Commentary
2014 proved out to be another challenging year for the Asian equity market with the MSCI Asian ex-Japan down 0.2% and
the MSCI Japan up 3% on the back of a massive expansion of the BOJs balance sheet. Our fund posted a total
performance of 1.33% return in EUR with a volatility of 3.23% for the year.
Over the year 2014, the Long Short strategy posted a substantial positive performance, as well as the Derivative book. The
Asian Macro is flat, and the Global Hedge delivered negatively.
Our general feeling is that the months ahead may see a rise in market's volatility and eventually a very selective
performance in Global equity markets. Three factors may at least support this view. First, as the recovery is now 7-year old,
global balance sheets in the US and Asia have deteriorated with a rise in debt-to-equity for example. Second, some
uncertainty prevails about Eurozone even if QE is more than expected which should be positive for European Equity. Third,
for the first time since the onset of the GFC, the FED stops being a source of certainty and starts to become a source of
uncertainty with the normalization in US monetary policy.
Our view here is that the FED will rely more on CPI than improvement in the labor market before deciding whether or not
increasing interest rates. As global inflation is falling of the cliff in particular due to the collapse in oil price - with Europe on
the verge of outright deflation, PPI in negative territories on a yearly basis in China and Japan also running the risk to come
back to negative inflation once CPI adjusted for the 2014s hike in VAT we do not believe that the FED will act in isolation
and thus believe in a very modest increase in interest rate late in the year.
2015 should then be both a continuation of the major macro trends seen in 2014 with stabilizing GDP growth and still loose
monetary conditions and also a turnaround in the short-run cycle with a rise in volatility for the above-mentioned reasons.
We then believe that in such an unclear environment and with very tight parameters on Credit products (too tight form our
risk management perspectives) we will keep the Convertible book quiet before markets get back to "normal credit
conditions". Index Volatility on its side, even if very seductive, is still difficult to materialize due to Implicit - Historic spread.
Reason why we strongly believe that 2015 should be a very good year for increasing again our Long Short strategy, and we
take this opportunity to wish you a very good year ahead.
