All performance figures are calculated in your selected currency based NAV to NAV with gross income accumulated.

Past performance does not guarantee future returns. The value of an investment can rise or fall with market fluctuations, and you may lose the amount originally invested. The material is based upon information that we consider reliable as of the date shown, but we do not represent that it is accurate, complete, valid or timely, in particular any data communicated to us by a third party, and it should not be relied on as such for any particular purpose. All material is subject to change.

The fund performance is calculated net of investment management fees including commissions and custody fees. The benchmark performances are calculated with net dividend reinvested when applicable. Both performances for funds and benchmarks are calculated using internal software fed by external sources (predominantly Datastream).

The exchange rates used to convert the benchmark and investment funds are the rates published by WM/Reuters at 16:00 (London time) on the last day of the month.

Management comment

Global bond positions made an overall positive contribution to performance over the month : Tactical management of a slight modified duration over-exposure: slightly positive contribution due to the appreciation of global government bond markets; Country allocation (slight overweight US & UK vs. EMU & Japan): positive contribution given the increase in Eurozone yields relative to US Treasuries & UK Gilts; Yield curve allocation (US, UK and EMU flattening): negative contribution in the wake of the US steepening (& to a lesser extent the UK Gilt curve); Bond selection: positive contribution thanks to the spread tightening of Greek, Spanish, Italian and Irish debt. Our credit positions generated a positive contribution. Our emerging bond & currency market overlay fund, Amundi Global Emergents (in which some global bond funds and the majority of VaR funds are invested) posted a positive performance in both absolute (+1.26%) and relative (+0.23%) terms in July. Our inter-bloc strategies posted gains as the EUR gained ground against the CAD (+3.25%) and the Yen (+3.95%). Our intra-bloc arbitrages outperformed this month.The varied emerging debt currency bets provided a negative contribution over the month. Trading was positive.

Management guidance

The investment objective is to generate an absolute return (3-month GBP Libor + 1% p.a.) over one year through the dynamic allocation of the ex-ante VaR (max. 2% p.a.) on OECD and non-OECD bond and currency markets. The investment team diversifies this allocation among top-down strategic positions (both directional and relative value), bottom-up tactical bets, and trading.
