Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Events over the past 12 months have increased the risk of stagflation and higher government spending. The Iran conflict could become the next major fiscal shock, further worsening fiscal outlooks and impacting bond markets. Emerging market local bonds generated attractive income from yields, while precious metals gained amid persistent macro uncertainty. High-yielding local bond positions, particularly in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Hungary and South Africa, all contributed positively. Gold and silver positions supported returns, though positions were reduced towards the end of the period given USD strength. Exposure to oil delivered strong contributions to fund performance, as the Iran conflict started. Derivative positions were used primarily to gain exposure to core commodity markets, such as oil, and for FX hedging. The fund exceeded its performance target, as a result of the active shift from income and gold to a more energy heavy allocation.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The U.S. market has gained over the course of the year but the overall return masks significant volatility during the period. The Fund also rose against this backdrop, but lagged the index in net terms. The equity portfolio slightly trailed the wider market, while the call option overlay strategy contributed positively. The index replication-style equity portfolio aims to provide broad S&P500 exposure via a subset that currently consists of 88 stocks. Position sizing is risk-based, using an optimizer that seeks to minimize the tracking error of the equity basket relative to the index. Over the period, most of the relative lag for the equity portfolio came from names not held but which performed well. The option strategy seeks to enhance the dividend income from the underlying equity portfolio. It does so by selling some of the potential capital growth on selected stocks on a rolling short term basis in return for a premium. Given this trade-off, we would typically expect the strategy to lag a similar, long only equity portfolio in fast rising markets. As stocks fall, remain flat or rise gently, the Fund can benefit from the premium received from selling the call options. While supplementing the income over the 12 months, the option strategy was a positive contributor in performance terms.
