Benefits

  • Fund targets to achieve consistent absolute returns across the economic cycle
  • Systematic investment approach – based on proprietary models developed over the past 23 years
  • Use of leverage is possible, the net exposure is usually between 120% and 150%
  • Possibility to make short investments if the market environment offers appropriate opportunities to do so
  • UCITS V regulated absolute return strategy with daily liquidity

Risks

  • The fund may engage in derivatives transactions. The increased opportunities gained come with an increased risk of losses
  • The fund may invest part of its assets in bonds. Their issuers may become insolvent
  • The investment in fixed-interest securities gives rise to interest rate risks
  • Investing in emerging markets entails the additional risk of political and social instability
  • The fund invests in foreign currencies, which means a corresponding degree of currency risk against the reference currency


The fund returned 0.4% in November with a volatility of 2.0%. During the month, the MSCI World Equity Index gained 4.9%, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Government Index rose 1.0% and commodities lost 0.1%, all in EUR-hedged terms.

This month’s contributors to the fund performance were non-government bonds 0.22%, equities 0.19%, government bonds 0.13% and gold 0.13%. Optimism about economic growth following Trump’s re-election supported risk-on assets and weakened gold. Non-government bonds benefited from holdings in Coco and emerging market bonds. Equities gained from US market investments but were impacted by Chinese IT stocks. Government bonds saw volatility but ended positively thanks to the nomination of pro-market Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The US 10-year Treasury yield fell by 12 bps to 4.2%. Gold dropped 1.1% in EUR terms.

During the month, we increased the equity allocation from 15% to 17%, reflecting our more constructive view on economic growth. We maintained the allocations to long-term government bonds and non-government bonds at 26% and 35%, respectively. Portfolio duration was stable at 2.9 years vs the long-term average of 3.7 years. The main hedges of the fund are the 26% long-term government bond, the 14% USD and the 5% gold exposures.


During our March 6 review, we noted the resilience of the US economy and lowered the overall weight of the recession scenarios:

Scenario 1, weight increased to 30% from 25%: Investments in IT accelerate, central banks end rate increases, inflation falls. The market continues to rally. Economic indicators are mixed. The economy is recovering in the US while it is still weak in Europe. Any positive economic news, such as booming artificial intelligence (AI) related investments or a recovery in manufacturing PMIs, would be positive for equity and credit markets. This is neutral to negative for government bonds and negative for the USD.

Scenario 2, weight maintained at 50%: The US economy drifts into a mild recession. Several mitigating factors are likely to dampen the market correction and result in a loss of 5-10%: liquidity is still abundant, PMIs have reached a bottom and the boom in AI-related investments continues. This scenario is negative for credit and slightly positive for government bonds.

Scenario 3, weight lowered to 20% from 25%: Credit conditions in the US deteriorate, developed economies fall into a global recession. Under this scenario, inflation persists, and the Fed’s restrictive monetary policy starts to impact the economy. Equity and credit markets correct. This is positive for government bonds, the USD and potentially gold.
