  • Markets fell sharply towards the end of the month on coronavirus-led fears, with the US 10-year Treasury yield hitting a new low.
     
  • The downward move in bond yields highlights an extreme ‘risk off’ sentiment which boosted defensive stocks while cyclicals, banks and the commodity sectors fell, providing a headwind to Fund performance. 
     
  • Whilst the coronavirus will cause a soft patch economically - it should be finite and we are still likely to see some form of globally co-ordinated response which will include a combination of monetary easing, liquidity provision and fiscal stimulus.
