Global Equity PortfolioThe portfolio’s objective is to provide outperformance of the Wealth Management Association (WMA) Global Equity Composite Index over the medium term. Returns will be generated through both capital growth and income, with a bias towards developed and liquid capital markets. The risk will be diversified by holding collective investments. The management of the portfolio aims to meet the objective conservatively by taking managed risk through fund selection and asset allocation.

Recent Activity Markets continued to rally as various indices reached new all-time highs before easing back. Emerging Markets and the US were the leading drivers in global markets, whilst the UK was the notable faller down 2%. Sterling strength significantly impacted the positive returns from overseas markets especially the US. Government bonds fell 2% across the US and UK whilst corporate bonds were more neutral. Property also struggled falling 2.5%.

Global PMI reached a near 7-year high signalling above trend growth in most major economies except for China (tighter monetary policy) and the UK (Brexit concerns). The key risks to global growth in 2018 will be monetary policy, dollar strength and political risk. Emerging markets will continue to be sensitive to the strength of the green back.

It was another busy month for the US President as Trump became embroiled with North Korea, defended the administration against Wolff’s revelations, the 3-day federal shutdown and a re-emergence of protectionism. Similarly, to the UK, Italy and Germany are set for a period of weak governments.
