Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011

Director’s Overview
It has been a rollercoaster of a market ride over the past five years during which
I have had the pleasure of managing the equity research team at CIBC. By their
very nature, the markets consistently make successful and consistent stock
picking a challenge. The notion of top picks at a firm that prides itself on
delivering differentiated research is always a very public and measured test of
our capabilities, one that our investor clients seem to look forward to each year.

The first three years of my tenure as Head of Research, the average total price
return for the team’s top picks for each year had been underperforming the
benchmark TSX by a meaningful margin; however, this tide has turned in the
past two years. In 2010 our top picks as a portfolio (if held for the full year)
performed well ahead of the TSX Composite – up 20.5% on a price basis vs.
12.5% for the Composite. Of the 16 top picks, nine outperformed the index and
seven performed worse, although all but one of our picks generated a positive
return.

2011 has opened with an even better tone than was the case in 2010, as much
of the economic malaise seems to be behind us, although, as Peter Gibson
enumerates elsewhere, there are still lots of issues of concern, the biggest
long-term risk being deflation although the short-term risks are likely more
inflationary as the Fed wrestles with reviving an economy through quantitative
easing. Critical, in Peter’s view, will be the Fed’s success in keeping the bond
yield below a ceiling of 3.8%, the level at which equities will become pricey and
forecasting messy. With a strong recovery in the wider benchmark indices on
both sides of the border in 2009 and 2010, investors may have to settle in for a
slightly more reserved market. Despite the positive market moves over these
past 18 months, our Head of Portfolio Strategy believes there is still very good
reason to stay long stocks (vs. bonds) over the next 12 months, provided
short-term market weakness is not a concern and the Fed is successful with
QE2/3. In addition, the emerging economy theme for China and India positions
Canada’s resource economy to experience ROE recovery that should be quite
robust, although the absolute levels are being forecast to remain below those to
be delivered south of the border. Peter is forecasting year-end levels for the TSX
and S&P 500 of 14,800 and 1,384, respectively, suggesting that Canada’s stock
market will outperform its neighbor to the south.

For the year just ended, our analysts’ top picks, as a portfolio (if held for the full
year), performed well ahead of the TSX – up 20.5% on a price basis (see
Exhibit 2) vs. 12.5% for the Composite during the same period (1/11/10 to
12/31/10). Within our returns, nine of the 16 stocks outperformed the TSX
Composite Index for the period and seven performed worse, although all but one
achieved positive returns for shareholders.

Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011

The highest Sector Outperformer return achieved by our analyst team, held for
the full year, was Jeff Fetterly’s pick of Total Energy Services (TOT–TSX, SP
rated), which generated a 106% price return for the full holding period. This is a
three-peat for Jeff in delivering the top-returning stock (full-year return),
although this year he didn’t recommend investors hold it for the full period, as
he downgraded the stock after a 33% gain through April 2010.

Despite a more active M&A environment, none of the top picks benefitted from a
big takeover premium that has been available in past years and something Jeff
benefitted from with his pick in 2008. We highlight in Table 2 those four stocks
for which we lowered our rating from Sector Outperformer during the course of
the year and those two stocks for which we had a change in analyst coverage. In
both cases, we provide the date and price of the security on the day the report
was released to the market and a calculated price return to that date. If we use
these returns (and pretend the investor simply put the cash raised from the sale
under their pillow), our total return for the portfolio of top picks drops to 14.0%,
still 150 basis points (bps) better than the Composite Index price return.

Avery Shenfeld and our economics team believe that we are still a way from the
stairway to heaven of big job gains that would reduce the unemployment levels
materially, but the recent efficiency push on the back of capital spending should
position the U.S. economy for better job recovery in the back half of the year.
While the economics team believes the Fed may act early in the year, it will not
be aggressive and will likely revert to “stand-by” mode until the end of the year.
In his most recent economics piece, Not Yet Heaven in Twenty Eleven, Avery
Shenfeld outlines what he thinks is in store for the coming year. Much of it is
expected to be the same as 2010, but with the U.S. generating slightly better
GDP growth than previously forecast, at just about 2.6% – led by a slightly more
confident consumer. This positioning should help to create an investment
environment that continues to have more stability.

Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011

The backdrop in Canada remains better than we foresee globally, although there
is some concern over the strength of the consumer and their ability to contribute
to the economic expansion with the same vigor as they delivered in 2010.
Strong prospects for our resource industries and improving manufacturing and
business investment should start to shoulder more of the economic growth as it
is offloaded by the consumer in Canada. When we compare the outlooks for the
economies of Canada and the U.S., the economic indicators like GDP growth,
consumption growth, and unemployment rate suggest, in composite, that
Canada should fare better than our neighbors south of the border.

We asked Peter Gibson, Head of Portfolio Strategy, to provide us with a macro


view on where he expects the markets to go in 2011. We anticipate that this
article will be followed up in the coming month with some additional color on
where our quantitative models are predicting differentiated performance in the
market. Once again for 2011 there is a full tear sheet of key fundamentals for
each of our top picks (these are found on an ongoing basis on the second page
of our fundamental research reports) and a technical view.

Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011

Do You Believe In Magic?


Peter Gibson, Toronto (416) 594-7194
Jeff Evans, CFA, Toronto (416) 956-3250

We believe that by the end of 2011 the TSX will have recorded gains of
approximately 11.5% with a dividend yield of over 2% for a total return of
approximately 14% for the year. We expect that the S&P 500 will record a total
return gain of over 10% comprised of price appreciation on the order of 9%,
combined with a dividend yield of approximately 1.8%. The TSX should continue
to outperform the S&P 500 as a result of continued growth in the emerging
nations as the U.S. Federal Reserve continues to rely on quantitative easing.

Relatively high structural unemployment in the U.S. and continued weakness in


the U.S. real estate market have resulted in a U.S. recovery that is
approximately one-third to one-half the rate of growth we would like to see.
Unfortunately, the outlook for the global economy and, in particular, North
American equity markets, relies on the U.S. Federal Reserve's successful
administration of quantitative easing through 2011. At the same time, China and
Japan have a vested interest in working with the U.S. to help underpin their
recovery while trying to stabilize the debt crisis in Europe. So far it appears to
be working. Exhibit 4 is a summary of our forecasts for 2011.

