【入息】2021年1月基金評論

市場現況:

憑藉在喬治亞州兩次附加選舉的勝利,民主黨順利的控制了美國參議院。這使人們對於拜登總統能夠通過其大規模經濟刺激計劃的期望有所上升,而這也激勵市場情緒,連帶帶動全球股市創下歷史新高。然而,在本月晚時候,人們對新變種新冠病毒越來越擔憂,此外,進一步的封鎖和疫苗推出的問題,以及在同意援助方案方面沒有明顯進展都導致股價下跌。今年的獲利在世界許多地區都被抹平了。

以整個月計,全球股市溫和下跌。儘管香港和中國大陸股市與納斯達克一齊上漲,但歐洲市場,特別是西班牙、義大利和法國,以及美國整體指數均下跌。

1.9萬億美元經濟刺激計劃的可能性引起了人們對通貨膨脹的擔憂,並打壓了美國公債,而其他主權債券市場(如來自歐洲外圍國家、英國和新興市場的債券)則表現疲軟。儘管高收益債券的價格小幅上漲,但投資級債溫和下跌。

基金下跌了一些,主要的下跌因素是對美國長天期政府債券的部位,由於投資者考慮了美國財政刺激計劃的潛在影響,殖利率上升。

貨幣也影響了我們持有的一些新興市場政府債券。儘管巴西、南非和哥倫比亞的債券價格上漲,但這些國家貨幣的疲軟抵消了兌換成歐元時的獲利。另一方面,英鎊和美元的走強提高了我們持有的英國和美國公司債券的價值,這有助於債券的配置並且產生適度的正獲利。然而,本月為績效貢獻最多的是我們的股票曝險,其中最大的獲利來自亞洲,尤其是韓國、中國和日本股票。儘管金融類股表現疲軟,但美國股市整體上還是正面的。金融業也阻礙了歐洲股票的回報。

1月初,隨著股票價格上漲,一些投資者欣喜的跡像開始出現,例如機構投資者持有的平均現金水準下降。在2020年對股票進行積極的重新估值中,並且很大一部分是提高估值,儘管企業獲利下降,但股票價格仍在上漲。現在,投資者似乎對2021年的獲利將強勁復甦充滿信心。但是,正如我們上個月提到,當共識變得一致時,我們認為您應該對意外保持警惕。

部位調整:

繼2020年末股市強勁反彈和新的一年不錯的開場(並牢記上述評論)之後,我們認為透過投資於股票的高曝險以獲得補償的可能性已經下降。因此,我們認為透過減少在美國、日本、德國、中國和加拿大的各種持股量來減少一月初的股票曝險是明智的。

但是,從長遠來看,我們認為經濟數據表明全球復甦速度合理。加上政府和中央銀行持續高水準支持,我們認為適度偏向風險資產仍然適當,同時持有有意義的防禦資產以抵消市場反轉的可能性。因此,當殖利率飆升時,我們利用美國政府債券的拋售來增加部位。我們認為,因為增長、需求和工資成長可能仍保持疲軟,通膨在短期內不太可能迅速上升,從而損害這些債券。

最後,是市場上長後,我們獲利了結哥倫比亞和南非的政府債券的部位。
