STANLIB Multi-Manager

Market overview
Global equity markets recovered strongly from the significant sell-off in the fourth quarter of 2018, gaining 12.6% in rand terms as trade tensions between the US and China eased following months of negotiations. The US Federal Reserve provided further impetus to the recovery with their more dovish tone. European equities bucked the trend, retreating 0.8% for the quarter on the back of a broad economic slowdown in the region. The European Central Bank (ECB) retaliated and pledged more support for the economy, committing to keep rates unchanged this year and pledging additional stimulus when needed. SA equities benefited from the global recovery and the JSE All Share Index returned 8.0% for the quarter. The Capped SWIX gained 3.9%. Resource shares returned an impressive 18.0% while listed property lagged equity. Local bonds rose 3.8%.
Portfolio review
The Fund returned 6.3% for the quarter, 1.0% ahead of the average peer fund. The overweight exposure to resources and high global allocation assisted performance relative to peers. Sizeable allocations in Naspers and British American Tobacco (BTI) also contributed and it was pleasing to see BTI recovering after a tough 2018.
Coronation had an exceptional quarter, with many of the stock picks that took strain during 2018 recovering. Big contributors include Naspers, BTI, Anglo American, Northam Platinum and Impala Platinum. Coronation’s relatively high allocation to SA equities further assisted performance. They maintain their position in MTN and large property exposure.
Investec did particularly well during the quarter and over the past 12 months. The preferred asset class within the Investec Opportunity Fund remains high quality global companies generating high and sustainable returns on invested capital. Locally, they believe the best opportunity remains government bonds. In their opinion, these instruments offer far higher risk-adjusted return potential than the retail, banking and property sectors.
Prescient’s domestic defensive mandate performed relatively well for the quarter, returning 2.8%. The income generating assets coupled with the low equity allocation in this defensive mandate continued to deliver consistent returns.
Prudential maintained their consistent performance, remaining overweight SA equities and longer duration SA bonds. They prefer resource shares with exposure to global growth - such Sasol and Anglo American - but also find value in financials such Standard Bank and Old Mutual. They remain underweight retail and property stocks.
The Fund’s global allocation performed well in rands, fuelled by global optimism. Please refer to our global equity and bond factsheets for more detailed information.
Portfolio positioning and outlook
SA still faces many headwinds and we are of the opinion that solid growth is not likely if severe load-shedding persists. A sustainable solution to the power crisis is critical. Our managers are cautiously optimistic around valuations for many of the SA centric companies in the Fund, while many of the global shares held provide excellent diversification benefits. There are some concerns around the negative global earnings revisions that we currently monitor, but optimism is expected to continue into the second quarter of 2019. Local bonds and income-type assets are expected to deliver promising real returns and are key ingredients in the Fund’s composition. On balance, we believe the Fund is well positioned to deliver on its long-term objectives.
The Fund is a multi-asset class portfolio that is diversified across asset classes, sectors, various strategies and asset managers - both in South Africa and internationally.
The Fund aims to provide moderate long-term growth of capital and income with (max 60% equity) portfolio.
The objective of the Fund is to outperform the average of investable peers' returns i.e ASISA Multi-Asset Medium Equity category, at risk levels consistent with that of the sector.
