C8/GreenBlue Good Governance US Equity L/S Certificate up 2.1% in May 2020

It was another strong month for the Certificate, which rose by 2.1% in May, as the S&P 500 continued to recover ground from Feb/Mar falls. This took the performance of the Certificate to +2.3% since inception, on the 21 January, even with an up to 40% long market bias. The ‘Good Governance’ risk premia has shone through in the past few months, and we have noted similar outperformance in the backtest during 2008/09 and in other down years for US stocks.

Maybe Japan and Europe aren’t going to be affected by the Trump tariffs? Last time we looked, they made a whole lot of automobiles, but what do we know? Read more →

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%.
