| Fund Overview | |
| Manager Comments | The biggest contribution to performance for the Fund was the overweight index position in China. Chinese stocks continue to do well as monetary policy is eased further as the government tries to moderate what is now clearly a slowing in the long term growth rate. The Fund expects much of the newer money to prefer to buy the Hong Kong listed shares of major Chinese companies for convenience, and because of the significant price gap that is now apparent. The main detractors from performance were two long held positions in Axis Bank from India and US fund manager Ameriprise. Axis reported excellent results but has been caught up in a general slide in Indian stocks. Ameriprise reported results below market expectations and there was hit by worries about tougher rules in the US financial advisory industry. We believe these are temporary concerns and Ameriprise actually stands to benefit from these legislative changes in the USA. Click below to read the complete April 2015 Fund Report. |
