Strategy

Investment objective and policy

BL-Global Equities invests in international equities with no restriction with regard to market capitalisation. Geographically, the fund invests in Europe and the United States, and from time to time in Japan and the emerging markets. The fund aims to achieve long-term capital gains.

Management report - 2d Quarter 2019

In the second quarter of 2019, the MSCI All Country World Index net total return expressed in euros gained 2.2%. Equity markets 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. The NAV of BL Global Equities (retail accumulation share net of fees in euros) increased by 2.5%. In view of the current high valuation levels, the advanced state of the economic cycle and the potential effects of the global economic slowdown on corporate profit growth, the partial hedge on equities was maintained. At the end of June, the fund was 94% invested in equities, with 10% of this allocation hedged through the sale of futures. The portfolio's geographic allocation was as follows: Europe 37% (4% hedged), United States 31% (6% hedged), Japan 11.5% and emerging markets 14.5%. The sector allocation was as follows: consumer 41.5%, industry and commodities 19%, healthcare 15.5% and technology 18%.
