Commentary

Performance as at Q1 2024 - Over the first quarter of 2024, financial markets saw mixed performance. Equity markets and riskier fixed income assets produced positive returns, whereas interest rate sensitive fixed income assets ended the quarter in negative territory. Upside surprises in economic data spurred investor appetite for risk assets. Contrarily, stickier than anticipated inflation prints served to push out expectations for the timing of interest rate cuts to the second half of the year and reduced the number of expected interest rate cuts for 2024 by half, which ultimately drove bond yields higher. Geopolitical tensions provided a potential tail risk, however not to an extent as to derail the market momentum. Developed Market Equities performed strongly across the board. Japan emerged as the top-performing market, owing to a combination of a weaker yen and a series of government reforms, including the termination of their negative interest rate policy. US Equity market returns continued to display signs of concentration, Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta and Amazon served as core positive drivers of index returns, whereas Apple and Tesla finished in negative territory. European Equities lagged their developed market counterparts, though saw a strong rally in March as stronger economic data and attractive valuations drove positive investor sentiment for the region. Emerging Market Equities broadly lagged that of Developed Markets over the quarter, however Chinese equity markets rebounded strongly following brighter economic activity data and supportive interventions from the People’s Bank of China. MSCI EM fully recovered from January weakness, gaining +2.4% in Q1 although still lagging DM (+9.0%) by a decent margin. Positive inflation dynamics and resilient growth in the US led to more muted optimism for early easing, whilst AI optimism drove tech heavy markets. EM Asia (+2.4%) was the best performing region, driven by strong returns out of North Asia. Korea (+1.7%) saw decent foreign inflows on strong hopes surrounding the government's corporate Value-Up program. AI optimism was fueled by strong Nvidia guidance, driving further upside across IT names, helping Taiwan to gain (+12.1%). China (-2.1%) was weaker as economic concerns continued to dominate. India (+6.2%) continues to be an outperformer on building economic confidence and strong earnings reports. EMEA finished Q1 up +1.1%, with high degrees of dispersion across the region. Saudi Arabia (+2.4%) was a net winner with very strong performance from the SMID cap space and expectations that OPEC+ voluntary production cuts would extend into 2Q, supporting the oil price. Central Europe continues to print decent returns with Poland (+3.4%) and Greece (+6.4%) outpacing the region. On the other hand, South Africa pulled back -6.9% as equities remain under pressure from a stronger US dollar and rising election uncertainty. Egypt (-29.7%) was the worst performing market across EM in Q1. LatAm lagged, finishing the quarter -3.9%. Brazil (-7.3%) was the major driver of muted returns on softer economic data. However, other LatAm countries posted positive returns. Peru (10.4%) was the best (15.8%), followed by Colombia ( 14.6%), Argentina (13.9%) , Mexico was flat.

Important Information

Because of changes in exchange rates the value of your investment, as well as any money you take from it, can go down as well as up.

Some funds may invest in ‘underlying’ funds or other investment vehicles. The performance of our fund, compared to what it’s invested in won’t be exactly the same. That can be due to additional charges, cash management (needed to help people to enter and leave our fund when they want), tax and the timing of investments (this is known as a fund’s dealing cycle, it varies between managers and can be several days).

The value of your client’s investment can go down as well as up and the amount your client gets back may be less than they put in.

These risk ratings have been developed by Prudential to help provide an indication of a fund’s potential level of risk and reward based on the type of assets which may be held by the fund. Other companies may use different descriptions and as such these risk ratings should not be considered as generic across the fund management industry.

We regularly review our fund risk ratings, so they may change in the future. If, in our view, there is a material change in the fund's level of risk, for example due to a significant change to the assets held by the fund or in the way the fund is managed, we will provide information on the new risk rating. We recommend that you make sure you understand the risk rating of any fund before you invest.

Important Information

Because of changes in exchange rates the value of your investment, as well as any money you take from it, can go down as well as up.

Some funds may invest in ‘underlying’ funds or other investment vehicles. The performance of our fund, compared to what it’s invested in won’t be exactly the same. That can be due to additional charges, cash management (needed to help people to enter and leave our fund when they want), tax and the timing of investments (this is known as a fund’s dealing cycle, it varies between managers and can be several days).

Source of performance data: FE fundinfo. We can’t predict the future. Past performance isn’t a guide to future performance. The figures shown are intended only to demonstrate performance history of the fund, after allowing for the impact of fund charges and further costs, but take no account of any Annual Management Charge paid for by the deduction of units. Charges and further costs may vary in the future and may be higher than they are now. Fund performance is based upon the movement of the daily price and is shown as total return in GBP with gross income reinvested. The value of your client’s investment can go down as well as up and the amount your client gets back may be less than they put in.
