Whether in good economic times or in bad, most businesses have the need for a short-term source of capital, particularly if they’re extending credit to their customers (i.e. giving them time to pay) or manufacturing a tangible product. This capital often comes in the form of a business line of credit, whereby a business can borrow money to purchase raw material inventory and carry other expenses associated with the production and sale of a finished good, only to pay it back a short time later, once a sale is made and the proceeds of the sale are actually collected. In the business vernacular, this is referred to as a business’s cash conversion cycle or, simply, how long it takes to convert one dollar invested in the business today into one dollar of cash revenue collected at some point in the future.

In hindsight, it seems that last December might have been a reasonable time to consider additional economic stimulus in the form of a Federal Reserve Bank interest rate cut. By Christmas of 2018, the U.S. government was in the midst of a 35-day shutdown that lasted from December 22nd to January 25th. Our country had imposed tariffs of between 10 and 25% on $250 billion of Chinese imports, and China had responded by imposing retaliatory tariffs on $50 billion of U.S. exports to China. Fears over additional tariffs, slowing global growth, slowing corporate profits in the U.S. and a Federal Reserve Bank bent on raising interest rates three times in 2019 (for a total of 12 rate hikes since 2015) and two additional times in 2020 had spooked investors. As a result, and on an intra-day basis, the Dow Jones Industrial average fell almost 17.5% from November 8th to December 26th and approximately 19.5% over the entire fourth quarter of 2018. Market pullbacks of 20% or more have typically been associated with recession but, as we know, the Fed chose not to take any action at that time and the current U.S. expansion has yet to end in recession.

The idea of environmental, social and governance-friendly (ESG) investing has been around for quite a while now; long enough, in fact, that many financial institutions (including ours) are now offering customized ESG portfolios to their clients. Our standard ESG growth portfolio boasts internal fund expenses of only 0.44%, for an account with 78% stock and 22% bonds/cash, and this particular portfolio has only a 3.71% allocation to energy. But what do you do when a client wants a portfolio with absolutely ZERO energy exposure, because energy is synonymous with fossil fuels and fossil fuels are destroying the planet? You find a solution that meets the client’s needs!