Themes
By traditional measures, the U.S. economy is weak but should gain some
momentum in 2011. Most strategists would say the same for 2011. Presumably,
therefore, the longer that the U.S. is on the path to recovery then the longer
that BRIC nations will grow, albeit at much faster rates. Every year of economic
growth is another year of growing global oil consumption. Coordinated global
growth is clearly a leading cause of persistently higher average oil prices.

Understanding the link between quantitative easing and preventing bond yields
from reaching our estimated 3.8% ceiling is the key to appreciating how long
gold and oil prices and the TSX can likely rise. The benefits which Canada enjoys
as an exporter of commodities while benefiting from sustainably low U.S. rates is
obvious – The question is simply one of how long can the U.S. quantitatively
ease and can the U.S. begin to see self-sustaining economic growth in 2011 that
resembles the early stages of recovery witnessed in 2004?

Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011

To do this, the U.S. housing market must stabilize. If the U.S. recovery is taking
hold, then the U.S. dollar should strengthen. Nonetheless, we would expect
continued but slower appreciation in gold prices owing to emerging economy
growth, hence the US$1,580/oz. gold price target. Yet, we still believe that, if
possible, the U.S. government would still choose to push the U.S. dollar
devaluation below the recent lows. As long as quantitative easing holds the bond
yield below 3.8%, then more can be done which still pushes the U.S. dollar
devaluation further, in which case US$1,700/oz. gold is likely. It is more a
matter of understanding the Fed’s ability to continue administering quantitative
easing because the day that it becomes necessary to withdraw substantial
liquidity is the day investors risk forecasting chaos.

Risks For The Fed


The range of possible outcomes for North American stocks and bonds is perhaps
greater than it has been in years. Global investors are placing their full faith and
confidence in the Fed’s successful administration of quantitative easing as there
remains a long list of ongoing risks. These risks include a number of geopolitical
hotspots, the ongoing risks in Europe, the fact that the U.S. stock market has
now rallied 85% from its 2009 lows and that the recent rally has been so
significant that markets are well above mean reversion levels. The recently
recorded record-low volatility is very unusual. Historically, markets have
recorded very low volatility immediately before crisis, often in part, due to the
fact that low volatility often implies a sense of complacency.

Biggest Risk Is Deflation


Although deflation is, ultimately, the biggest risk that the North American
economy faces, the short-term cyclical risk is the growing fear of inflation,
specifically, that of food and energy inflation at a time when North America is
not recording any wage inflation. Emerging economy growth is underpinning
commodity inflation while the West is not demonstrating any evidence of wage
inflation.

The Fed Is Trying To Hold The 10-year U.S. Treasury Yield


Below 3.8%
In the absence of wage inflation, it is impossible to pass price increases through
to consumers and, therefore, it is unlikely that we will witness secular profit
growth driven by inflation in the way it was witnessed in the 1970s. Weak
corporate profit growth makes North American stock markets very sensitive to
the level of interest rates. We, therefore, believe that the U.S. Fed strategy of
quantitative easing is intended to hold U.S. bond yields below the critical 3.8%
level and, preferably, below the 3.5% level for as long as possible so that the
U.S. economy can continue to recover at the current, relatively, weak rate. This
fact underpins investors’ reliance on the Fed’s ability to continue administering
quantitative easing.

We cannot over-emphasize the significance we attach to the Fed’s goal of


holding 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yields below the 3.8% level, which is
indicated by our asset mix models. We believe that the safe haven, reserve
currency, status of the U.S. gives it the room to continue relying on the use of
quantitative easing. If bond yields, however, should rise above the 3.5% level,
the implication would be that quantitative easing is losing its effectiveness. The
Fed then could still, reluctantly, raise short-term interest rates slightly in the
hope that bond yields would then fall. We refer to this as a tilting yield curve and
it could still be a last resort strategy for the Fed in an attempt to prevent bond
yields from rising too much, but it is an inherently risky strategy. In 2004,
during the early stages of that five-year recovery, the Fed tilted the yield curve.
Historically, when the U.S. yield curve tilts, it is very favorable for equity
markets as long as corporate profitability is stable or rising.

7
Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011

The Circular Irony Of Quantitative Easing, Higher Oil Prices


And Stable Bond Yields
In a sense, the goal would be to hold bond yields at 3.3% when, perhaps, the
10-year Treasury would naturally be at 4.1%. The longer that the Fed can do
this, the greater the likelihood that U.S. economic growth gains momentum and
that growth becomes self-sustaining. The risk is that inflation gains momentum
and when the Fed no longer has the resources to fight the upward tendency in
yields, they skyrocket. Eventually, it is like trying to stop the water flowing from
a garden hose by holding your thumb over the end. A sudden significant upward
move in bond yields and, therefore, mortgage rates would be catastrophic for
home prices and consumer confidence in the absence of wage inflation and
inflationary profit growth stock markets would be crippled when bond yields rise
too much.

In fact, our view is a little different, i.e., given the sheer potential size of
emerging economies, it is a race against time to see which nation is more
energy efficient, can adapt faster, develop energy substitutes faster and
withstand sustainably higher oil prices longer than others. From time to time,
however, high oil prices should underscore the safe haven status of the U.S. and
act as a growth tax rather than a cause of secular inflation at first.

We would think that sustainably high oil prices actually contribute to weaker
U.S. growth relative to their historical experience and contribute to holding bond
yield in the desired rate (i.e., 3%–3.3%). The irony being that this level of bond
yields increases the likelihood of more quantitative easing.

Implications
At present, the 3.8% 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield level represents the level
of yields that causes the S&P 500 to appear significantly overvalued. At these
levels and above, we would also anticipate significant new pressure for U.S. real
estate prices. This is the dilemma the Fed faces and it is the direct result of too
much government and consumer debt. On the one hand, the U.S. desperately
needs a faster rate of economic recovery and, yet, if bond yields rise too much
then the risk of a panic in debt markets also exists. Exhibit 5 illustrates that the
implied ceiling for bond yields has been falling steadily for many years. Should
the Fed be forced to tighten because the bond yields reaches the 3.8% ceiling
too quickly while the U.S. economy is still relatively weak, then the risk of
another U.S. recession still exists, although even moderate tightening by the
U.S. would probably be perceived as a greater risk for Europe, resulting in
capital flow back into the U.S. Treasury market.

