Portfolio Review     Both fixed income and equity markets rallied in October as the window for ongoing quantitative easing conditions remained open a little longer. The US economy, already fighting the tightening in financial conditions imposed by the FOMC taper talk in May, suffered another blow as the Government temporarily halted ‘non-essential’ services from 1-17 October due to the inability of Republicans and Democrats to agree on a budget. On the upside, a technical default was avoided, but only with a temporary fix. The debt ceiling will be breached, but will not be enforceable until 7 February 2014, just 3 weeks after the new deadline for a permanent budget.

Overall portfolio performance in October was strong, up by 2.65%. Over the month, the portfolio has increased allocations to local currency and equities and reduced exposure to corporate debt. We expect EM local currency bonds to perform well as volatility declines, allowing for correlations between local bonds and US Treasuries to mean revert towards zero. EM equities are expected to outperform developed markets as the valuation gap is very high when compared to historical levels. The general outlook is for further monetary expansion given the sensitivity of the US economy to higher rates (especially the housing market). This suggests that good returns could be harvested in all asset classes.
