3 MANAGER OVERVIEW The PROFILES performed well over the past 12-months, during what has proven to be a challenging time for interest rate sensitive markets. In fixed income, our yield curve flattening strategy and high yield debt overweight contributed positively to performance. Whilst emerging markets (EM) initially performed well, the correction that began in January 2018 has left the asset class in negative territory, detracting from performance. During the period, we reduced exposure to EM and increased our allocation to short-dated fixed and floating rate bonds, which offer attractive yields and an improved risk return profile. In the equity space, we reduced exposure to the UK and EM and increased the allocation to US, which outperformed on a regional basis. Within the US, our preference for US small cap stocks performed particularly well. We also rotated our core exposure from traditional market cap weighted indices towards smart beta trading strategies such as Multifactor and Minimum Volatility. This trade worked well across all regions, except in the US due to the rally in the FAANG stocks (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google). In the alternative space, property equities delivered positive returns whilst our commodity exposure was flat. In late May, we switched into a broader basket of physical commodities via a swap-based ETF, adding a further layer of diversification. Finally, our currency overlay strategy continues to protect the portfolios from excess levels of volatility. Sterling has been trading erratically and will likely continue to do so until further progress is made on the Brexit negotiations. Below we include our monthly Sterling chart, showing the month end GBP/USD rate of 1.30, which is below the 1, 5, 10 and 20-year averages. The chart also highlight s Sterling s purchasing power parity (PPP) as well as Capital Economics forecast for a return to 1.45 by the end of Sterling Undervalued v US Dollar 2.0 GBP/USD Capital Economics 2019 GBP/USD Forecast GBP/USD Historic Averages GBP/USD Purchasing Power Parity Average Sterling PPP Average 20-Year: Year: Year: Year: Actual Data: 09/09/1988 to 28/09/18.