How Long Can The Fed Keep The Investing Window Open?
Our View On Bond Yields Below The Ceiling
As long as the 10-year bond yield remains below the 3.8% ceiling and U.S.
corporate profitability is rising, then we remain optimistic about the outlook for
North American equities. The 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield, however, has
recently been as high as 3.5% and it is likely that quantitative easing has played
a significant role in preventing yields from rising further. Since the year 2000,
there have been two massive collapses in the U.S. stock market. The first
collapse occurred from 2000 until October 2002. The second collapse occurred
during the housing crisis of 2007 and the banking crisis of 2008. Both major
market collapses were signaled by three critical observations. First, the 10-year
U.S. Treasury yield exceeded the then current bond yield ceiling. Second,
S&P 500 profitability had started to decline. Third, this decline probably resulted
from the fact that the Fed had tightened until the U.S. yield curve became
inverted (see Exhibit 7). On both of these occasions, the bid-to-cover ratio for
U.S. Treasuries was also at relatively low levels (see Exhibit 8).

By contrast, the recovery in 2009 coincided with bond yields at the low end of
our estimated range and forward ROE was recovering. The Fed had restored a
steep positive slope to the yield curve, trailing ROE was on the verge of recovery
and the bid-to-cover ratio began to rise due to the safe haven status of the U.S.
Treasury market demonstrated during the global banking crisis.

To assess the ongoing potential for the U.S. equity market, the first critical step
demands that we check Exhibits 5 to 8. We believe that, based on the fact that
the bid-to-cover ratio, albeit manipulated by the Fed, is at very high levels and
the U.S. yield curve maintains a steep positive slope, this would imply, for now,
the Fed can continue to quantitatively ease and hold the 10-year U.S. Treasury
bond yield below the critical 3.8% ceiling. This is crucial since Exhibit 6 for
S&P 500 ROE indicates that trailing and forward ROE are growing at
approximately one-third to one-half the desired rate.

Self-sustaining U.S. Economic Recovery Still Depends On


Quantitative Easing
In fact, we view it as very dangerous to be naively making forecasts for
gold and oil prices and the Canadian dollar based on emerging economy
growth without realizing that, in reality, they all turn on QE 2, 3 and the
bond yield ceiling. Given these facts, we are optimistic about the Fed’s
chances of success in eventually establishing a self-sustaining U.S. economic
recovery, but we know full well that this view depends entirely on quantitative
easing, thereby holding 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yields below the critical
3.8% level. Quantitative easing, in fact, impacts our outlook for the U.S. dollar
and, in turn, emerging economy growth, oil prices, gold prices and the Canadian
dollar. Virtually every forecast, therefore, at the present time, is directly
impacted by the Fed’s ability to quantitatively ease and hold bond yields below
the critical level. If the Fed fails, then we would expect forecasting chaos.

Could This Be 2004 Because We Are Recovering From


Recession?
Exhibit 9 further underscores the fine line that the Federal Reserve is walking. At
the same time that bond yields are a mere 50 bps from the ceiling, U.S.
residential and commercial real estate prices remain weak. Fortunately,
quantitative easing is underpinned by a significant rally in the S&P 500. It is
very common to experience crises late in an economic cycle such as 1987/1988
and 1997/1998 and then again recently in 2007/2008. The 2007/2008 crisis,
however, resulted in a very significant U.S. recession. The U.S. equity market
began to recover in October 2002 from the recession witnessed during that
period. The equity market recovery was supported by corporate profit growth
and the equity market rally persisted until 2007 when bond yields again reached
the then current ceiling. Usually after the late-cycle crises, the market rebounds
for about two years before higher rates lead to another recession, but, as in
2004, we are trying to emerge from a recession, whereas other late-cycle crises
do not, typically, result in technical recessions.

Exhibit 10. S&P 500 Total Return (2000 To Present)

Source: Bloomberg and CIBC World Markets Inc.

Resembles 2004? A Minor Positive Supporting A Growing


Investor Confidence
In Exhibit 10, the S&P 500 total return graph demonstrates how persistent and
significant that equity rally proved to be from 2002 to 2007. Although corporate
profit growth was stronger then compared with today, there were other ancillary
indications pointing to a continued recovery in equity prices. It was interesting
to note that there was an inverted head and shoulders pattern that occurs in
2002 and again in 2004. We witness this pattern again during 2008, 2009 and
during 2010.

Head-and-shoulder patterns are among a few of the patterns that seem to have
a demonstrable history of success. The simplistic implication here would be that
the S&P 500 goes sideways for several months, but finishes the year modestly
higher after the big year-end run-up in 2010. It would be a minor indication of
growing confidence and a sustainable expansion.

What Pattern Is The Fed Hoping For?


We would think that the Fed is hopeful that the current period resembles 2004.
One of the key takeaways from that period is that bond yields came very close
to our calculated ceilings and, yet, some very modest Fed tightening prevented
the bond yield from rising above critical levels. Corporate profitability continued
to grow during that time and, ultimately, became the basis for a sustainable
stock market advance. After a sharp run-up in 2003, the S&P 500 moved
sideways to slightly down for the first part of 2004 and bond yields fell modestly.
We probably face a similar outcome today. If the Fed can use quantitative
easing or, if necessary, very modest tightening to keep bond yields within a
critical range, then the U.S. stock market may pause for part of 2011 while
keeping a longer-term upward trend intact.

In Canada, Stocks Still Outperform Bonds And T-bills


The very significant U.S. stock market rally at the end of 2010 and the ongoing
problems in Europe would suggest that the U.S. stock market needs to pause. In
fact, Exhibits 11 and 12 illustrate the returns from Canadian and U.S. stocks,
bonds and T-bills and shows very significant short-term losses in bonds since the
summer of 2010 while stock prices soared. These exhibits also show that,
despite all the turmoil of the last few years, the cumulative rate of return for the
TSX over the last five years again exceeds the rate of return for Canadian bonds
and T-bills.

Not The Case In The U.S.


By comparison, the S&P 500 five-year rate of return is still less than that of
T-bills and far less than that of U.S. bonds. Canada’s superior performance
resulted from a number of important factors, including a stronger banking
system and sustainably higher oil and gold prices because of emerging economic
growth.

TSX Versus S&P 500


Exhibit 13 further illustrates the significant performance of the TSX relative to
the S&P 500 but also demonstrates the very dramatic outperformance posted by
our CIBC Small-cap Index. The CIBC small-cap universe started from lower
levels in 2008 and, yet, has completely overtaken the S&P 500 and the TSX.
Since the lows of 2009, the TSX has also demonstrated both a small-cap effect
and a significant, related, rally in the shares of commodity sectors.

