  • Finance for Tomorrow Brings Together Asset Managers and Asset Owners
    Finance for Tomorrow brings together asset managers and asset owners representing 3.6 trillion euros in the first global engagement coalition to promote a just transition to low-carbon economies. Paris, 30 June 2021 – Finance for Tomorrow announces the launch of “Investors for a Just Transition”: the first global investor engagement coalition on the just transition. Bringing together asset managers and asset owners of the French financial ecosystem, along with corporates, the coalition aims to promote a socially acceptable transition to low-carbon economies. The founding members of the coalition will commit to engaging with companies, encouraging them to integrate the social aspects of the transition into their strategies and to highlight best practices within key industries. Through this collaborative platform, investors will work with different stakeholders – companies, labor unions, universities and research institutes – to define a common strategy and specific engagement objectives. Initiated by Finance for Tomorrow, the coalition currently represents 3.6 trillion euros and includes Amundi, Aviva France, AXA & AXA Investment Managers, Caisse des Dépôts, CNP Assurances, CPR Asset Management, Eiffel, ERAFP, La Banque Postale Asset Management, ODDO BHF Asset Management, Rothschild & Co Asset Management Europe, and SCOR Investment Partners among its founding members. Major players such as the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) have also joined the coalition as observers. With the COP26 to be held in a context marked by the social and economic fallout from the Covid-19 crisis, the concept of the just transition has emerged as a major factor of the global fight against climate change. Indeed, the environmental transition will only be possible through the consideration of social issues, whether they affect workers, local communities, consumers, or civil society as a whole.

    € FUND MANAGER'S COMMENT 31/08/2021 FIXEDHKD INCOME AXA WF Asian High Yield Bonds A (H) m HKD Fund manager's report The Asian High Yield Bond Fund’s (or “AHY”) gross return was 2.46%, while JACI HY was 2.07%. Performance was supported by stable carry generated by underlying bonds and spread tightening driven the overall risk-on sentiment in the market. The outperformance was driven by our underweight in weak and highly leveraged single-B property credits. We don’t think the recovery and growth outlook is negated by the Delta – and possibly other – variant(s), but there could be some “air-pockets” in the data and in investor sentiment as a result. And for many, inflation and the prospect of tapering will need to be taken into account in managing portfolios. For monetary policy, now is not the time to tighten yet. Inflation has jumped higher but the ex-post look at price indices is likely to show a one-step jump in the level of prices during the COVID-era rather than a steepening of the price curve (inflation). The Jackson Hole speech from Jay Powell suggested that there are two decisions to make about tapering and rate increases. The tapering decision is based on progress towards the Fed’s economic targets – which there is. This allows some flexibility in terms of the timing and scale of running down asset purchases. For rate hikes, we need to see full employment and clear evidence that inflation is running at the Fed’s target. Those conditions are some way off while the path of GDP expansion has become a little bit more volatile.

    € FUND MANAGER'S COMMENT 31/08/2021 ROSENBERGEUR EQUITIES AXA Rosenberg Global Equity Alpha Fund A EUR Fund manager's report Global equities made further gains as the US Federal Reserve (Fed) sought to calm investor worries about its plans to tighten monetary policy. Some favourable corporate earnings results, notably in Europe, provided further support and helped the benchmark MSCI World Index hit all-time high levels, returning +2.5% over the month. Concerns about the spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19 and signs of slowing economic growth in China unsettled markets, while worries earlier in the month that the Fed was about to start scaling back its massive quantitative easing programme added further pressure. The US dollar hit a nine-month high during August as it benefitted from uncertainty about the Fed’s ‘tapering’ plans and concerns about rises in global COVID-19 infections. Oil prices retreated because of the dollar’s strength and pandemic-induced worries about the outlook for demand. Among sectors, technology and communication services stocks were the leaders in August, with financials and utilities also outperforming. The laggards this month, and the only sectors in negative territory, were energy and materials, which fell as supply and demand imbalances were reduced and the dollar rose. From a factor perspective, value and low volatility styles lagged growth and quality as investors reacted positively to the dovish stance of the Fed and strong momentum in corporate earnings. The Fund modestly underperformed its benchmark in August, driven largely by unrewarded stock selection in the consumer discretionary and technology sectors.

The situation across much of Asia has continued to disrupt normal working patterns with most employees working remotely, amplifying the challenges of running a multi-faceted, international business. Despite these challenges, hiring activity has continued across a variety of functions indicating a willingness amongst managers to push through critical hires. Interestingly, hiring levels were slightly elevated against Q3 2019, although this is likely down to the lack of the summer ‘lull’ when decision makers typically take annual leave. NEWS ▪ UOB Asset Management has partnered with FNZ Group to launch a robo- advisory mobile app for retail investors in Singapore. In similar news, Franklin Templeton in Singapore has partnered with Razer Fintech to roll out a digital wealth management platform to target millennials in Southeast Asia. ◼ Affin Hwang Asset Management has teamed up with Versa Asia Kuala, a Kuala Lumpur-based fintech firm, to launch a digital cash management platform via a mobile app. ▪ AIA Thailand has received licences for private fund management and mutual fund management from Thailand’s regulator for its newly formed investment management subsidiary, AIA Investment Management Thailand. ▪ CCB Principal Asset Management in Hong Kong has been awarded licenses for asset management (Type9) and advising on securities (Type4).
