Quarterly Review Q1 2024 - Growth Final - Flipbook - Page 3
Performance summary
•
•
•
•
The Multi-Asset Blend Growth Fund (“the Fund”) enjoyed a strong start to the year, returning
+5.2% over the 昀椀rst quarter.
With global equity markets performing well, the equity component of your Fund proved
very additive over the quarter. This was further supplemented by the Fund being tactically
overweight to the strongly-performing Japanese Equity market.
Despite equity markets being primarily driven by what’s done well recently (i.e. what are known
as “momentum” stocks), it was pleasing to see your Fund’s global diversi昀椀cation prove helpful
to returns. The Fund’s more growth-oriented managers delivered the strongest performance
whereas small cap and value-oriented strategies typically lagged.
Although 昀椀xed income markets were generally lacklustre over the period, other diversifying
strategies in Absolute Return and Property & Real Assets made a material positive contribution
to the Fund’s return over the quarter.