Preference For TSX Over S&P 500 But Only If Bond Yield
Stays Below The 3.8% Ceiling In The U.S.
Our preference for the TSX relative to the S&P 500 depends entirely on the Fed’s
ability to keep bond yields below the 3.8% ceiling. If bond yields are held in the
range of 3% to 3.3% then the Fed is able to continue quantitatively easing. To
the extent that this contributes to a further devaluation of the U.S. dollar then
this implies generally higher gold and oil prices. Since approximately 50% of the
TSX is comprised of the energy and materials sectors, the level of U.S. bond
yields and the ability of the U.S. to continue quantitative easing is a major driver
of potential returns for the TSX. Not surprisingly, therefore, Exhibit 14 illustrates
the inverse relationship between the U.S. dollar and gold and oil prices, and
Exhibit 15 illustrates the very high correlation between TSX total returns and the
commodity Index.

Other Important Circular Implications Of Quantitative


Easing
Quantitative easing, therefore, has a number of other important implications.
Quantitative easing, for example, is intended to hold bond yields below the
critical ceiling levels of 3.8% but it also contributes to the devaluation of the
U.S. dollar as a result of monetizing debt and debasing the U.S. dollar in the
process. The U.S. is likely to pursue this strategy for as long as it possibly can.

The goal is not so much for the U.S. to become an export-dependent country as
a result of devaluing the dollar, but, rather, it is a strategy that contributes to
lower interest rates for export-dependent countries and, in general, for the
world. This is likely to remain the case until countries like China face a serious
threat from inflation.

15
Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011

Economic theory suggests that China cannot maintain an independent monetary


policy relative to the United States if it fixes its currency and tries to control
capital flows at the same time. This would imply that aggressive, easy, U.S.
monetary policy results in aggressive, easy, monetary policy for China, as long
as it tries to maintain its currency peg to the U.S. dollar. This has important
long-term potentially crisis implications for China. Therefore, quantitative easing
tends to contribute to rapid growth in emerging economies and, perhaps, even
inflationary growth in time.

U.S. Dollar Devaluation


In the short term, the U.S. dollar devaluation also contributes to higher oil
prices. Although the U.S. is the largest consumer of oil globally, it is also
relatively more efficient in its use of oil in generating GDP growth. In a sense,
therefore, higher oil prices create relatively more pressure for less energy
efficient, emerging economies but it also represents a growth tax on the U.S.
economy, which contributes to holding bond yields down at the same time.

Higher Oil Prices


Curiously, a sustainably higher oil price places relatively more pressure on other
economies and may, ironically, allow the U.S. to extend its quantitative easing
strategy. Sustainably high oil prices also create economic incentive for the U.S.
to pursue energy substitutes and, perhaps, ultimately, force its conversion to
natural gas just as the British economy once converted from coal to oil
dependence.

The sheer potential size of the Chinese and Indian economies, therefore, has
enormous implications for the average level of oil prices longer term and,
obviously, for investing opportunities in Canada. The U.S., therefore, is walking
a fine line between using quantitative easing in an attempt to re-establish
self-sustaining economic growth while risking much higher oil prices that could
derail both the U.S. and global recovery.

Sustainably high oil prices, therefore, are a cause and effect of quantitative
easing. Sustainably high oil prices are crucial today if the U.S. is to have the
economic incentive to lessen its reliance on oil before the emerging economies
become so large that oil prices are crippling. Yet, high oil prices are a growth
tax, which is relatively more punitive for other nations than the U.S. and in the
U.S. case can help hold bond yields down. It comes full circle then. Higher oil
prices can increase the risk of chaos elsewhere, thereby making the U.S. more
of a safe haven and simultaneously increasing the likelihood that the U.S. can
get away with more quantitative easing. In effect, we believe that the Fed's
ability to hold bond yields below the critical ceiling is the single most important
determinant of how high gold and oil prices can rise and for how long, as well as
how significant, the opportunity is for continued investment in these sectors. In
turn, these sectors are supercritical to the outlook for the TSX.

Devalue The U.S. Dollar, Higher Gold Prices


The energy, material and financial sectors alone represent almost 80% of the
TSX market capitalization. Exhibit 16 illustrates the relative performance of
these three sectors since the beginning of 2000. Although the timing of the
gains from the energy and materials sectors differs a little, these two sectors
have been the leading drivers that have allowed the TSX to dramatically
outperform the S&P 500. The TSX energy sector has moved sharply higher as
West Texas Intermediate oil prices have reached the mid-90s. This represents
the level we expected to see for year-end 2010 and we should witness
improving profitability for the energy sector as a consequence in 2011.

Up to this point, however, the materials sector has recorded gains as a result of
higher gold prices from 2001 to the present. Since 2001, we have argued that
the U.S. dollar devaluation strategy is ongoing and a main driver of higher gold
prices. In general, we believe that the Fed will attempt to devalue the U.S. dollar
for as long as possible and that this is the main driver for higher gold prices as
gold is often a currency proxy. We expect oil prices to trade in a range of
US$93/Bbl–US$103/Bbl throughout 2011.

TSX Earnings Forecasts; Key Is


Stable S&P 500 ROE
The North American equity market gains and concurrent U.S. bond market
losses since the summer of 2010 are both unusually large. Even more dramatic,
however, are the gains that were recorded by the small-cap TSX materials
sector. This equally weighted small-cap index has soared in just two years.

Median Values: Key Data Points For The TSX


Exhibit 17 summarizes some of the key data points relating to the S&P/TSX
Index. We noted earlier that for both the S&P 500 and the TSX the rate of profit
growth on both the forward and on a trailing basis remains unusually weak. As
indicated by the sector relative weights in the first column, it should be noted
that the energy, materials and financial sectors account for 78.45% of TSX
market capitalization.

In order, however, to minimize the impact of outliers, the table summarizes the
median values for each of the sectors. For example, median TSX profit growth is
a mere 0.11 standard deviations. The strongest profit growth is being recorded
by the materials sector at 0.22 standard deviations. The median value for
financial sector profit growth is 0.19 standard deviations, although the big five
banks in Canada are, generally, recording ROE declines on a trailing basis.
Therefore, the weighted average return on equity for the sector is unchanged.
This is also significant to the overall return on equity characteristics of the TSX
since the financial sector represents approximately 29% of the index weight. In
effect, we anticipate stable to weaker ROE and earnings for 30% of the TSX,
improving earnings for the energy sector (26%) and much stronger earnings for
the materials sector. This underpins our outlook for $830 aggregate TSX
earnings.

