Investment Commentary

Despite global equity markets getting off to a bumpy start this month, they managed to finish November in positive territory (+1.8% by the MSCI AC World) for the 13th consecutive month. Emerging markets turned in more modest gains (+0.2% by the MSCI Emerging in US dollar terms), due to declines in Latin American markets (e.g. -3.2% in the Brazilian index, in local currency) and very modest gains in emerging Asia, which was shaken by the run-up in Chinese bond yields. At their 30 November summit, OPEC and its partners decided to extend their output reduction agreement by another nine months, until the end of 2018. This decision was no surprise, given the statements that had already been made by some of the big players. After nearing USD 59/bbl during the month (a high since mid-2015) WTI Crude ended at USD 57.4/bbl., up 5.6% from end October. The top-performing developed markets were Japan (+3.2% by the Nikkei 225) and the US (+2.8% by the S&P 500), while European markets finished lower (-2.2% for the FTSE100 and -2.8% for the EuroStoxx 50).

In the monetary policy arena, we saw the UK raise interest rates for the first time in a decade. The Bank of England were as good as their word confirming a well telegraphed rate hike. Despite the best intentions from the Bank we feel the risk of further rate hikes as unlikely in the near term, as inflation rolls over and the focus switches to concerns over Brexit negotiations. Especially notable was the dissention of two of Carney’s Deputy Governors, voting against his 25bps rate hike. This was a reflection of nervousness over any potential wage growth inflation and could be less responsive to falling unemployment than past experience would suggest. The market reaction was a little counter-intuitive. Financial conditions eased: the pound fell; gilts rallied. In other words,

the cumulative impact of the Bank’s decision to raise rates and the communication that followed had the net effect of loosening the effective stance relative to what it was the moment before the hike was announced. Again, this could be seen as a result of the groundwork already undertaken by the BoE and the fact the hike was almost fully priced at that point. Taken in the longer term context, the Committee has still managed to tighten financial conditions relative to say late in the summer, but this could also be framed as an unwinding of the ‘emergency reaction’ rate cut that followed the Brexit referendum vote last year.

Month on Month change in the 10-year Gilt Yield was largely unchanged despite the rate hike. Key yields in both the US and Germany followed a similar directionless pattern, but Eurozone peripheral yields did compress further shrugging off any prospect of the ECB reducing the pace of asset purchases in January.

Elsewhere President Trump announced his nomination of Janet Yellen’s successor as the Chair of the US Fed. The appointment confirmed recent strong rumours that Jerome Powell will take over as Fed chairman in February which the market took in its stride as the continuation candidate. “Jay” Powell has sat on the FOMC since May 2012, during which time he has expressed no opposition to the conduct of monetary policy. During his Senate confirmation hearing, he said he was firmly in favour of continuity, even suggesting that the Fed could do more to support the job market.

In FX markets, Sterling did appreciate versus the USD in November by around 1.8% but was largely flat against the EUR as Brexit negotiations continue in earnest.

The income generated for the IFSL Sinfonia Income Portfolio and IFSL Sinfonia Income & Growth Portfolios is based on natural income whereby distributions are generated by the underlying assets of the fund. This can include dividends from equities or interest from fixed interest holdings.

Quarterly or bi-annual income distributions can vary due to the synchronisation of the underlying fund distributions. E.g. if the underlying fund pays half year dividends on 31st March then that income will be paid in the following quarter’s distributions for the IFSL Portfolios.

Important Information

Past performance is not a guide to the future performance. Investments can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. This can be as a result of market movements and exchange rates between currencies. The Fund may invest in fixed interest funds, which are subject to market and credit risk and will be impacted by interest rates. The Fund’s underlying investments may include emerging markets which may be less liquid and more volatile than more developed markets.

Asset Class Returns

Wondering which asset class to invest in for the best returns? Good luck! An asset class is a broad group of securities or investments that have similar financial characteristics, such as gilts or equities. The chart below shows the best performing to worst performing asset class each year. No single asset class is a consistent winner which is why having a blend of assets is so important.

Asset Class Returns

Diversification reduces risk Predicting market movements over the long-term is impossible. It is very rare for a single asset class to outperform another consistently. That’s why it makes sense to invest in a wide range of different assets rather than try to predict short-term market movements. Over time, a diversified portfolio could smooth your overall return, giving you a more balanced and consistent outcome compared to a single asset portfolio.

Your financial adviser can help you decide which IFSL Sinfonia portfolio best suits your personal circumstances, time horizon, capacity for loss and attitude to risk. Each portfolio invests in a wide range of assets and is managed to a set level of risk. Because the portfolios are risk targeted, they will always stay at the same level of risk.
