly accommodative, one of the other or the other. Rishaad thank you there. Joining us from sydney.

To get theg weekend started like a scary chart out of china. The markets extending declines on this last trading day of the week. We had a 4. 5 decline on wednesday.

Had commodities and equities climbed higher, and the Chinese Market in this slumps. It remains the worst performing market in all the markets this world, down 12 in the first quarter. Seeing this diversion given that the data out of china has been fairly good, gdp, investor data, better than expected. Markets are questioning the veracity of this data.

Rishaad Mitsubishi Motors plunging again, 12 this time, having lost a third of its value. A 40 fall back so far. Fallout from this few efficiency scandal is now enormous. There are signs it will get bigger. Onlytsubishi is not the one. We have been talking about volkswagen for a while. The regulators are clamping down , rightfully so, because the emission standards are becoming more stringent. Rishaad they did not even ,onform to current standards but they conform to 2000 three standards. 2003 standards. Already many cars are fuelefficient compared to the rest of the fleet, so they are back to 2003 standards, but at the end of the day, they are still fuelefficient and him it less pollutants. Rishaad what sort of penalties could they suffer. We have been discussing this. Areother side, if they doing this too many cars, what about other models . The investigation is still ongoing, ok . We do have some preliminary estimates we came up with. Ivehicles were given a tax break of two percentage points. Basically, mitsubishi could be on the hook to repay those tax credits of around 200 million. Again, those are early figures. There may be other penalties involved, other vehicles involved. We will have to see as it plays out. Rishaad thank you very much indeed. Right, softbank investors are calling for an investigation, questioning the track record for their number two. What are they looking for here . Hi. The Investor Group has called for the board of softbank to set up an independent investigation into the number two at the company over what they say are potential conflicts of interest, and some Business Decisions that may reflect poor judgment. They sent this letter to the board in january of this year, and they asked for some kind of response. They say they have not received any kind of response at this point, so they are weighing what kind of further action they may take. Rishaad ok, well, what do we know about the Investment Group and what is softbanks response . We know little about the Investment Group. The letter came from a new york law form, a highprofile law firm, but does not name any of the investors involved in this. The attorney is name, but they dont identify the investors. There is one swiss investor we , who holds a small number of shares, about 100,000 worth of shares in the softbank and sprint. Clear what kind of standing that will give him with the board or would softbank if the Investor Group is broader, they say it is broader, they say there are more investors involved, but they have not said who those other investors are, how much stock they own, so it is hard to determine how much weight they will get as they make this presentation to the board. Softbanks response has been a of the founderg of the company, and the ceo says 1000 and is confident he will go on to do good things for the company. They went through point by point the issues raised in the letter and gave a defense of them. For example, the letter asks about conflicts of interest at his role with silver lake, saying there may be conflict of interests between that role and softbank. Softbank says there are some benefits to him being involved with silver lake. And as he more deals, tries to pick investments with startups, hes able to get a broader perspective of what is going on. In addition, there is a vetting process, so they are very confident that he has done nothing wrong and confident that he will be able to contribute to the Company Going forward. Rishaad thank you. Joining us from tokyo. Getting you up to speed with some other stories. Bonuses on wall street making headlines. They could be restricted soon.

Rishaad why . If you borrow a lot of money beyond what you can pay, you will run into a lot of trouble. , it had to sell projects onto subsidiaries a separate publicly listed company to warehouse assets. In the case of peabody, youre selling a commodity. If you are selling it for less do, thenare able to you are in a tight spot. Rishaad and away, it leaves these companies with more and more spend on new energy . It is a good question. The biggest question we have is does it matter what the companies do for the industry. The answer in both cases is no. You have a large pool of assets in the case of sun edison. People will buy them. There is ample supply to meet any demand in the market. You could say in the coal market , it does not fundamentally change the supply or demand equation, though in the long run , with the Paris Agreement being signed, we do hope to see more demand on the cleaner side of things. Rishaad thank you very much indeed. We will be talking to the head of ftse russell, coming up. Welcome back. It is 943 a. M. In hong kong. These other stories making headlines from around the world.

What is it mean for those shares of joining the global index . To ourut that question guest. Tell us what you are doing, first of all. With this index, we are responding to the enormous interest in china. We all know there is often a discount between the shares the trade in hong kong and the shares that trade in shanghai. An index where you benefit from investing in the line of stock which is at a discount. ,t might be one or the other and we switch into the discounted lane. It is active in that way, but in a controlled way. You do get an outperformance from this. Hares typically trade at a premium. Theres only been a few times when they have traded at a discount. Rishaad we saw recently a premium of 47 of a shares over hshares. Shares discount on the h is about 15 . We were able to use a stock connect that enables us to trade. There will be etfs on this index. They start trading in london and frankfurt first, then comes hong kong. They will be available to investors in the next month. Rishaad what about the shenzhen stock in a there as well . Once it is up and running, we will use the connect. The stock connect will be available before the in the the year. Rishaad what does china need to do it effectively to gain broad acceptance by these index providers, such as yourself . I think the authorities in china have been edging towards improving capital mobility, but the mobility has to be both investing in and also being able to take money out. At the moment, Foreign Investors in china it only represents 2 of the market and in most emerging markets, it should be around 30 . 30 is 2 from 2 to trillion. Left forwhat steps are the Chinese Government to convince people . On the capital mobility, they have to align the different programs. Theyve announced that that is their intention. We would like to see that happen. We would like to see ands in stock connect in place, and also stock connectn in place. Rishaad we have the trading ban at the start of the year, which got rescinded. How much damage for the recent on reputation . Certainly we can see the flows of investments into and out of china. During when we had that volatility and so Many Companies who were self suspending, that was a poor time for the china market, but it has bounced back quickly. Sentiment has moved very quickly to be very positive about china. People now think china is fairly valued. Rishaad again, is it fairly regulated . We reported that they are considering one big super regulator, if you like. What we are seeing is that the regulation is Getting Better and better, but this is a Market Driven by retail trade, and that means it is driven by momentum trading. Up andmarket opens International Institutional investors come into the market, they will add stability, put pressure on companies to improve governance, and i think that will improve the market in a very big way. Rishaad how much interest is there in china now . Have you seen it develop exponentially in the last few years . There is enormous interest in china. It is the second biggest market in the world. Therefore, ever Global Investor has to be interested in china. I think the china market is getting to a stage where we will be included in global benchmarks , but it would take a number of years for us to include it to its full weight. This is a market that is bigger than the u. K. , bigger than japan, and it will be huge as a transition to bring that into global portfolios. Rishaad great talking to you. Thank you very much indeed.