Trailing Now Leading Forward Earnings


In general, we prefer to see return on equity growth rates of 0.3 standard
deviations or better. The energy sector return on equity is also largely
unchanged on the trailing basis. Given the recent significant run-up in oil prices,
it would be expected that forward return on equity would rise. In fact, Street
forward ROE growth rates are still showing minimal growth. We would expect
that to change as oil prices remain close to US$100/Bbl US for West Texas
Intermediate.

At this point in the cycle and given pervasive concerns about the U.S. economy,
it comes as little surprise that trailing earnings are now rising very slowly in the
S&P 500, while forward earnings forecasts are falling. It is likely that forward
Street forecasts will rise slightly so that S&P 500 ROE is likely to remain flat at
the currency very high levels (over 20%). TSX ROE, however, is likely to record
better growth but from lower levels (recently 12%, median 8%).

Forward Earnings And Traditional Valuation


Aggregate earnings for the TSX should be capable of reaching $830 judging by
the anticipated return on equity growth for the energy, materials and financial
sectors. Both trailing and forward growth is being recorded by the information
technology sector, although this sector is 2.5% of the TSX market capitalization.
In fact, the median forward P/E ratios for the materials sector and the financial
sector would be close to 13x one-year forward earnings. If the Street forward
earnings forecast is correct, this would imply a current P/E on forward earnings
of less than 15x for the TSX overall. We believe that TSX earnings will be a little
weaker than the Street expects and that there will be slight compression of the
earnings multiple during the course of the year. Nonetheless, as long as the
10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield remains below the ceiling, our TSX target of
14,800 for year-end 2011 appears likely. It is also worth noting that the CIBC
analyst median return is expected to be 15.72% and the Street median return is
expected to be 11.02%.

Attractive Financial Sector Yield; Now Just Make Sure ROE


Is Rising
Although the financial sector is not demonstrating significant profit growth at
present, it is recording a median dividend yield of 4.21%. Our global portfolio
system indicates that the weighted average dividend yield for the financial
sector is an impressive 3.84%. Sustainably high dividend-yielding stocks
will continue to be a crucial long-term investing strategy for those that
choose not to be active tactical asset allocators.

Very Large Cash Holdings On The Balance Sheet, Especially


In The U.S.
Finally, in both the U.S. and Canada but especially in the U.S., companies have
accumulated significant amounts of cash on their balance sheets as a percent of
common equity. This is especially true for the U.S. and Canadian information
technology sectors. In the U.S. case, information technology sector companies
are frequently what we also call value-added exporters. That is, more than 50%
of their revenues come from international operations and emerging economies.
In Canada, the two sectors with the most substantial amounts of cash on the
balance sheets would be the materials sector and the information technology
sector.

19
Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011

At present, we believe that these high cash holdings reflect concern about the
state of the North American economy and that these high cash holdings amount
to a war chest. If, however, the Fed can keep bond yields below the ceiling,
allowing more time for the U.S. economy to recover and for consumer
confidence to improve, then it is possible that these substantial cash holdings
are, ultimately, used for mergers and acquisitions, increased dividend payouts,
share buybacks and capital investment. It is simply a matter of the U.S.
economy appearing stable for long enough that U.S. consumer and business
confidence eventually returns.

Info Tech Not A New Mania Yet; Financials Recovering And

Exhibit 18 summarizes nicely the impact on share prices of the last two major
bubbles, specifically the collapse in U.S. info tech prices from 2000 to 2003 and
the collapse in financial sector share prices from 2007 until 2009. Both of these
sectors in the U.S. are recording profit growth at present and although both
areas have risen steadily since market lows of 2009, they remain far below the
levels recorded during their respective speculative manias. We often wonder if
the massive reorganization of the U.S. financial sector has better positioned the
U.S. for dealing with future emerging economy banking crises. Furthermore,
despite all the justified concern about the state of the U.S. consumer, the
consumer discretionary sector has been one of the leading performers through
2010.

To some extent, however, the U.S. consumer discretionary sector has also
benefited from exposure to value-added exporters. There is a large list of
blue-chip, large-capitalization, S&P 500 companies that are benefiting from their
exposure to emerging economy growth. Their links to emerging economy
revenues are fuelling significant profit growth in many cases. This should remain
a dominant theme for many years. Our counterparts in the TSX are the energy
and materials sectors.

Our Recommended Asset Allocation


The following is a partial summary of our recommended asset mix given our
2011 targets and limited space in this publication. Our recommended asset mix
is shown for our various investor profiles in the top right-hand corner of
Exhibit 20. We have benefited significantly by being overweight equities since
January 2009 and by staying the course in our Investment Strategy Committee
publication from November 2010. It is true, however, that we may be required
to change our asset allocation in the next couple of months. North American
equity markets are overdue for a correction now or, at least, should mark time.
Our long-term, far more significant, outlook, however, depends on all the issues
this publication addresses, namely the bond yield ceiling, ROE growth and
quantitative easing. Exhibit 20 illustrates the standard format for our basic
scenario analysis for asset allocation.

For the purpose of this article, we are focused on our 2011 forecasts, our
recommended asset allocation and the implied total portfolio returns. We have
indicated target levels for 2012 but these targets are highly dependent on a
number of things as we go through 2011. The gold and oil price targets for 2012
and the related level for the TSX depend almost entirely on the arguments that
we’ve already made with respect to the level of U.S. bond yields and the need
for continued profit growth. We will look seriously at 2012 targets later in 2011
but for now our concern is with getting this year’s levels correct, i.e., 2011.

Exhibit 20. Basic SAS

Source: CIBC World Markets Inc.

We have not yet changed our recommended asset allocation for the various
investor profiles outlined in the top right-hand corner of Exhibit 20. It is
extremely likely that we will change our recommended asset allocation over the
course of the next two to three months. This is especially true if the 10-year
U.S. Treasury bond yield level gets any closer to the 3.8% ceiling. In order to
provide some indication of our current view with respect to North American
stocks, bonds and T-bills, we have decided to focus on only one of the several
investor profiles.

