Prudential Inflation Plus comment - Mar 19
2019/05/23 00:00:00
Global equity and bond markets were broadly positive in March, buoyed by the US Federal Reserve’s easier interest rate stance - the Fed left the benchmark interest rate within the 2.25% - 2.5% range, indicating that no further rate hikes were likely for the remainder of 2019, while forecasting just one rate hike in 2020. Developed markets outperformed emerging markets, shrugging off concerns over a contraction in global growth and political uncertainty in Europe. In the US, Fed Chair Jerome Powell noted that a slowdown in the European and Chinese economies could have a positive but lagged effect on US growth through downward pressure on future inflation. In the UK, Prime Minister Theresa May had a third vote on her Brexit proposal rejected by Parliament. Parliament also voted down eight separate proposals on the structure for exit, creating even more uncertainty. The EU has given Britain until 12 April 2019 to formalise its exit strategy. In Europe, political turmoil in Turkey and uncertainty around Brexit dominated headlines; however, news that the European Central bank would implement a new cheap loan programme for banks to stimulate economic activity within the region helped bolster investor sentiment.
In South Africa, the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) announced that it would keep interest rates unchanged at 6.75%, in line with market expectations. GDP for 2018 came in at 0.8% (y/y), slightly higher than expected; however the SARB indicated that this may be revised down to 0.7% (y/y). The SARB also lowered its growth forecast for 2019 from 1.7% to 1.3% and from 2.0% to 1.8% for 2020. In March, the FTSE/JSE All Share Index returned 1.6%, the BEASSA All Bond Index produced 1.3%, inflation-linked bonds (the Composite ILB Index) delivered -0.8%, and cash as measured by the STeFI Composite Index returned 0.6%.
Looking at global market returns (all in US$), the MSCI All Country World Index returned 1.3%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index also delivered 1.3%, while the EPRA/NAREIT Global Property Index produced 3.1%. The rand depreciated 3.3% against the US dollar, 1.9% against the euro and 1.0% against the pound sterling.
Contributing the most to absolute performance for the month was the fund’s exposure to foreign and SA equities (excluding property), while exposure to SA listed property detracted the most from value.
The primary objective of this Fund is to outperform CPI by 5% (before fees) over a rolling 3-year period. The secondary objective is to reduce the risk of capital loss over any rolling 12-month period. The Fund invests in an actively managed, diversified combination of domestic and international assets where the asset allocation is tactically managed. The intended maximum limits are Equity 40%, Listed Property 25%, Offshore 25%, plus additional 5% Africa (excl. SA). The Fund is managed to comply with regulations governing retirement fund investments (Regulation 28).
Who should Invest?
Individuals looking for a low-to medium-risk multi-asset fund. Individuals and retirees who want to protect their investment from the detrimental effects of inflation over time. The recommended investment horizon is 3 years or longer.
