Sector Commentary
Overall Fund performance was positive, led by gains in the equities, metals, energies and grains and foods sectors. Losses in the fixed income and currencies sectors partially offset trading profits.
Positive performance in equities was driven by positions in the FTSE, MSCI EM, Nasdaq and Hang Seng indices. Performance in metals was driven by positions in gold and platinum. Gains in energies were led by positions in brent oil and crude oil. Losses in heating oil and gas oil positions offset some of the gains. Performance in grains and foods was slightly positive, as gains in positions in wheat, cotton and soybean oil were mostly offset by losses in soybean meal, soybeans and cocoa.
Negative performance in the fixed income sector was driven by positions in the Bund, U.S. Treasury Bond and Euro OAT Futures. Performance in the currencies sector was negative and led by positions in foreign exchange of the U.S. dollar against the euro, euro and the Australian dollar.