A Discussion Of Only One Of Our Common Investor


Profiles: The Growth Profile
The most traditional investor profile we have referred to over the years is
probably best represented by a growth profile and an allowable asset mix range
as indicated by point C – tactical asset allocation (refer to Exhibit 20). This is
shown just under the blue “optimistic” button allocation asset mix ranges. Within
this allowable range we have remained at 40% Canadian equities, 20% U.S.
equities and 35% Canadian bonds, as indicated in Exhibit 21. This would permit
us to alter our stock and bond allocation within a range of 20% to 70% and alter
the T-bill exposure from 0% to 50%.

When we first introduced the growth investor profile at CIBC, we recommended


a 45% Canadian equity exposure, a 20% U.S. equity exposure and a 35%
Canadian bond exposure. If our year-end 2011 targets prove to be correct then,

22
Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011

according to our Scenario Analysis System (SAS) for asset allocation, we would
expect a portfolio with the growth-oriented investor profile to achieve a 9.26%
total return with a 10.25% standard deviation of returns.

Performance Attribution
Exhibit 21 shows the 65% total allocation to U.S. and Canadian equities, with
the remainder of 35% invested in Canadian bonds. The bar graph under the
performance attribution section of Exhibit 21 indicates that we expect the
majority of returns to result from being invested in Canadian equities in 2011.
The Canadian equity component is expected to contribute 5.83% of the total
portfolio returns of 9.26% but it also contributes a disproportionately larger
portion of the volatility for the total portfolio at 7.35%.

Exhibit 21. Growth – Optimistic (In Local Currency)

Optimization
Our scenario analysis system for asset allocation also allows us to compare what
our original recommended asset allocation would be with recommended weights
that result from mathematically optimizing exposure across all possible asset
classes. Our asset mix models play a very important role in determining the
timing of our exposure to a variety of asset classes. Our floor and ceiling
calculations in Exhibit 5 result from our asset mix modes. It should be noted
that we also choose to alter our asset mix exposure anytime we observe
significant changes in U.S. bond yield levels and North American corporate
profitability. We steadfastly believe that making changes to asset
allocation on an arbitrary and infrequent basis (i.e., once a year or once
every two years) is extremely dangerous in the current environment. As
we have noted often in the last 15+ years, long-term average equity returns
were expected to collapse and did collapse starting in 1998 (3.67% p.a. for the
S&P 500 since then) and, yet, the S&P 500 recorded rallies and collapses of
+57%, –50%, +94%, –57% and +85% since 1998. Understanding and
adjusting to these market moves is crucial to investor success.

23
Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011

Choice Of Optimization
Using our SAS optimization techniques, we can optimize the portfolio based on
maximizing return, maximizing the Sharpe ratio (return to risk ratio) or
maximizing the total portfolio variance. In the last example, we might choose to
maximize total portfolio variance in order to reduce the total perceived portfolio
risk. In every case, our optimization techniques are creating thousands of
combinations of portfolios in order to achieve the necessary combination and
resulting asset mix for our return for various objectives. We must stress that the
recommended asset mix depends almost entirely on our forecasts. The
objective, however, is to use the forecast return and volatility of each asset class
as well as the correlation between asset classes to see what asset mix is
required for our objectives. In our case, we do this to see how much our
short-term, currently, recommended asset mix varies from the one-year
mathematically optimized version based on our own targets and assumptions.

Maximize Returns
For example, Exhibit 22 shows our currently recommended exposure to
Canadian equities, Canadian bonds and U.S. equities for our growth investor
profile, assuming our optimistic set of targets for 2011, while calculating these
returns in local currency terms. If our goal was to maximize return for a 10%
maximum total portfolio variance over the next 12 months then we should hold
10% U.S. equities instead of our currently recommended 20% and 50%
Canadian equities instead of 45%. Optimizing the portfolio with the goal of
maximizing returns at 10% total portfolio variance would also suggest that we
reduce Canadian bond exposure from 35% currently to 15% while raising the AA
Canadian corporate bond exposure to 20%. Our likely changes in the next few
months should be guided by these optimized results. If we could simply set our
asset allocation and leave it unchanged for an entire year and assuming that our
year-end targets are all perfectly correct this would be the correct implied asset
allocation for maximizing returns for the total portfolio.

Maximize Sharpe Ratio


If we choose to maximize the ratio of return to volatility (risk and volatility are
not exactly the same) rather than just maximizing portfolio return, then the
recommended weights are found under the column heading Sharpe Max in
Exhibit 22. For the purpose of this article, however, we want to consider what
the recommended asset allocation would be if our goal were to limit the total
portfolio variance.

Using A Growth Profile Allowable Range, Our Targets But


Reducing Portfolio Volatility
We note in Exhibit 21 that our current recommended asset location based on our
2011 targets implies a 9.26% return with a total volatility of 10.25% standard
deviation of returns. A more conservative asset allocation would resemble a
constant 45% equities, 45% bonds and 15% T-bill mix. We know from other
analysis that that would result in a total portfolio variance of approximately 8%.

If we optimize, therefore, the portfolio based on the total volatility of 8% but


incorporate our asset mix timing then the new recommended asset allocation is
shown under the “Return Max” column heading (refer to Exhibit 23). In this
case, the Canadian equity allocation remains at 45%, the Canadian bond
exposure would be reduced by 5% and AA Canadian corporate bond exposure
would rise from 0% to 20%. It appears that in order to reduce the variance of
the total portfolio, the optimization system chose to reduce the U.S. equity
exposure to zero in favor of Canadian AA corporates; of course, this assumes
that our targets for the various asset classes are correct. Nonetheless, it
supports our conclusion that, as long as U.S. bond yields remain below the
critical ceiling, a large portion of our expected returns should result from
Canadian equities.

Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011

Recent Performance Since August


2010
We are optimistic about the rate of return for U.S. and Canadian equities, as
long as the Fed can use the magic of quantitative easing to restrict the upward
movement in the 10-year U.S. Treasury. We have a long list of concerns with
respect to exogenous risk factors, which could materially change our outlook for
stocks and bonds in 2011. One of our near-term concerns stems from just how
dramatic the recent gains were from our over-weighted equity exposure while
the under-weighted bond portfolio recorded massive recent losses. Such
significant gains in such a short period of time are cause for concern.

