2:09 pm
what is going on right now, do you think? francine: the mood is very somber. a couple of people saying they voted to leave, but they were not expecting the prime minister to resign quite so abruptly and quickly. david cameron keeping a short statement, saying he will resign , opening the way for a new contest of leadership for the tory party westminster team went out and we picked up the london evening standard and i was surprised about how the debate had shifted, the tone is very neutral, it is really summer that's extremely somber. there's none of the animosity that we saw in the debate. people are under shock, try to keep a cool head. nobody knows what comes up next.
2:10 pm
we don't know who will lead the tory party. coup may be some kind of within the labour party. david: i'm curious as to what the timetable is going forward. the notion of retribution came out that other eu members might take action against the united kingdom. ryan: there is definitely a danger of that. many countries in the lead up to brexit threaten the u.k. saying if the u.k. is going to leave, it will not get any preferential treatment after. it will not have the same privileges. the timetable is this. effectively, the entire eu is in soul-searching mode.

2:18 pm
caught up in short-term challenges. this does not change how we work with clients in terms of like being -- taking a longer-term view. vonnie: do you have a different view of how the u.s. economy will fare because of this? of this, it ist likely because of the protracted nature of the exit, it will take a couple years to make this separation actually happen. we don't know what the outcomes of this are going to be for even longer because it's five to 10 years. in the immediate term, it will clearly be an overhang. there will be a lot of uncertainty. it will be an overhang, for sure. there is clearly going to be a growth. drag on
2:19 pm
globally as well, it will impact that. it's going to foster the environment of lower for much longer. maybe not being said and i don't have answers to it to be honest with you, but what is interesting is who might benefit from this when we look at significant dislocations or disruptions in the marketplace, while we tend to focus on who's getting impacted from a negative standpoint, it's clear that there could be some countries and regions that could win from this. as things change in the u.k., that will imply other potentially positive effects for other regions or countries. jon: nine at 10 u.s. equity groups negative.
2:20 pm
why is jpmorgan down 6.2% on the back of this? is it just intense risk aversion ? it is a bit of an overreaction. -- ir case, the reality is don't mean to minimize this, but with the way our company is , the impact on legg mason is fairly modest heard at least the direct impact is fairly modest. next months over the of investor confidence and how and quarters and years in terms that could impact our business, that is a pair that's a fair question. the way our stock is being impacted today, there is a -- what is thes direct impact? how much of your business is actually being directly affected by this business in the u.k. or
2:21 pm
eu? it is harder to assess that than just one day of trading. in my view, it is a bit of an overreaction. , the dust will settle a bit and people will be able to better quantify it. operationsarding the of your day-to-day business, how much have you been invested in the u.k.? are you in there putting more money to work now? joe: there has been some discussion. we have managers across asset classes with a number of affiliates and they all have their own different approaches and theses with respect to the markets. there are some who are thinking that certainly the u.k. but also some of the impacted markets, emerging markets are getting a
2:22 pm
fairly attractive -- it could be interesting, opportunistic. all of our managers going into this did not have a big bet one way or the other. they were all thoughtfully positioned during the day today. a lot of handholding, a lot of conversations, a lot of connecting with our managers to talk about how they view the impact of all of this. it has been a pretty turbulent day and challenging day. david: i have to assume this will signal some broader strategic shift. you have countries around the world looking inward, focusing on nationalist ideals here. but has to signal something. i think you are saying a couple of different things there. on the one hand, i agree that this vote is reflective of a
2:23 pm
, somewhat voter disenfranchised -- what is going on in the u.s. with what's going on with the election, there the meaningful potential for a contagion, certainly in the you -- eu. governments need to understand and hear what the people are saying clearly. a significant dissatisfaction with government. whether it be slow economic growth or wage growth or immigration, there's a lot of people who feel disenfranchised. they're listening to and responding to those with a more strident view of how to solve his problems. your stock is down almost 10% on the session. you say there is no real
2:24 pm
fundamental reason for that. you make a decision to step and personally as an individual with a significant holding in the company nsa chief executive as well? would you buy the stock back? joe: i have done that. we had a selloff and some weakness in our stock earlier in the year and i brought that i bought a significant amount of stock for my own account. we have an active share repurchase program in place. we find these to be attractive levels. i don't think there's no reason -- clearly come anytime there's this kind of turbulence and volatility in the markets, that will always impact financials. i think it is just the reaction has been overreaction. not trulyion grounded in the make up of our business. you have a wave of selling here
2:25 pm
now. --r time, there will be some i never been afraid to buy our own stock. the company itself does have an ongoing share repurchase program. where opportunity might be -- are you looking to emerging markets? do you have an inclination of where there might be opportunity? joe: emerging markets has been under pressure for several years now. this will put them under more pressure. mother oughthere to be some opportunities to be thoughtful and selective about various emerging markets, economies and companies or countries within those. think about it, the greatest potential for long-term global growth continues to be with the emerging markets. bit of ag to be a

2:35 pm
to stimulate demand goo. when will that become necessary? >> if the u.k. does get pushed into recession, they will cut rates to the zero lower bound. i'm doubtful view cable cut rates in the negative territory like the ecb has done or bank of japan has done. they will cut rates to zero but after that, they could either ortart quantitative easing just to transfer money straight to households, which would be a lot more efficient and a lot less risky than negative rates. you question how much of a stimulus you will get from sterling. --lds down 30 basis points

lowers the bar for japanese intervention. up until now, i've been adamant that the bank of japan would not intervene. conditions have changed, markets are more volatile. it is not a level like 100 or 90 or 95. it is how fast we get there. if it is a slow, gradual appreciation of the yen, that is fine, acceptable. if it is volatile like this, dramatic, it will have spillover effects if they have to respond. vonnie: when does sterling ?tabilize of stillombination adjusting to the economic the camp arguing for brexit said there would not be much of an economic impact. hady come anybody that pension money tied up in the u.k. equity market suffered. anyone that had four and investors that had british equities suffered -- foreign

vote, the nationalism that is hasng up on the continent been fostered by this vote. we will have to see how well the european leaders and the u.s. can work to keep it all together. how sympathetic were you to the concerns of the leave campaign? ivo: there was this feeling that there was a systematic democracy imposing its will on the people and that is not just in britain. it is felt in other parts of europe as well. including the netherlands and france, two countries that were part of the original european economic community when it was formed in the late 1950's. having lossense of of control, of not being able to see what's going on and wanting there needs to be a
