OM Albaraka Equity comment - Jun 19
2019/08/19 00:00:00
Markets responded negatively to a State of the Nation Address that was big on goals but short on action plans and we now have an increasingly likely rate cut by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) in the third quarter. Globally, the US-China trade saga took another hopeful turn and the markets are optimistic that talks will eventually lead to a deal by year-end. Markets saw a risk on sentiment regarding an expansionary European Central Bank and priced in a dovish US Federal Reserve rate cut in July and another in Q4.
The FTSE/JSE All Share (ALSI) was up by 3.92% over the quarter ending June 2019. Large, midand small caps returned +4.61%, +1.45% and +1.84% respectively for June 2019. The sectors that contributed positively in the ALSI for the quarter were telecommunications and consumer goods, returning 18.65% and 5.63% respectively. The worst performing sectors for the quarter, down by -8.26% and -2.02% respectively, were healthcare and industrials. The local currency strengthened against the greenback by 2.72%, by 5.37% against the sterling and 1.44% against the euro for the quarter ending June 2019. In this context, the fund returned +2.22% for June 2019.
The fund’s current positioning from an offshore allocation perspective is at approximately 25%, providing investors with significant diversification and investment opportunity benefits. In addition, the fund’s valuation, sentiment and risk indicators are all attractive compared to its benchmark.
Our strategy seeks to achieve a greater return and less volatility than the market over a long-term horizon. The fund has high exposure to international equities, allowing the fund to achieve greater diversification and consequently a reduction in volatility. The strengthening of the rand detracted from performance of the portfolio.
Through time, equity has achieved greater returns than the other asset classes. Our high exposure to equities benefits from this and, similarly, within equities we are positioned to achieve lower volatility when compared to the fund’s benchmark.
The Old Mutual Albaraka Equity Fund is a Shari'ah compliant fund which provides investors with cost-effective access to a broad spectrum of JSE listed investments.
The Fund is strictly managed in accordance with Shari'ah Law and therefore does not invest in shares that have an association with alcohol, gambling, non-halaal foodstuffs or interest-bearing instruments. The Shari'ah Supervisory Board assists in ethical issues and ensures that investments meet the stringent considerations of the mandate.
The Fund is exposed to the movements and sensitivities of the equity market. The Fund also assumes mandate risk as its mandate precludes investments in non-Shari'ah compliant shares including financial shares and interest-bearing instruments.