In August 2010, we published our Investment Strategy Committee Prequel asset


mix document, in which we indicated that bond yields were unlikely to fall any
further near term and, in fact, were more likely to rise significantly. This also
supported our decision to remain over-weighted equities in order to capture the
anticipated gains in stock prices while simultaneously avoiding the bond losses.
From August 2010 until recently the TSX rose approximately 15% and the
S&P 500 rose approximately 21%, in local currency terms. Our over-weighted
equities exposure benefited the total portfolio return considerably and we
managed to avoid, entirely, the 5% loss from U.S. bonds that resulted in just
the last four months of 2010 by having no exposure to U.S. bonds in the growth
portfolio.

Our Overall Total Portfolio Returns Relative To Average


Balance Portfolios
Six of our seven investor profiles require that we maintain balanced portfolios of
various degrees, usually requiring that we have some exposure in asset classes
that we, otherwise, would prefer to avoid. The reason for doing so is, generally,
to have some degree of prudent diversification. For example, our relatively
traditional growth portfolio held a 35% exposure to Canadian bonds for the
purpose of improving diversification. Bond losses in the Canadian bond portfolio
were very slight at –0.92% compared with 5% loss from 10-year U.S. Treasury
bonds. By maintaining the correct overweight recommendation for stocks and
correctly underweighting bonds, we generated a significant 434 bps of
outperformance in just four months compared with a fixed 45% equities, 45%
bonds and 10% cash asset mix. Naturally, we would have experienced far
greater returns if we had been all stocks and no bonds but the prudent goal is to
try and correctly adjust asset mix while generally maintaining a balanced
portfolio. Fortunately, our total portfolio returns for the growth investor profile
amounted to 10.78% in a little over a four-month period. This is approximately
434 bps better than a portfolio with a fixed exposure of 45% in equities, 45% in
bonds and 10% in T-bills.

The sheer magnitude of these gains relative to a very conservative asset


allocation, and especially given the significant incremental returns in a very
short period of time, is enough to cause some concern in and of itself. The
combination of the rising bond yields in the U.S. and rising stock prices in the
U.S. and Canada resulted in massive outperformance from equities relative to
bonds. At the risk of being silly, the annualized return from U.S. equities
between August 2010 and the present was approximately 61%, while U.S.
bonds would have lost over 20% on an annualized basis. In fact, the annualized
total growth portfolio returns from August to the present was roughly 27%.
Given that the U.S. equity market has now risen 85% from the 2009 lows and
bond yields have risen from 2.04% to 3.33% during the same timeframe, we

26
Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011

are becoming increasingly concerned about how far the North American equity
markets can go from here. As we have stated, repeatedly, therefore, our
optimistic outlook for North American equities, as well as our gold and oil price
targets and our Canadian dollar outlook are extremely dependent on the Fed’s
ability to continue to successfully administer quantitative easing such that it can
keep this stock market recovery intact.

Detailed Targets For 2011


Exhibit 24 provides more detail as to the basis for our 2011 targets. It is our
current view that the TSX aggregate earnings will reach $830 as a result of
further earnings growth in the materials and energy sectors and a slight
recovery in the financial sector during 2011. Based on a 14,800 TSX price target
at year-end, the resulting top-down P/E would be approximately 17.83 times.
Our global portfolio system indicates that the median and bottom-up
weighted-average P/E based on current company prices divided by their
one-year forward operating earnings would be 14.92x and 14x, respectively.

Top Picks Of 2011 - January 17, 2011

It is difficult to reconcile the trailing operating ROE on both the median and
weighted-average basis with the one-year forward Street estimates of ROE. The
one-year forward ROE levels are roughly 200 bps to 300 bps higher than the
current trailing ROE for the TSX. Crucially, this is not the case for the S&P 500
where the ROE levels are considerably higher than the TSX levels at present, but
there is no evidence that the S&P 500 ROE is expected to grow significantly from
here.

It is very difficult in a weak economic environment to make a case for the


S&P 500 ROE growing robustly from the current very high weighted-average
level of 20%. This, too, is a cause for concern. If, however, S&P 500 ROE can
simply maintain the current 20% level then this would imply, at least, a 12%
internal growth rate in book value. If P/BV ratios were constant, this would imply
a 12% rise in the S&P 500 Index price. Since we anticipate some compression in
multiple levels, however, the resulting implied rise in the S&P 500 Index level
should be on the order of 8% or 9%. After adding in an S&P 500 dividend yield
of approximately 2%, we would expect the S&P 500 is capable of posting a 9%
to 10% total return for the year. As long as S&P 500 ROE is stable and bond
yields remain at satisfactory levels then a respectable rate of return is implied.

We would also expect that given the structural characteristics of the TSX and a
number of more favorable economic fundamentals in Canada, our market should
continue to trade at approximately 2 P/E multiple points higher than the
S&P 500. For example, our 1,384 S&P 500 target divided by $88 of earnings
results in a top-down price earnings ratio of 15.73 times. Although S&P 500
aggregate earnings are expected to rise from $79 recently to $88 by year-end
2011, there is little or no evidence of ROE growth. This could change if the U.S.
economy begins to demonstrate evidence of self-sustaining growth and
companies also begin to deploy the massive quantities of cash on their balance
sheets. It would appear, however, that during the next 12 months, we have far
greater potential to witness growth in TSX ROE from much lower levels than
those currently being recorded by the S&P 500.

Conclusion
To summarize, we remain optimistic about the outlook for North American
equities, but it is hard to imagine a time when our view has turned so
significantly on just one factor, namely quantitative easing. We believe that the
U.S. government is still determined to push the U.S. dollar devaluation further if
it can, but it can only do this as long as the 10-year U.S. Treasury remains
below the 3.8% level. All things considered, if we drew parallels with the equity
cycle which spanned the period from October 2002 to mid-2007, and given also
that the U.S. is emerging from recession, 2011 could resemble 2004. The S&P
500 was recording stronger ROE growth at that time and profitability was at
relatively higher levels, but then, as now, the key to sustaining the equity cycle
was the fact that bond yield stayed in the desired range. We believe, therefore,
it would be imprudent to simply set the asset allocation at the beginning of the
year and not consider the possibility of significant changes to the asset mix
throughout this year. This is really the test that the U.S. Federal Reserve faces.
We hope, just as the Fed probably does, that we begin during 2011 to see self-
sustaining growth with stable interest rates similar to 2004.

