Market environment

April was a difficult month for equities and bonds due to higher-than-anticipated US inflation and persistently solid growth. This led the markets to lower their expectations of imminent rate cuts at the Federal Reserve, pushing up bond yields and pressurising share prices. European equities have held up better than their US peers, benefitting from brighter growth prospects and a less worrisome inflation trend. US rate cuts seem further away, but local economic data suggests that the European Central Bank is still on track to lower its interest rates in June. Equities were down but credit markets performed relatively well. Investment grade spreads tightened further in both the United States and Europe. The month also brought announcements of Q1 results. Although most companies beat forecasts, the markets were more willing than usual to punish those who fell short. Elsewhere, the wider spread between the interest rates of Japan and other developed countries exerted downside pressure on the yen and raised concerns about the effect of imported inflation on Japanese domestic demand.

Performance commentary

In a complex environment, the Fund posted a negative performance but fared better than its reference indicator. Our selection of healthcare and technology stocks such as SAP (-5%) and Lonza (-6%) was the main hindrance. However, our macroeconomic diversification on the equity market helped limit the damage as gold, copper and our equity and volatility index hedges raised performance. On the fixed income side, the portfolio’s low modified duration and credit hedging positions held at the beginning of the month cushioned the impact of rising core yields. The Fund’s yen exposure weighed on performance as Japan’s currency lost even more ground to the euro before its authorities intervened. Overall, the positive correlation between equities and bonds proved detrimental, although our diversifying positions on commodities and our risky asset hedging cushioned the blow.

Outlook strategy

The first part of the year was notable for a simultaneous global recovery and synchronised monetary easing, which was very good for equity markets in general. However, volatility has reared its head in recent weeks. The markets are seeking a new equilibrium that can reflect encouraging news about economic growth and corporate earnings on the one hand, and concerns about inflation on the other. We therefore think the simultaneous recovery will continue over the coming months, but expect greater divergence between the main central banks’ respective monetary policies. This situation should continue to benefit risky assets but may create more volatility on the markets. In light of this, we are keeping equity exposure high but diversifying towards commodities in particular. On the fixed income side, we are keeping modified duration low given the lack of visibility over any future rate cuts. To protect the Fund from increased volatility, we have introduced option strategies on the main share indices and on volatility itself, taking advantage of some cheap hedging.
