Multi-Asset Monthly Comment - September 2024 [nur auf Englisch]

RAM Global Multi-Asset

Financial markets experienced volatility during the first days of September. This move was largely driven by shifting expectations around central bank policies and concerns over slowing economic growth and softer labor market conditions. The Fed’s 50 bps rate cut was welcomed by investors, who interpreted it as a signal of further easing. In response, equity markets rebounded, yields on treasuries declined, supporting fixed income assets. The dollar depreciated against major currencies, oil remained sensitive to geopolitical factors and economic concerns fed fears of weaker demand. Finally, gold posted strong gains on the back of easing monetary policy and economic uncertainty.

Traditional assets were the primary contributors to performance, with equities accounting for most of the gains. Within single-stock equity exposures, China and U.S. technology stocks delivered the largest positive contributions, followed by all-cap exposures in emerging markets. In the Tactical Fixed Income segment, investment-grade and developed market government bonds had a notable positive impact, with EU high-yield exposure also generating gains. In the Alternative category, the standout performer continued to be the Equity Market Neutral strategy. Fixed Income Long/Short also provided a positive return, while other strategies such as CTA, Macro Systematic, and Event Driven had minimal effect on performance. Risk-reducing strategies closed in positive territory, largely due to profits secured earlier in the month.
