Strategy
Investment objective and policy
The aim of this fund is long-term capital appreciation via a diversified portfolio of assets while targeting lower volatility than the equity markets. This flexible fund of funds has no geographical, sector or monetary restriction and invests mainly in UCITS and other UCIs. The proportion of investments in the various asset classes will depend on market circumstances. The maximum equity weighting permitted is 50%.Management report - 4th Quarter 2020
The health situation was still difficult at the end of the year, forcing many countries to partially shut down their economies again. The announcement of very promising results from Pfizer (followed by Moderna) on a Covid-19 vaccine with efficacy rates of over 90% spurred the markets in the fourth quarter. Although the vaccines will not be available on a large scale before the Spring, they are already allowing the markets to see a clearer way out of the health crisis at last and envisage a gradual return to normal in the second half of 2021. In this context, the equity weighting was increased from 29.7% to 45.7%. In the last few months, the markets were also buoyed by the results of the US presidential election. Joe Biden's victory offers the prospect of the trade war easing, with China and with other partners around the world. After months of bitter discussions, an agreement was finally reached between the United Kingdom and the European Union in the closing days of 2020. This tide of optimism led to strong gains on the equity markets. The MSCI World index added 9.4% (in EUR), driven by emerging markets (+14.7% in EUR) and European markets (+10.9%), which have a greater proportion of cyclical stocks, the quarter's main beneficiaries. The US markets gained 7.5% (in EUR). BL Fund Selection 0-50 benefited from this favourable environment for risky assets to grow by 5.4%. Over the year 2020 as a whole, BL Fund Selection 0-50 gained 8.6%. In the fourth quarter, the fund benefited from the good performance of all its components and from the decision to take on more risk from the end of October. Gold-mining funds were alone in posting significantly negative performance overall for the quarter (-4.2%) as the price of gold consolidated after a good start to the year. All segments of the portfolio delivered some pleasing results. Kirao Smallcaps (+19.7%) and Nordea Nordic Equity Small Cap (+17.4%) headed the equity funds, while Mirabaud Sustainable Convertible Global (+17%) and Lazard Global Convertibles Recovery (+11%) were top of the bond funds. In the absolute return segments, Franklin K2 Electron Global Equity (+29.5%), BDL Rempart Europe (+19.2%) and Liontrust European Strategic Equity (+15.2%) stood out among the directional funds and Exane Overdrive (+7.9%) and Boussard & Gavaudan Absolute Return (+6.7%) among the decorrelated funds. As the equity weighting was increased during the quarter, the more cyclical funds and small cap funds were strengthened. At the end of December, the fund’s equity weighting of around 46% (5.8% in gold-mining) was high compared to its historic position, and reflects a degree of optimism in the capacity of vaccine distribution to protect the financial markets against the risk of a major correction.General information
