The Growth portfolio underperformed the benchmark by
1% over the month, translating into outperformance of
2.1% per annum since launch with lower volatility than
the benchmark. European yields spiked sharply higher
towards the end of the month, creating a ripple effect
across asset classes which resulted in the breakdown
of some recent trades. US and UK government bonds
sold off in sympathy, European equities underperformed
and the dollar weakened against the euro. This meant
US and European equity markets displayed some
weakness over the month which was reflected in the
portfolio, however all the UK equity strategies posted
positive returns which clearly helped with this weakness.

The portfolio’s objective is to provide outperformance
of the Wealth Management Association (WMA) Growth
Index over the medium term. Returns will be generated
through both capital growth and income with a bias
towards developed and liquid capital markets. The risk
will be diversified by holding collective investments. The
management of the portfolio aims to meet the objective
conservatively by taking managed risk through fund
selection and asset allocation.