The equity cycle which began in October 2002 extended through the next five
years, ending in 2007. Other than 1998 and the stock market low of 2009, the
market tended to rise and fall over timeframes of about one-and-a-half to
three-year intervals. The current rally is now about 85% since the market low of
2009, two years ago, and the Fed must find a way of sustaining the economic
expansion and stock market rally for, at least, another two to three years.
Admittedly, its actions are unprecedented, but, so far, the magic of quantitative
easing is working.

Investment Thesis, Key Stock Catalysts and Asset Overview Risked NAV $8.22
Investment Thesis: We have a Sector Outperformer rating on Angle with a 12-18 month P/Risked NAV 96%
target price of $9.25/share as Angle has best in class operating costs (2011E $6.25/Boe vs. P/Risked NAV (Group Average) 89%
group at ~$9.55/Boe), and its asset portfolio has exposure to both high impact natural gas Fiscal Year End December
(Falher/Wilrich) and oil (Viking/Cardium) development opportunities. We also see Angle as a
safe way for investors to get exposure to natural gas given the company's solid operating cost Financial Flexibility ($MM)
and the high liquids content of its gas production. Bankers: CIBC, ATB and BMO 2009A 2010E 2011E
Key Catalysts: Catalyst for Angle include continued drilling success by the company and Cash Flow from Operations $40.2 $60.8 $106.4
industry in the Viking light oil play in Harmattan and Falher/Wilrich tight gas play in Edson. Development Spending 5. $44.3 $187.0 $150.0
Key Assets: Key assets are the Viking drilling inventory of approximately 195 wells in the Total Net Debt at Year-end ($38.3) $163.5 $147.9
Harmattan area, Cardium and Ellerslie rights in Ferrier, and tight gas assets at Edson. Total Debt / CF (Y/E Debt To Year CF) (1.0x) 2.7x 1.4x
Relative Valuation: Angle is currently trading at a Price to Risked NAV ratio of 96% and a Group Average 1.7x 1.5x
2011E EV/DACF multiple of 6.8x (versus the group averages of 89% and 7.2x, respectively). Total Credit Facility - Current $180.0

SUMMARY & INVESTMENT THESIS PROPERTY OVERVIEW
Investment Thesis: We have a Sector Outperformer rating on Daylight Energy Ltd. with a 12-18 month price
target of $13.50/share. We believe shares of Daylight represent excellent value at current levels. In addition
we would highlight Daylight as excellent way to play natural gas defensively, as we believe that investors are
currently paying for little or none of Daylight's significant natural gas resource potential.
Potential Catalysts: Potential near term catalysts include year-end results/reserve reporting (expected in
early March). We would also highlight the possibility of Daylight striking a joint venture at Elmworth (AB) to
develop is natural gas resource plays.
Key Assets: Key assets include Daylight's Cardium tight oil at Pembina (AB), and its natural gas resource
plays at Elmworth (AB) which is prospective for the Nikanassin, Cadomin, Montney, and Bluesky formations.
Other notable assets include its and Belly River light oil play at Pembina (AB).
Relative Valuation: Daylight is currently trading at a Price to Risked NAV ratio of 76% and a 2011E EV/DACF
multiple of 6.5x (versus the group averages of 94% and 9.1x, respectively) while providing a current yield of
6.1% (versus the group average of 5.3%). Our 12-18 month price target of $13.50/share is based on a 1.1x
target multiple to our Risked NAV of $12.95/share (less forecast dividends of $0.60/share) versus the group
average of 1.1x.

SUMMARY & INVESTMENT THESIS PROPERTY OVERVIEW
Investment Thesis: We have a Sector Outperformer rating on NAL Energy Corp. with a 12-18 month price
target of $16.00/share. With a 7% yield (vs. the average of 5.3%), attractive Cardium acreage, and a strong
balance sheet, NAL is our top pick for yield focused investors.
Potential Catalysts: Potential near term catalysts include 2011 guidance and an operational update
(expected on Jan. 25th, after mkt.), as well as year-end results/reserve reporting (expected on Mar. 9th, after
mkt.). We believe NAL’s track record of operational execution bodes well for the upcoming update, and
evidences its high-quality asset base.
Key Assets: Key assets include NAL’s Cardium tight oil at Garrington & Cochrane (southern AB), and its
conventional Mississippian light oil play (southeast SK). Other notable assets include its Viking light oil play at
Provost/Irricana (AB), its Wabamun oil asset (AB), and its Doig gas play (northeast B.C.).
Relative Valuation: NAL is currently trading at a Price to Risked NAV ratio of 87% and a 2011E EV/DACF
multiple of 7.0x (versus the group averages of 94% and 9.1x, respectively) while providing a current yield of
6.5% (versus the group average of 5.3%). Our 12-18 month price target of $16.00/share is based on a 1.1x
target multiple to our Risked NAV of $15.04/share (less forecast dividends of $0.86/share) versus the group
average of 1.1x.

SUMMARY & INVESTMENT THESIS PROPERTY OVERVIEW
Investment Thesis: We have a Sector Outperformer rating on Penn West Exploration with a 12-18 month
price target of $32.00/share. At current levels, we believe Penn West’s compelling resource potential justifies
its place as one of our top ‘value picks’ today. We expect Penn West will begin to translate its resource
potential into production growth early in 2011, potentially unlocking a step change in valuation for the stock.
Potential Catalysts: Potential near term catalysts include year-end results/reserve reporting (expected on
Feb. 17th). Key to executing on production growth will be Penn West’s ability to tie-in its target of 160 wells in
Q4/10 (which compares to 110 wells tied in during the first 3 quarters of the year).
Key Assets: Key assets include Penn West’s tight oil plays in the Cardium (AB), the Amaranth (MB), the
Viking (SK & AB), and the tight Carbonates (AB). Other notable assets include its heavy oil resource play at
Seal (AB) and its emerging shale gas play in the Cordova Embayment (northeast BC).
Relative Valuation: Penn West is currently trading at a Price to Risked NAV ratio of 77% and a 2011E
EV/DACF multiple of 8.8x (versus the group averages of 94% and 9.1x, respectively) while providing a current
yield of 4.3% (versus the group average of 5.3%). Our 12-18 month price target of $32.00/share is based on a
1.0x target multiple to our Risked NAV of $32.58/share (less forecast dividends of $1.08/share) versus the
group average of 1.1x.
