1 IPS Dynamic 70 (Pension) Quarterly Report As of 31/03/2018 First quarter 2018 The volatility that we experienced in financial markets during early February resurfaced in March, with Australian and international share markets falling over the month and quarter. The portfolio delivered a positive return over the month, despite very difficult market conditions. Performance over the quarter was slightly negative, while over the past 3 years performance has been strong and in the 1st quartile when compared to similar funds. Your portfolio continues to incorporate a mix of different investment strategies designed to both mitigate risks and seek positive returns. After two years in which share markets advanced steadily with unusually low volatility, suddenly in the first quarter of 2018 we saw a sharp increase in financial market instability. Why has this happened? While there are always a multitude of factors at work, in our view, the main culprit is U.S. central bank policy. The U.S. Federal Reserve has now raised interest rates five times and is several months into unwinding its very accommodative monetary policy. After the global financial crisis (GFC) in 2009, central banks around the world responded by pushing interest rates to extremely low levels and flooding the banking system with capital through a program referred to as Quantitative Easing. This was designed both to stimulate the economy directly and, to some degree, push up financial market valuations in the hope that rising asset prices would lead to increased confidence in the real economy. After a period of unprecedented stimulus, central banks are now gradually unwinding the emergency measures they put in place almost a decade ago. In many ways, this is good news. Central banks confidence suggests that they believe many economies have finally recovered from the GFC and that interest rates can now start to return to more normal levels. However, the transition from quantitative easing and near-zero interest rates is without precedent and the market s adjustment to a world without stimulus will continue to be more volatile than some anticipated.
