The Model-portfolio was down during the month of June, with a net change of -1,11 % (+4, 30 % YTD) vs. the benchmark -1,18 %. Global equity markets (MSCI World) ended on a negative note (-2,31 %) for the month. Our underlying Emerging Market bond exposure (-6,51 %) as well as the BlueBay Investment Grade (-2,23 %) and BlueBay High Yield (-3,10 %) were the main contributors on the negative side. Worries about reduced quantitative easing caused bond yields to surge and we witnessed a technical sell-off in multiple markets, despite little change in fundamentals.
Positive contributions for the Model-portfolio came from our US equity exposure (+1,70 %) as well as our Norwegian High Yield corporate bonds. We continue to favour a balanced portfolio and believe that our focus on capital preservation is still the right approach going forward.
