Review / Outlook
The fund returned +0.53% in July with a volatility of 2.6%. Over the month, the MSCI World Index (EUR) gained +3.88%, and the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Government (EUR Hedged) Index lost 0.42%.
The fund’s performance contributors were equities (+0.48%), non-government bonds (+0.29%), foreign exchange (-0.14%), and government bonds (-0.10%). Trade tariff expectations influenced markets, with equity markets reaching new highs across both sides of the Atlantic, supported by positive US trade agreements with major trading partners. Our equity investments lagged behind the MSCI World Index (EUR), mainly due to the European exposure. Non-government bonds performed in line with broader credit markets. Foreign exchange is explained by the short position in the US dollar versus the euro. Government bonds were affected by a 15 bp increase in the yield on 10-year US Treasuries to 4.37%.
During the month, we increased the equity allocation from 24% to 38%, reflecting our more positive scenarios due to improved tariff expectations. We kept the allocations to government bonds and credit at 30% and 29%, respectively. The fund ended the month with a slight short USD exposure of -1.4%. Total duration remained stable at 3.4 years versus the long-term average of 3.7 years. The fund’s main hedges are the 30% long-term government bond and the 5% gold exposures.
On July 11, 2025, we reviewed our scenarios as follows:
Base scenario: Settling down in a world of tariffs. The global economy navigates the initial wave of tariffs well and shows resilience. While tariff discussions continue, markets now expect less extreme final levels than those announced on Liberation Day. Inflation keeps trending down gradually. We expect equity markets to continue to grind higher. This scenario is neutral for credit and slightly negative for government bonds.
Positive scenario: A world of stimuli. Tariff discussions fade into the background. Stimuli such as fiscal expansion in both the US and Europe, along with a more dovish Fed, become the main drivers of the equity markets. President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act is passed. European economies benefit from Germany’s new government-led fiscal easing. Inflation remains under control. This scenario is positive for equities and credit and negative for government bonds.
Negative scenario: Trade war. Major economies end up with extravagant tariffs, increasing recession risk. In addition, disruptive US policies at home and abroad further dampen market sentiment. We expect financial markets to focus more on recession fears than inflation concerns. Equity markets correct by around 20%. This scenario is negative for credit and positive for government bonds, though we apply less hedging value to US Treasuries.
