Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Equity markets continued their steady ascent during April. Year-to-date, the MSCI World has delivered its best 4-month return since December 2010. Global equity markets were in rally mode from the outset on signs that the world’s two biggest economies are stabilizing. The US ISM index for manufacturing rose from a two-year low, signaling stabilization after a rocky few months. It followed better-than-expected China manufacturing PMIs over March, assuaging growth concerns, though manufacturing data for Europe came in at the lowest since 2013.

Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}Value was lost once again in April as investors are chasing growth and momentum stocks. The market remains mostly driven by sentiment following increased accommodation by central banks around the world. There is speculation that stimulus in China will drive a cyclical recovery in the short term, and that the Fed’s pivot towards easing will lead to a continuation of the current cycle. We have yet to see concrete evidence either in economic data or company earnings/order books that a sustainable rebound is underway. Based on historical comparisons, there is little-to-no slack left in valuation levels of defensive and momentum stocks. This should set up greater performance potential for our portfolio once the excess unwinds. As always, the portfolio remains well positioned, with holdings that reflect Boston Partners’ 3 Circle characteristics – attractive valuations, solid fundamentals, and identifiable catalysts.
