Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}October proved to be a good month for the MSCI World Index. The month began on shaky ground following a weak batch of US economic data. The US consumer has been a stalwart for global demand, and a disappointing US jobs report and downward revision of August’s data undermined this pillar supporting global equity valuations. Markets rebounded through the rest of the month spurred by news of positive progress on trade negotiations between the US and China.

Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}October brought additional signs of a market rotation in favor of value investing. The MSCI World Momentum Index underperformed the broader index, and the MSCI EAFE Index outperformed the MSCI US Index. We are cautious, and will not predict a sustained rotation to value, but evidence indicates that the market is beginning to critically question the investment thesis underpinning many growth stories. Given the fund’s attractive Three-Circle characteristics with a compelling value proposition, we are optimistic about the period ahead.
