Fusion Alpha US Dollar Strategy Fact Sheet - V1.01-12.11
Capital International
High Yield Property Commodity Hedge
Cash
January saw a strong start to 2012 for global equities, with investors seizing on further positive US economic data and also believing that the worst was behind the European financial woes. The portfolios benefited not only from a good exposure to world equities but also an improved performance from corporate bonds and firmer commodity prices. After strong recent gains, the month was more troublesome for Sovereign bond yields. There remain major issues to surmount in the global economy and we will take profits into any significant gains. Interest rates remain at lowly levels and the financial authorities have created ample liquidity, which could in several years lead to significant upward pressure on inflation.
