They are named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. Everybody wanted to buy ETFs because ETFs are such great investments. “Not so fast,” said Somebody. “Nobody should buy an ETF without rst understanding the accounting and disclosure risks for the ETF’s basket of stocks.” Everybody scoffed: “Don’t be silly! What could go wrong? Let’s just BUY immediately! Somebody at the ETF must have done that work for us.” Anybody explained how Everybody was wrong in their thinking: “Most ETF prospectuses specically say Nobody at the ETF actually does traditional stock risk analysis.” Everybody read many ETF prospectuses, and, sure enough, Anybody was right! So, while Everybody should know the risks before buying an ETF, Nobody was actually doing it. Until this report was created.

  • Latin American Fund QUARTERLY LETTER | THIRD QUARTER 2019
    Latin American Fund QUARTERLY LETTER | THIRD QUARTER 2019 The Latin American Fund aims to achieve capital growth by investing in a concentrated portfolio of high-quality Latin American growth companies. The Fund seeks high absolute returns over the long term and minimises the level of long-term risk by choosing well- capitalised, high-quality investments at reasonable valuations. INTRODUCTION The fund returned -9.9% (net of fees) in the third quarter and -2.6% year-to-date. While we had a setback in Argentina during the quarter we believe the region is entering a multi-year economic upcycle. In particular, Brazil is passing a series of pro- productivity reforms just as it emerges from a bad recession, setting the scene PETER CAWSTON for a prolonged period of strong growth in this top-ten global economy. We think RUPERT BRANDT, CFA Portfolio Manager Portfolio Manager this is positive for the region as a whole and particularly positive for the private sector in Brazil, where the government will deliberately shrink the market share of state-owned companies, allowing the private sector to grow much faster than the economy without taking undue risk. Interest rates at all-time lows in Brazil will stimulate the economy and should drive a reallocation of local assets from fixed income into equities, potentially kicking off Brazil’s first domestically-driven bull market. We have both spent time in Brazil in the past couple of months and for the first time in years the mood on the ground is very positive. At the end of the quarter we had 64.1% invested in Brazil, 16.5% in Peru, 9.7% in Colombia, 4.8% in Chile, 2.7% in Argentina, and 0.8% in Mexico.
