【入息】2021年10月基金評論

市場現況:

儘管不乏令投資者擔憂的因素,但全球股市在10月份普遍表現良好,並在月底接近歷史高位。儘管投資者仍然擔心通膨上升增加升息的可能性,以及經濟成長放緩,但強勁的企業盈利似乎使對股票的需求保持在高位。

美國市場領漲,所有主要市場指數本月均創下歷史新高,但歐洲市場也表現強勁。然而,並非所有市場都上漲,日本是一個明顯的例外,因為日本投資者在大選前變得謹慎。中國股市也表現滯後,經濟成長受到停電、與COVID相關的限制以及房地產行業持續性債務問題的打擊。由於巴西和印度下跌,新興市場也表現不佳。

固定收益市場出現了一些不尋常的活動,特別是在美國,長天期政府公債殖利率下降而短天期殖利率上升,導致殖利率曲線趨於平坦。這可能是因為央行似乎變得更加鷹派,暗示短期內需要更高的利率來控制通膨。

通膨上升的前景往往對新興市場政府公債產生不利影響,其價格相應下跌。外圍歐洲國家公債也下跌,而英國公債因政府的借款似乎不必像之前預期的那樣多而上漲。然而,公司債失勢。

在石油和天然氣的帶動下,大宗商品價格繼續保持強勁走勢,銅也在升值。同時,在貨幣市場上,英鎊相對於大多數其他貨幣升值。美元相對於歐元上漲,但日元走弱。

本基金產生了正報酬,其中股票配置貢獻最大。我們在美國的持股,分佈在一般、科技和金融產業,增值最多,而歐洲股票也做出了相當大的貢獻。在股票中,唯一的實質性下跌者是日本,尤其是鐵路運營商。

我們持有的長天期美國公債也激勵了績效表現,因為價格上漲。我們的葡萄牙和公司債券持平,而新興市場債券則略微為負。巴西債券下跌,貨幣波動加劇了疲軟,儘管這被秘魯債券和貨幣的上漲所抵消。

儘管長天期美國公債表現優異,但我們仍然認為該部位有可能在出現意外負成長時為投資組合提供保護。我們也同意投資者的結論,即通膨的上升將是暫時的,儘管對於「暫時的」所定義的時間有多長存在著一些爭論;因此,我們維持該基金的有意義的部位。然而,我們確實調整了我們的股票曝險。

部位調整:

繼銀行股表現強勁後,我們認為應謹慎分散我們的股票曝險。我們減持了美國和歐洲的金融類股,並在美國和亞洲進行了再投資,主要投資於科技和醫療保健產業。在我們看來,這些領域在經歷了一段相對表現不佳的時期後看起來很有吸引力。我們持有相當大的金融股部位,因為我們認為它們在利率上升的背景下可能表現良好,即使投資者目前似乎並不太擔心這種可能性。這些變化並未改變我們對股票的整體配置,我們將其描述為中等風險。
