Manager Commentary
Global equity markets had a positive month in terms of performance. Although many financial indicators point to a recession later this year or early next, underlying economies, especially in the US, remain relatively buoyant. This is due to still low unemployment, which has not yet started to rise. Though not growing much, corporate profits and earnings are also slightly better than expected. In an economic context, the UK remains a laggard. Inflation data, particularly core inflation, which is domestically generated, has risen above 7%. This is much higher than in the US or Europe, leading the Bank of England to raise interest rates by a greater-than- expected 50 basis points to 5%. The message to markets was that, in the UK, interest rates will be higher for longer and the prospect of a recession has markedly increased. This is the main reason why UK equity indices lagged. It also explains why, once again, medium and smaller companies, which are more exposed to the domestic economy, are lagging larger companies in the FTSE 100 Index, which are more international in terms of revenues and profits.
Against this background, the FTSE All-Share Index rose by 1.0% while the FTSE Closed End Investment Company Index was 0.9% lower (both in total returns). The average discount for the Closed End Investment Company sector widened further to 17%. It has been the key factor behind the persistent relative underperformance of investment companies over the past 18 months. There is no sole factor that causes discounts to widen; however, they can be viewed as a good yardstick of investor sentiment, which currently could be described as fragile.
The net asset value of the Growth Portfolio declined by 1.8% (also in total return terms). The leading contributors were Baillie Gifford Japan Trust, which gained 7%, and long-time holding JPMorgan American, which was ahead by 5%.
Key risks
Stock market movements may cause the value of investments and the income from them to fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Changes in rates of exchange may have an adverse effect on the value, price or income of investments. If markets fall, gearing can magnify the negative impact on performance.
