Long exposure to the interest rate sector also weighed on
performance with positions in Eurodollar contracts generating
losses. Long positioning in Euribor and Short Sterling
contracts were also adversely affected by a Eurozone rate
cut. The currency sector delivered a loss as long positions in
commodity-linked currencies were adversely affected by an
appreciating US dollar.
Returns
Sep 10
A long exposure to the bond sector was the largest detractor.
US Treasuries were amongst the most notable losers as yields
jumped after comments by Ben Bernanke that the Fed might
look to reduce its bond buying program. Further negative
performance came from UK gilts and bonds from
commodity-focused economies.
As at 31 May 2013^
Mar 10
AHL generated a loss in May as risk appetite rose for the first
three weeks but pulled back sharply towards month-end as
the Federal Reserve announced it might look to taper monetary
stimulus. This pattern was particularly pronounced in Japanese
markets which had surged ahead, backed by yen depreciation
and supportive monetary policy from the Bank of Japan,
before falling markedly in the face of a possible reduction in
US support.
