UBSA Bank Bill Index Mar 11 The agricultural sector detracted; this was driven almost entirely by long exposure to corn, as prices fell in light of less severe weather forecasts. Small losses came from the currency sector as short GBP, USD and EUR positions detracted from performance. MSCI World (TR) Index Dec 10 AHL’s long positioning in the equity sector profited as markets broadly rose over the month. Notable gains came from a long position in Japanese equities which were boosted by talk of additional monetary easing by the Bank of Japan. Man AHL Alpha (AUD) Jun 10 Rising stock markets buoyed the credit sector as AHL’s short positioning profited as the cost of credit default protection fell. Further profits were added by a short allocation to both precious and base metals. A fall in Chinese GDP growth undermined demand expectations for industrial commodities whilst fears that other struggling Eurozone nations would follow Cyprus’ lead and dump their gold reserves spooked gold bugs. Returns Sep 10 A long exposure to the bond sector added a large share of returns with European bonds, US Treasuries and Eurodollar contracts all delivering solid profits. Demand for “safe haven” bonds was buoyed by worsening growth prospects following disappointing employment and corporate earnings news from the US. As at 30 April 2013^ Mar 10 AHL generated strong profits over the month, with investors focusing on the supportive actions by central banks and buying into equities as well as bonds.
