This combined with renewed concerns regarding the strength of global growth, sent shudders through global markets – major equity indices sank and safe haven assets such as the U.S. Dollar, Japanese Yen and higher quality bonds moved sharply higher. China, the largest of the Emerging Market economies, unexpectedly increased the rate of devaluation of their currency, raising concerns about the ability of policy makers to manage a slowdown in economic growth. By early February, worries had spread to Europe and Japan, induced by the Japanese Central Bank’s surprise decision to cut official interest rates into negative territory, in an effort to boost growth. Indeed, at the February 11 lows, the MSCI World Ex Australia (A$ Hedged) Index was down 12.5% since 1 January 2016. However, markets turned and rallied strongly following comments from the U.S. Federal Reserve Chairperson, Janet Yellen, stating that financial conditions "have become less supportive of growth". This eased market concerns that U.S interest rates would rise aggressively throughout 2016, as was first expected. Portfolio Performance The Global Shares portfolio delivered a return of -2.5%, for the quarter. Whilst a negative return is disappointing, this is a strong result under the circumstances, as our focus on assets offering the most attractive reward for risk ensured that the impact of weaker and more volatile equity markets was minimised. The performance of unhedged International equity allocations weighed on the portfolio’s returns this quarter, as the Australian dollar rallied against the U.S dollar and the British pound. Japanese and European equities detracted from performance due to negative market responses to the policies adopted by their respective Central Banks. Perhaps surprisingly, given the events of the quarter, Emerging Market equities also proved quite resilient. Portfolio Positioning & Outlook Following January and February’s weakness, we took the opportunity to reinstate an allocation to European and U.K. equities, given our favourable view of valuations in European energy stocks and our expectation that European financials had been oversold. Whilst this investment performed well (in local currency terms) as global fears receded, movements in currency have impacted Australian dollar returns to date. We continue to expect heightened volatility in markets as Central Bank policy plays out and investors get greater clarity with regard to the outlook for global growth. Whilst a number of key international equity markets remain expensive in our view, the portfolio remains nearly fully invested in global equity opportunities that we consider attractively priced. As such, we remain confident that the portfolio is well positioned to meet its long term objectives.

Economic & Market Commentary

The quarter began with heightened fear and volatility as investors grappled with comments from the U.S. Federal Reserve affirming their expectations for a more aggressive outlook for U.S. interest rate tightening. This combined with renewed concerns regarding the strength of global growth, sent shudders through global markets – major equity indices sank and safe haven assets such as the U.S. Dollar, Japanese Yen and higher quality bonds moved sharply higher. China, the largest of the Emerging Market economies, unexpectedly increased the rate of devaluation of their currency, raising concerns about the ability of policy makers to manage a slowdown in economic growth.

By early February, worries had spread to Europe and Japan, induced by the Japanese Central Bank’s surprise decision to cut official interest rates into negative territory, in an effort to boost growth. Indeed, at the February 11 lows, the MSCI World Ex Australia (A$ Hedged) Index was down 12.5% since 1 January 2016. However, markets turned and rallied strongly following comments from the U.S. Federal Reserve Chairperson, Janet Yellen, stating that financial conditions "have become less supportive of growth". This eased market concerns that U.S interest rates would rise aggressively throughout 2016, as was first expected.

Portfolio PerformanceThe Global Shares portfolio delivered a return of -2.5%, for the quarter. Whilst a negative return is disappointing, this is a strong result under the circumstances, as our focus on assets offering the most attractive reward for risk ensured that the impact of weaker and more volatile equity markets was minimised.

The performance of unhedged International equity allocations weighed on the portfolio’s returns this quarter, as the Australian dollar rallied against the U.S dollar and the British pound. Japanese and European equities detracted from performance due to negative market responses to the policies adopted by their respective Central Banks. Perhaps surprisingly, given the events of the quarter, Emerging Market equities also proved quite resilient.

Portfolio Positioning & OutlookFollowing January and February’s weakness, we took the opportunity to reinstate an allocation to European and U.K. equities, given our favourable view of valuations in European energy stocks and our expectation that European financials had been oversold. Whilst this investment performed well (in local currency terms) as global fears receded, movements in currency have impacted Australian dollar returns to date.

We continue to expect heightened volatility in markets as Central Bank policy plays out and investors get greater clarity with regard to the outlook for global growth. Whilst a number of key international equity markets remain expensive in our view, the portfolio remains nearly fully invested in global equity opportunities that we consider attractively priced. As such, we remain confident that the portfolio is well positioned to meet its long term objectives.
