Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Most US equity indices continued to rise in June with the S&P 500 climbing just short of 2% for the month. Growth continued to outperform value as large cap technology stocks surged ahead. US large cap value stocks fell 0.66% as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index while their growth counterparts gained 4.35%. Small cap stocks outperformed mid cap stocks with the Russell 2000 Value Index gaining 2.9% versus a rise of 1.13% for the Russell Mid Cap Value Index. Looking back on the first six months of 2020, the Russell 1000 Growth Index has posted the strongest gains (+9.8%) as many of the high-multiple consumer discretionary and technology names have soared with investors disregarding underlying valuations.

Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}As companies begin to release second quarter earnings over the coming weeks, with many having pulled guidance for the rest of year, the focus will be on understanding how they have weathered the pandemic thus far and the resilience of their balance sheets. In the near term, liquidity can enhance market performance, but it is the fundamentals that drive long-term results. Global growth for 2020 is now projected at -4.9%, nearly 2% below the April 2020 World Economic Outlook (WEO) forecast by the IMF, with the Covid-19 pandemic having a more negative impact on activity in the first half of the year than anticipated, and the projected recovery being more gradual. In 2021, global growth is now projected at 5.4 percent. As to be expected, Boston Partners will continue to construct portfolios in a consistent manner, focusing on attractive valuation, strong business fundamentals and improving business momentum.
