Swiss retail turnover is expected to fall by around 0.5 percent in 2010, according to the annual survey of the retail trade by Credit Suisse and consulting firm Fuhrer & Hotz. This exclusive survey among decision-makers in the retail trade and manufacturing industry suggests that underlying sentiment is still positive for 2010. The economists at Credit Suisse take a cautious stance, however, as they see consumer sentiment being impaired by rising unemployment in 2010. The continued fall in inward migration should lend positive, albeit declining, impetus to the retail trade.

Despite the recession, the Swiss construction sector is still very active. This phase, however, now appears to be coming to an end. After commercial construction began turning down at the beginning of the year, only a recent surge in residential construction is preventing a sharper drop in structural engineering. A large volume of civil engineering work has maintained the momentum of the industry as a whole so far, but in the long run, civil engineering won't be able to take up the increasing slack in structural engineering, and the entire construction industry will be gripped by a downturn. Construction activity in Switzerland did in fact decline again in the fourth quarter. These are the findings of the new Swiss Construction Index, which today saw its public launch. The results of a venture between the economists of Credit Suisse and the Swiss Contractors' Association, the Swiss Construction Index provides a snapshot of the economic state of Switzerland's construction industry, thus closing a gap in the provision of economic data.

Long/Short Equity and Emerging Markets managers experienced another positive month driven by equity market
gains in September. At the end of the best quarter since 1998 for the Dow Jones Index, which had a gain of nearly
15%, market sentiment was bolstered by several positive macro indicators, such as an increase in the Global
Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) that signaled expanding manufacturing output and pointed to a continuing
stabilization of global economic activity. Inflation continued its moderate downward trend in the U.S. and in the
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, while central banks overall maintained
low interest rates in the face of a weak recovery. Many equity indices finished in positive territory, although there were
some late market corrections following reports of worse-than-expected U.S. home sales.
