Take a look at the Fund's performance supported by our Fund managers’ market commentary and strategy insight.

Our monthly comments

Data as of:  31 Jul 2024.
Fund management team

Market environment

  • In the US, the economy is slowly paving the way for a soft landing, with job creation and retail sales easing over the month. At the same time, inflation continued to trend lower. In Europe, growth surprised to the upside at +0.3% in the second quarter, while inflation picked up slightly.

  • As expected, the Fed left short-term rates unchanged during their July meeting. However, the combination of a less dynamic job growth and lower inflation sets the stage for the Fed to potentially lower rates in September.

  • The Bank of Japan raised interest rates for the first time in 15 years and unveiled a detailed plan to slow its massive bond buying, taking another step towards normalization.

  • In July, political volatility came from the US. Trump survived an assassination attempt, Biden ended his 2024 candidacy, and Harris' nomination boosted Democrats' standing in the polls, hinting at a closely contested election.

  • Equity market underwent a significant rotation during the month, with small cap and value stocks performing well and outperforming mega cap and growth stocks.

  • Yield have declined meaning over the month both in Europe and the US, while the yield curve steepens. In the credit market, investment grade (IG) bonds outperformed high yield bonds.

Performance commentary

  • Against this backdrop, the fund delivered a positive performance in July.
  • Our portfolio of equities penalized the strategy over the period, whereas our selection of fixed-income and alternative funds was profitable.
