Back to the Future

Back to the Future

The recent Fed meeting was a notable development that has influenced our conviction, outlook and positioning for the Fund. By signaling to the market that they will respond if inflation proves to be less transitory than thought, the Fed has reduced the risk of being forced into much faster and more aggressive policy action further down the road and as a result, likely extended the economic cycle. In our view, a longer cycle is one in which our targeted thematic exposures to companies and sectors that stand to benefit from secular growth drivers will outperform the broader market, as the inevitable shift to a greener and more digital economy is given room to breathe. DMAF was highly dynamic throughout the period, adjusting exposures to ensure we are well-positioned to deliver for clients as we move past the reflation story and markets focus shifts back to the future. After having reduced our equity position in March, we have increased our equity allocation (+12.5%) via our thematic baskets and broad market indices while removing more inflation sensitive assets such as gold (-4.4%) as the tail risk of runaway inflation is reduced. ...

Earlier in 2021 we had introduced a basket focusing on shipping companies, tied to the expected growth in a supply constrained shipping industry. This market is controlled by an oligopoly of alliances, with an ageing fleet and where the supply of boats is slow to increase due to environmental consideration hence, benefiting from high barriers to entry and pricing power. In addition, the pandemic has accelerated the already constrained supply, pushing demand as consumers switched from services like restaurants to goods such as computers and tablets, and standard container rates on some transpacific routes have more than quadrupled. This new cycle is much more physical in nature than the previous one which means higher volume of goods in movement which should keep shipping costs elevated. ... READ MORE

We continue to look for new ways to capitalize on the green theme, which has been turbo-charged by the pandemic. We have added to our decarbonization & sustainability basket and worked to expand our understanding of the growing and underestimated downstream businesses of our forestry companies. As the race towards net zero carbon emissions intensifies, companies and corporates are looking to negative emission technologies to bolster their efforts. This basket focuses on woodland assets that stand to benefit from this theme as a natural and effective means of carbon capture. Additionally, many of these companies are well placed to benefit from increased use of sustainable materials for packaging and energy production. This basket of high quality, low multiple stocks with high dividend yields and strong ESG scores provides the portfolio with an innovative exposure to the increasingly important sustainability economy. ...

Benchmark - Unless referenced in the prospectus and relevant key investor information document, a benchmark or index in this material is not used in the active management of the Fund, in particular for performance comparison purposes.

Where referenced in the prospectus and relevant key investor information document a benchmark may be used as part of the active management of the Fund including, but not limited to, for duration measurement, as a benchmark which the Fund seeks to outperform, performance comparison purposes and/or relative VaR measurement. Any reference to an index or benchmark in this material, and which is not referenced in the prospectus and relevant key investor information document, is purely for illustrative or informational purposes (such as to provide general financial information or market context) and is not for performance comparison purposes. Please contact your PIMCO representative for further details.” 

Correlation - As outlined under “Benchmark”, where referenced in the prospectus and relevant key investor information document, a benchmark may be used as part of the active management of the Fund. In such instances, certain of the Fund’s securities may be components of and may have similar weightings to the benchmark and the Fund may from time to time show a high degree of correlation with the performance of any such benchmark. However the benchmark is not used to define the portfolio composition of the Fund and the Fund may be wholly invested in securities which are not constituents of the benchmark.

Investors should note that a Fund may from time to time show a high degree of correlation with the performance of one or more financial indices not referenced in the prospectus and relevant key investor information document.  Such correlation may be coincidental or may arise because any such financial index may be representative of the asset class, market sector or geographic location in which the Fund is invested or uses a similar investment methodology to that used in managing the Fund.”
