【入息】2021年4月基金評論

市場現況:

隨著許多主要股市創新高,四月許多風險資產表現佳。受到疫苗在世界各地推出,以及多個國家開始從封鎖措施中復甦導致經濟數據表現佳,投資人因此受到激勵。央行持續的寬鬆政策以及進一步的紓困方案,尤其是在美國,也提供了支撐。然而,也有一些因素使投資者感到擔憂,儘管這是暫時的,例如印度的新冠肺炎確診人數激增、日本的緊急停工、歐洲的技術性衰退以及中美之間的緊張局勢恢復。

公司的獲利狀況整體而言非常穩健並且打敗先前的預測。然而,在本月晚些時候,對未來的預期似乎上升的太高以至於公布強勁的獲利表現時沒辦法提升股價。從各地來看,股票上漲是由美國市場主導的,這幫助全球指數創下新紀錄。英國也取得可觀的漲幅,新興市場也上漲。然而,歐洲市場有所滯後,義大利下跌,此外,因受到新一輪新冠肺炎影響,日本也表現不佳。

在固定收益市場方面,美國公債從最近的疲軟中復甦且獲得穩定的報酬,儘管歐洲政府債券價格下跌,新興市場政府債券表現佳。債券市場大致上表現平穩。

基金在股票的配置在本月獲利基本持平,美國和英國的獲利被匯率和亞洲資產的下跌所抵銷。在歐洲,表現最佳的是法國和英國,而德國的持股量則下降。美國和加拿大的金融類股也支撐了表現。另一方面,我們在日本的股票部位表現不佳,而在中國、韓國和台灣的股票也下跌。

新興市場政府債券下跌,巴西和南非債券的獲利超過了受貨幣疲軟影響的哥倫比亞、智利和秘魯債券的損失。主流政府債券的配置中,美國公債獲利不錯,但葡萄牙政府債券下跌。

目前,全球金融市場似乎處於十字路口,投資者必須權衡成功推出疫苗的樂觀情緒,導致全球經濟迅速復甦,並同時擔心這可能會使通膨上升並進一步引發利率上升。我們承認,較高的通膨率是有可能的,尤其是在短期內,因為去年油價極低,而這與目前的較高水準相比將使通膨數據呈現高成長。但是,我們認為,多年來一直使通膨率保持在較低水準的通貨緊縮壓力仍然存在。此外,中央銀行已表示願意忍受較高的通膨,直到就業數據恢復到更高水準為止。因此,我們認為綜合所有因素未來經濟將進一步增長。而這可能會鼓勵股票價格上漲,但我們必須牢記股票的估值目前已經充分的被反應。

部位調整:

有鑑於經濟增長很可能會繼續反彈,並且短期內美國大幅提高利率的可能性很小,因此,我們認為將投資組合的曝險定為中性至略微為正向仍然是適當的。而這意味著它將受益於股市的進一步上漲。我們將持有的股票、公司債券和新興市場政府債券的風險與長天期美國政府債券的風險進行平衡,我們認為這將使我們的資產多元化並且順利度過風險偏好惡化的時期。我們在4月沒有對投資組合進行任何更改,但準備在未來動盪但具有投資機會的情況下做出動態回應。
