Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}July saw markets move cautiously higher as earnings came in. Companies that surprised were rewarded with stronger upward moves, but those that disappointed sold off sharply. Another set of Democratic debates passed by with more healthcare initiatives discussed, offering no further clarity within the large field of candidates. At the end of the month, the Fed cut rates by 25 basis points, citing global developments and inflation pressures. The rate cut was positioned as a mid-cycle adjustment and not as the first step of many, which the market viewed pessimistically. August has started off with renewed concerns over the US-China trade tensions, which should be a key market focus moving forward. As always, the fund will continue to exhibit attractive valuations, strong business fundamentals and improving business momentum.
