Quarterly Fund Manager Review Global equities advanced in the second quarter, supported by the accelerating roll-out of Covid-19 vaccines. Growth stocks outperformed more lowly valued parts of the market. Government bonds yields saw divergent performance. US 10-year yields fell (meaning prices rose) while yields rose in Europe. Corporate bonds outperformed government bonds. Commodities gained with energy again the strongest component. The second quarter was strong for US equities, and the S&P 500 reached a new all-time high in late June. Almost all sectors made gains over the quarter. Tech giants like Apple, Alphabet and Microsoft made strong gains over the quarter. By sector, energy, IT, communication services and real estate were amongst the strongest areas of the market. Utilities and consumer staples lagged. Eurozone shares also gained, supported by a strong corporate earnings season. Many European countries saw Covid-19 infections fall and were able to loosen restrictions on social and economic activity. UK equities also performed well in the second quarter, although beneath the strong headline figure the quarter was mixed. Japanese shares underperformed other developed markets in the second quarter, while emerging market equities registered a strong return. US Treasury yields declined over the quarter, with the 10-year falling from 1.74% to 1.47%, retracing some of the large move higher in the first quarter. The broad backdrop was a continued pronounced rebound in economic activity with annualised inflation rates rising well above target to levels not seen in over a decade. European government bonds underperformed the US, amid growing optimism about the region’s recovery and accelerating vaccination programme. The German 10-year yield rose from -0.29% to -0.20%, France’s from just below zero to 0.13%. The Italian 10-year yield rose from 0.67% to 0.82%. The UK 10-year yield fell from 0.85% to 0.72%, following a sharp rise in the previous period. The UK residential property market has recorded a robust performance in recent months, with strong demand in many parts of the country and prices of homes significantly higher than a year earlier. The Covid-19 pandemic has also accelerated the move to e-retailing, which has led to increased demand for warehouses.
