Dear Investor,
November Brings Marginal Losses from Fixed Income and Foreign Exchange...
After much anticipation and debate, Quantitative Easing 2 ("QE2") arrived, the
second effort by the U.S. Federal Reserve to stimulate the U.S. economy through
government bond purchases. Perhaps a case of "buy the rumor, sell the fact,"
bond prices fell following the announcement and continued to fall for the
remainder of the month generating losses for the Trust in fixed income trading.
In currency trading, once QE2 was announced, the U.S. Dollar never looked back.
The Trust's short U.S. Dollar position was significantly reduced during the
month; however, small losses in currency trading were incurred. In Europe, the
Euro dropped below 1.30 for the first time in more than 10 weeks as speculation
leaned toward a worsening debt crisis, and unemployment in the region rose to
the highest level in more than 12 years.
Commodities were volatile and mixed, generating small gains in the sector for
the Trust on the month. Gains in energy trading and metals were dampened by
losses in grains and soft commodities. While the energy complex made new highs
for the year, primarily on the Chinese inflation story, cotton prices fell 26%
from the mid-November high. It seems to be all about China these days as they
attempt to dampen growth for fear of inflation.
Equity trading was marginally positive despite mixed performance around the
globe. While major U.S. indices finished slightly lower on the month, Japan's
Nikkei was up 8%, primarily driven by the weakening yen.
Global Central Bank intervention has made trading based solely on macroeconomic
measures difficult. Our models have naturally tilted to technical indicators
until the value of fundamental information is once again relevant to asset
prices. We find it quite advantageous to be a systematic investment manager as
we navigate through this market volatility in search of opportunity.
As we enter this holiday season, we wish you and your family good health and
good fortune.
Sincerely,
Terri Becks
