C8/GreenBlue Good Governance US Equity L/S Certificate February Report

In the first Monthly Report for the C8/GreenBlue Good Governance US Equity L/S Certificate we focus on the large out-performance of the Certificate versus the S&P 500. One of the standout attributes in the backtest is that, whilst our Index typically performs well in equity bull markets, importantly it tends to outperform the S&P in volatile/bear markets, as capital heads to the safety of ‘well run’ companies. The last few weeks has been the first live test of this thesis, and we are pleased that this has indeed, so far, occurred.  At Friday’s close, the Certificate is up 1.2% since inception on January 21st, despite having a 40% long bias and the S&P500 dropping nearly 10%.

C8 Currency Compass – October 2024

BY JON WEBB
A strong start from Currency Compass last month, where we called for a 50bp Fed rate cut camp but noting our currency models point to EURUSD and GBPUSD weakness, so any bounce is a good opportunity to add EUR and GBP hedges.  Indeed it was, with EURUSD hitting 1.12 and GBPUSD 1.34 before falling back.  Stronger US data, in particular the employment report, helped cement this view, the chart below illustrates  how recent US data has pushed up the Atlanta Fed Q3 GDPNow forecast from 2% to above 3%.

MI2 Partners Thoughts From The Divide: Warm and Fuzzy

BY JON WEBB
Given that it’s Valentine’s Day, some of you may be feeling warm and fuzzy courtesy of a significant other. Of course, others might be married. But for those of you who are following the latest economic data, the warm fuzzy feeling may apply doubly. Consumer spending data could definitely give the impression all is right with the world if BofA’s Moynihan’s data applies across the board, “The bank’s retail customers are spending about 6% more money in the first 40 days of this year compared with the same period in 2024”.
