Just a quick update here as I’m watching the vote live and all the market opens this morning.

As of 1430 HKT Jun 24th, 2016:

A New Reality:
Final Result LEAVE CAMP wins with 51.9% of the votes

  • Pound suffers most dropping below $1.40 for the first time since 1985 (-8% today)
  • The domino effect is starting around the markets worldwide with Europe opening up for the trading day.
  • PM Cameron RESIGNS and mentions a new PM for October.
  • Possible more QE, with BofE and other banks around the world looking to stabilise.
  • Financials worst hit.  HSBC down -8.9%.
  • FTSE -8.8%
  • Nikkei -7.9%
  • Margin calls hit.  And investors are not getting right back in as they normally would.
  • Smart Money, was on REMAIN, and has got it very wrong.
  • PROS
    • Gold heads past $1300/oz
    • Our Model Portfolios relatively less affected with the declines!

 

I will post the results of the impact on the Model Portfolios once the day closes and I have the prices.

I am congratulating my team for the correct call on Gold back in Feb @ $1100/oz and also the proper allocation of risk with 75-80% of the portfolio in allocation and cash funds.

Best,
Michael
