Make something of yourself

America, they say is the land of opportunity. The tale of Thomas Peterffy and Interactive Brokers (“IBKR”), which we first bought in 2021, is one of many American rags to riches success stories giving rise to this adage. Peterffy was born on the wrong side of the iron curtain, in Hungary, during World War II. The story goes that he was delivered in...

Equities - February in review

Following a strong start to the year, February witnessed a divergence in performance across global equity markets. The S&P 500 finished the month down by 2.4% in US dollar terms, whereas the Euro STOXX 50 and FTSE 100 both finished the month up by 1.9% and 1.8%, respectively in their local currencies. Most notably, February marked an all-time high for the FTSE 100. In amongst strong labour market data, inflation continued to prove persistent, leaving central banks with little option but to continue with their sustained hawkish monetary policies. In fixed income markets, yields rose on US, UK and German 10-year bonds by 41, 49 and 37 basis points, respectively. The pound fell 1.8% against the US dollar and 2.4% against the euro.

Shell’s stealth dividend

“Arbitrage” is a fancy word which is often used in the finance industry. Essentially it means taking advantage of price differentials in the same asset, across markets, in order to make a quick buck. It’s what keeps markets efficient. By way of example, if you could buy a share in Microsoft on the New York Stock Exchange and simultaneously sell it at a...

January in review

After a particularly turbulent year for investors, global equity and fixed income markets had a strong start to 2023. The S&P 500, Euro STOXX 50 and FTSE 100 all finished the month up by 6.3%, 9.9% and 4.3%, respectively in their local currencies. Although the pressures of inflation, monetary policy and geo-political conflict continued to weigh in on investors, optimism spurred amongst positive news of stabilising gas prices, relaxation of Covid restrictions and resilient labour markets. Fixed income markets continued their correlation with global equity markets, although in a more forgiving direction for investors thus far. Yields fell on US, UK and German 10-year bonds by 37, 34 and 29 basis points, respectively. The pound gained 2.0% on the US dollar and gained 1.5% on the euro.

December in review

Following on from two consecutive positive months, global equity and bond markets fell in the final month of 2022. Despite inflation gradually trending downwards in the US, investor sentiment had not yet recovered in the face of uncertainty surrounding the timing of a pivot in the Federal Reserve’s hawkish monetary policy. The S&P 500, Euro STOXX 50 and FTSE 100 all finished the month down by 5.8%, 4.0% and 1.5%, respectively in their local currencies. Meanwhile in China, the Hang Seng delivered a positive return of 6.4%, bolstered by a continued relaxation of zero-Covid policy restrictions. Negative sentiment within fixed income markets led to a rise in yields on US, UK and German 10-year bonds by 27, 51 and 64 basis points respectively. The pound gained 0.2% on the US dollar and fell by 2.5% against the euro.

This too shall pass

The Old Testament tale of Joseph offers an important lesson for long term investors – that of cycles. In it, Joseph interpreted Pharoah’s dream of seven fat cows consuming seven thin ones, portending seven years of bountiful harvests followed by seven years of famine and successfully advised Pharaoh to stockpile grain in preparation. “Forecasting” is a dirty word amongst...
