Manager's Monthly Report
May 2013
Background
The global economic backdrop drifted aimlessly over the period. In the absence of any definitive change in prevailing economic activity, growth remained scarce, inflation relatively stable and unemployment stubbornly high. Business and consumer sentiment remained fragile, weighed down by widespread uncertainty towards future growth and income prospects.
Performance
Global equity market performance over the month matched the moribund mood of macroeconomics. Pockets of strength in Europe and Japan were offset by notable weakness in China and Latin America. The US and UK made no progress in sterling terms, leaving global aggregate market returns essentially flat.
Activity
The large position in Kimberly-Clark de Mexico was reduced by 1% following a prolonged period of strong capital appreciation. Profits were also realised through partial sales of two pharmaceutical companies, Astellas in Japan and Novartis in Switzerland.
Outlook
The complete lack of economic traction in response to persistent money printing is a macroeconomic reality that appears not to register in the minds of Global Central Bankers intent on debasing their respective currencies. So quantitative easing prevails and the world continues to stagnate. Whilst such policy irresponsibility dictates, capital preservation remains key. The portfolio’s predominately defensive positioning will be maintained.
