Strategy
Investment objective and policy
This fund has a minimum net equity exposure of 75% and invests in UCITS and other UCIs with no geographical, sector or currency restriction. The remaining assets may be invested in bond funds, cash or any other type of transferable security that is listed or traded on regulated markets. The emphasis is on international diversification of investments and flexibility in terms of themes and sectors that may potentially be present within the fund.Management report - 1st Quarter 2021
Hopes of a gradual opening of economies, government support programmes and the central banks' commitment to avoid premature tightening are driving stock markets to record highs. In an environment of rising interest rates and a steepening yield curve, the stocks that outperformed significantly were financials and cyclicals, as well as value stocks in general. The leader board was dominated by energy, financials and industrials, while healthcare, utilities and consumer staples continue to lag. In this environment of strong gains for the equity market indices, BL Fund Selection Equities gained 3.8%, underperforming both the average of competing funds and a broad index of global stocks. The main reasons for this are the relative poor performance of the underlying funds and the decline in gold-mining funds. In an environment in which cyclical stocks outperformed, the fund was penalised by its bias towards the quality growth style. The majority of equity funds underperformed the market indices, with the exception of the few value-biased funds that demonstrated their usefulness in terms of diversification. Kempen Global Small Cap was the strongest performer over the quarter with a gain of 23.3%, followed by Janus Henderson Japanese Smaller Companies (+11%). Against a backdrop of rising interest rates, gold-mining funds suffered from gold's relative loss of appeal. Bakersteel Global Precious Metals and Jupiter Gold & Silver gave up 11.3% and 10.6% respectively.General information
