| Fund Overview | |
| Manager Comments | The Fund ended the month underweight the US and overweight Japan, Europe and Emerging Markets; reflecting the view that a trend that began in April of industrial and cyclical stocks outperforming more defensive equities is set to continue. Accelerating global demand and ample liquidity should be a potent mix for shares and the Fund is therefore fully invested. Forward indicators for growth across many countries are accelerating at rates not seen for more than two years and Chinese 'hard landing' fears have receded. The biggest single risk is the US budgetary battle. While the Manager's core view is that this will be resolved, the implications of protracted negotiations could be material. The Manager has therefore established a number of hedges to protect from short term volatility and the tail risks associated with a US technical default on its obligations. |
