There is no guarantee the objective will be achieved over any time period and the actual volatility, at any time, may be higher or lower than 12%. Capital invested is at risk. There is no guarantee that the volatility target will be met and at any time the actual volatility may be higher or lower than the long-term target.

Commentary

February 2024 Investment Summary

A mixed month for the Active range with returns ranging from -0.30% for Active 1 to +1.00% for Active 5.
P Acc share class with data sourced from FE analytics as at 29 February 2024.

February 2024 was a positive month for portfolios generally.

Most major equity markets continued to rise driven by big tech led earnings surprise and growing optimism that inflation will remain under control. Technology services led the sector-wise performance while Real Estate and Utilities lagged.

Government bond prices were lower as the ten-year Treasury yield edged up to 4.25% from 3.87% over the month. Strong economic data has whittled away hopes for imminent interest rate cuts, as investors have roughly halved the number of cuts expected by the Fed in 2024.

The US labour market made a strong start to 2024 as government data surpassed expectations to show payrolls increased by 353,000 in January and by 275,000 in February, albeit alongside a clear slowdown in wage growth, increasing by 0.1% on a month by month basis. US consumer confidence retreated in February after three straight monthly gains, as households worried about the labour market and the domestic political environment. Unemployment data picked up to 3.9% surprising markets which expected it to remain at 3.7%.

Conflict in the Middle East continues with ceasefire talks appearing to stall and shipping companies continuing to divert vessels to avoid the possibility of attack, the market reaction remains fairly muted. Brent Crude was up to $84/barrel from $80/barrel.

Central banks’ continue to keep monetary policy tight enough to drive inflation back towards the 2% target, there is growing evidence of a continued softening in prices. This has led focus to turn to the potential for central banks to ease policy rates to prevent further restriction to the economy and the prospect for a global economic ‘soft landing’.

While recent central bank meetings have suggested the next move in interest rates will be downwards, officials have been cautious to confirm when these cuts will be implemented, with a careful eye on data to ensure a sustainable route back to the inflation target.

WS Prudential Risk Managed Active - Tactical asset allocation activity

*With continued disinflation traction, alongside the continued positive fundamentals of the US economy the portfolio managers remain moderately overweight equities (+2.25%), with funding from European investment grade (-1.25%) and Cash (-1.00%).

Fund Specific Risks

Emerging Markets

The fund invests in emerging markets. Generally less well regulated than the UK. There is an increased chance of political and economic instability with less reliable custody, dealing and settlement arrangements. The market(s) can be less liquid. If a fund investing in markets is affected by currency exchange rates, the investment could either increase or decrease. These investments therefore carry more risk.

High Yield Bonds

The fund invests in high yield bonds. High yield bonds carry a greater risk of default than investment grade bonds, and economic conditions and interest rate movements will have a greater effect on their price. Income levels may not be achieved and the income provided may vary.

Value of Investments

The value of investments, and any income can fall, as well as rise, so you could get back less than you invested. Neither capital nor income is guaranteed.

Investments Long Term

Investments should be regarded as long term and are not suitable for money which may be needed in the short term, you should always have a sufficient cash reserve.

Property

The fund invests in Property funds, property shares or direct property. In particular the following risks will apply:- The property market is illiquid and this can, in exceptional circumstances, lead to times in which clients are unable to dispose of part or all of their holding. Property valuations are made by independent agents but are ultimately subjective and a matter of judgement. Property transaction costs are high (typically around 7% due to legal costs, valuations and stamp duty)

Derivative Exposure

The fund invests in derivatives as part of its investment strategy, over and above their use for Efficient Portfolio Management (EPM). Investors should be aware that the use of these instruments can, under certain circumstances, increase the volatility and risk profile of the Fund beyond that expected of a fund that only invests in equities. The fund may also be exposed to the risk that the company issuing the derivative may not honour their obligations which in turn could lead to losses arising.

Umbrella Liabilities

If the liabilities of one fund were to exceed its assets, the other funds within the scheme might have to transfer across money to cover the liabilities.

Solvency of Bond Issuers

If the fund you choose invests in bonds there is a risk that the issuer may default, resulting in a loss to the portfolio.

Returns Are Not Guaranteed

What you receive when you sell your investment is not guaranteed; it depends on how your investments perform.

Inflation

Inflation will reduce the real value of your investments in future.

Taxation and Tax Relief

Levels of taxation and tax relief are subject to change.
