Commentary

As of 30 June 2026

Market Overview

  • Q2 2026 saw the strongest quarterly return for global equities since the Q2 2020 Covid rebound.
  • Global bonds also delivered solid returns with yields remaining relatively stable even as inflation readings remained uncomfortably high from higher energy prices.
  • Economic data continued to paint a mixed picture in many countries. US economic data remained resilient, and this combined with some more hawkish rhetoric from the Federal Reserve contributed to a stronger US dollar.
  • Other central bank activity saw hikes from the European, Japanese and Australian central banks in an effort to keep inflation in check.

Fund Highlights

  • The Conservative Fund posted a strong return over June and an exceptionally strong return for the second quarter of 2026.
  • The Global Bond Fund outperformed during the second quarter of 2026, with positive contributions from rates positioning, sector allocation and security selection.
  • Local bonds had a very strong second quarter, comfortably outperforming their global counterparts.
  • The Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund outperformed the benchmark in June, but did not keep pace with the strong returns over the quarter.
