The US Federal Reserve increased interest rates four times in 2018, with the final hike in December bringing the policy rate to 2.5%. These rate rises have caused investor concerns that interest rates may have risen too quickly and may harm future economic growth. However, so far there are few signs that the US economy is struggling, third quarter annual GDP data came in at 3%, unemployment is only 3.7% and inflation seems relatively contained at 2.2%. However, concerns over future economic growth resulted in a positive bond return of 2.5% over the quarter and 0.8% for The European Central Bank confirmed that it had ended the quantitative easing program that had been running since Economic growth data in the third quarter came out at 1.6% which was down from the previous quarter s 2.2%, yet the Bank remained confident enough to end the stimulus program. Inflation is 1.9% which is close to the ECB s target of 2.0% but core inflation remains lower at 1.0%. There was some conflict between Italy and the European Commission over the year, due to the size of their planned government budget deficit. This led to a selloff in Italian bonds and the 10-year yield reached a high of 3.7% in October before rallying as progress was made in talks between the two parties. Although the return from Italian bonds was -1.4% over 2018, the quarterly return was 3.4%. In the UK, Prime Minister Theresa May reached a deal with the European Union with her draft EU withdrawal agreement. However, it is increasingly questionable as to whether this deal will be able to pass through Parliament due to significant opposition. A vote had been scheduled in December, but this was delayed as it became clear that the government would not be able to win enough votes to pass the agreement. With the EU claiming that this deal will not be renegotiated, this increases the chance that the UK will withdraw without any agreement, a so called Hard Brexit scenario. This led to a rally in UK government bonds in the quarter, with Gilts returning 2.0% to leave the return for 2018 at 0.4%. Two new presidents took power in Latin America in the quarter. In Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro was elected with a right-wing populist message and although he does not have a working majority in the national congress the market reacted well to his election. It is hoped that he will start to reform the bloated social security system and drive through needed fiscal and economic reforms. The Brazilian bond market rallied significantly over the quarter delivering a total return of 8.1% bringing the 2018 return to a very healthy 12.6%. In Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador formally took over as president following his election victory early in the year. His decision to abandon the building of the almost completed new airport for Mexico City raised some questions regarding policy stability. The market sold off by 1.5% over the quarter, however the 2018 return from Mexico remained positive at 2.8%. The US dollar performed well over the quarter and the year against most major currencies. A notable exception was Japanese yen which, due to signs of a tighter monetary policy environment in the year, appreciated by 2.7% against the dollar in Uncertainty surrounding the changing political leadership in Mexico saw the Mexican peso falling by 5% in the quarter but only depreciating by 0.7% to the dollar over the year. Continuing uncertainty over Brexit caused the British pound to lose ground to the US dollar by -2.3% and -5.9% over the quarter and 2018 respectively. The Australian dollar was the worst performing major currency over 2018, depreciating by 10.0% perhaps due to the central bank being relatively cautious on policy normalisation. 1.

As an example of the impact of investment management fees on the net return to investors: the value of a $10 million investment at inception of 19 September 2014 on which the highest 60 basis points was payable, would be worth $ million gross of investment management fees and $ million net of fees as at the end of. The basis for calculating this example is to start with an investment amount, apply the monthly gross performance to the previous computed month end value, and deduct the highest fees payable (60.0 basis points) to compute the new month end value net of fees.investment management fees are described in the current prospectus.
