Fund benefits from stock market rebound

Stock markets around the world have recovered sharply over the quarter. This helped the Responsible Multi-Asset Fund generate a return of 6% since the start of the year. 

Positioning - neutral equities and tactically underweight bonds

We would look to add to our equity position on market pullbacks. We prefer alternative asset classes to fixed income.

What we’re watching

With unemployment at very low levels, we’ll be looking at corporate earnings to see whether higher wage costs are starting to impact profits.
