Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Markets trended mostly higher in March with the S&P 500 up almost 2%. Large cap stocks easily led small caps with investors turning defensive yet again. The quarterly return was written in double digits for all indices, posting a swift recovery from the fourth quarter weakness in 2018. March's returns were led by defensive stocks, with utilities, REITs and staples generally performing the best. On the opposite end, financials and industrials lagged the market as economic and interest rate related worries led to sector weakness.

Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}By the end of March, the yield curve had unwound the inversion. While the inversion of the yield curve has been a reliable indicator of an impending recession, the timing varies greatly. The US/China trade deal is expected to be signed by the end of the month so most international focuses will center on the current deadline for Brexit, viz. 12 April. The results of the coming month will be felt worldwide. As always, the portfolio will continue to be constructed bottom up, always exhibiting a strong valuation edge, solid business fundamentals and improving business momentum.
