Short electricity and coal contracts helped partially offset sector losses. -2.0% The stock sector was a positive contributor as long positions in US and European stock indices benefited from the equity rally before returns were trimmed in the final week. -6.0% Mar 13 Dec 12 Sep 12 Jun 12 Mar 12 Dec 11 Sep 11 Jun 11 Mar 11 Dec 10 Agricultural trading added some gains, primarily via long soyabeans and short sugar positions. -4.0% Jun 10 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.
