Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}Equity markets firmly rebounded during January on the back of accommodative Central Bank comments and robust economic data from the US. The whipsawing of sentiment from exuberance to pessimism during 2018 proved difficult for the fund. We are hopeful that much of the irrationality has been shaken from the markets, and 2019 offers a sober environment where investors focus on the bottom-up fundamentals. As we entered 2019, the fund was trading at its deepest-ever discount relative to the MSCI World Index, portending strong outperformance when value investing takes leadership.
