Strategy
Investment objective and policy
BL-Global 50 invests around 50% of its assets in bonds and money market instruments and 50% in equities. Geographically, the fund invests in Europe and the United States, and from time to time in Japan and the emerging markets. The fund's aim is to achieve better returns than the bond markets, while keeping well below the volatility associated with pure equity investments.Management report - 1st Quarter 2021
Equity markets continued to forge ahead in the first quarter of 2021, buoyed by the prospect of a strong acceleration in global growth. This was reflected in the MSCI All Country World Index net total return expressed in euros gaining 8.9%. The leading sectors were energy, banks and industrials, profiting from investors' enthusiasm for cyclical and discounted stocks. On the other hand, sectors that were the winners in recent years, such as technology, lagged behind. In the bond portfolio, the J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index EMU Unhedged LOC gave up 2.4% as expectations for an increase in growth and inflation took hold. The price of gold fell by 7.3%, penalised by the rise in long-term interest rates. The portfolio's defensive positioning prevented BL Global 50 from reaping the benefit of the fair winds on the equity markets, and the fund's NAV (retail accumulation share net of fees in euros) fell by 0.1% over the quarter. Within the portfolio, the weighting of defensive stocks, which came under heavy pressure at the end of February/beginning of March, was slightly increased, as was exposure to Asian emerging markets. At the end of March, the fund was 48.4% invested in equities, 24.2% in government bonds, 19.9% in certificates investing in gold and silver, and 7.5% in cash. The portfolio's geographic allocation ended the quarter as follows: Europe 25.3%, US 11.7%, Japan 5.8% and emerging markets 5.6%.General information
