Strategy

Investment objective and policy

BL-Global 50 invests around 50% of its assets in bonds and money market instruments and 50% in equities. Geographically, the fund invests in Europe and the United States, and from time to time in Japan and the emerging markets. The fund's aim is to achieve better returns than the bond markets, while keeping well below the volatility associated with pure equity investments.

Management report - 2d Quarter 2019

All the main asset classes were boosted by the highly accommodative statements from the Chairman of the Federal Reserve and the President of the ECB, suggesting quantitative easing measures on both sides of the Atlantic during the second half of the year. In the second quarter, the MSCI All Country World Index net total return expressed in euros gained 2.2%, the J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index EMU Unhedged LOC added 3.4%, and the price of gold (expressed in euros) was up 8.1%. The NAV of BL Global 30 (retail accumulation share net of fees in euros) increased by 2.0%. No changes were made to the portfolio's structure during the quarter. At the end of June, the fund was 32.5% invested in equities, with 12.5% of this allocation hedged through the sale of futures. The bond segment, amounting to 38.5% of the portfolio, was composed entirely of German government bonds, with an average duration of 4.0. Certificates investing in precious metals accounted for 19.5% of the portfolio. The portfolio's geographic allocation was as follows: Europe 21% (12.5% hedged), United States 5.5%, Japan 4% and emerging markets 2%. In terms of cash, 6.5% of the portfolio's assets have been placed in Swiss francs and Japanese yen, which should act as safe-haven currencies if the equity markets are hit by a return to volatility in the second half.
