1 FOR PROFESSIONAL AND INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS USE ONLY PLEASE READ IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES INVESTMENT COMMENTARY NOV 2018 World Mining Fund A sub- fund of BlackRock Global Funds Fund Manager(s): Evy Hambro Olivia Markham Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed. You may not get back the amount originally invested. Changes in the rates of exchange between currencies may cause the value of investments to diminish or increase. Fluctuation may be particularly marked in the case of a higher volatility fund and the value of an investment may fall suddenly and substantially. Levels and basis of taxation may change from time to time. Past Performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future results and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product or strategy. Performance The Fund fell by 4.7% over the month, underperforming its benchmark, which was down by 2.6%. November was a negative month for the mining sector, as trade-war concerns continued to weigh on global economic growth expectations. The US Treasury yield curve inverted during the month, with yields for some shorter-dated Treasuries rising above those of some longer-dated ones. Importantly, however, the 10-year yield remained just above that of the 2-year. Inverting of the yield curve is typically viewed as a predictor of an impending recession. Market concerns also heightened around a potential faster-than-expected slowdown in China, as economic indicators such as manufacturing purchasing managers indices and loans data continued to soften. Our base case is that China will successfully manage a gradual slowdown, and it has been encouraging to see increased infrastructure spending coming through. Amid this macroeconomic backdrop, mined commodity performance was relatively resilient. We believe this reflects supply and demand in the physical markets for mined commodities still being healthy. Base metals performed well, with copper, zinc and aluminium up 3.2%, 4.1% and 1.2%, respectively. Precious metals also performed positively, with gold rising 0.3%, as broader equity-market weakness in the first half of the month stoked safe-haven buying. Having held up well so far in 2018, the bulk commodities were weak in November, with the iron-ore (62% Fe) price falling by 13.9%, for example. This appeared to reflect destocking by steel companies in response to declining margins and lower-thanexpected winter production cuts. While the move in iron ore was a sharp one, it s worth noting that the iron-ore (62% Fe) price has averaged $70/tonne this year, which, for diversified miners with average costs of delivery of iron ore (62% Fe) into China below $30/tonne, indicates very strong margins. The Fund s holdings in companies exposed to steel and iron ore were the main drag on relative performance during the month. Overweight positions in Bradespar, BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Arcelormittal were among the largest detractors, for example. Our underweight to the gold sector overall also negatively impacted relative performance, as gold companies outperformed broader mining stocks. However, our overweight positions in our favoured gold names, such as Newmont Mining, Randgold Resources and Franco Nevada, were positive contributors. Lastly, our overweight position in copper miner Lundin Mining was among the top performers. During the month, the company announced an increase to the life of a mine at its Candelaria copper asset in Chile, as well as a share buyback. MKTGM1218E /5
2 Portfolio Activity During the month, we continued to reduce our underweight to diversified miner Anglo American. We also added to our position in our preferred recycling play. Outlook & Positioning After strong years in 2016 and 2017, this year has been more challenging for the mining sector so far. Sentiment has deteriorated on trade tensions, and mined commodity prices have fallen across the board as a result. It has been interesting to see financially traded commodities (eg, copper, zinc and aluminium) underperforming the physically traded ones (eg, iron ore and steel), where investors are unable to speculate as much. This suggests to us that underlying fundamentals remain strong, and weakness has been mainly driven by speculation. Meanwhile, underlying demand conditions in China appear to be stable, while we are seeing early signs of stimulus coming through. We believe we could be at peak pessimism around trade wars and are looking to add risk in the Fund. Meanwhile, mining shares are trading on attractive multiples versus history and relative to broader equities. The sector is trading on close to its highest-ever free cashflow yield, while relative price-to-book is close to a historic low. Finally, we believe the capital discipline story remains intact, as management teams remain focused on capital discipline and shareholder returns. Key Risks Exchange Rate Risk Overseas investment will be affected by movements in currency exchange rates. Specific Sector The fund invests in a limited number of market sectors. Compared to investments which spread investment risk through investing in a variety of sectors, share price movements may have a greater effect on the overall value of this fund. Smaller company investments Smaller company investments are often associated with greater investment risk than those of larger company shares. Emerging market risk Emerging market investments are usually associated with higher investment risk than developed market investments. Therefore the value of these investments may be unpredictable and subject to greater variation. Gold / mining funds Mining shares typically experience above average volatility when compared to other investments. Trends which occur within the general equity market may not be mirrored within mining securities. MKTGM1218E /5
