ALL SEASONS FUND: JULY 2022 – COMMENTARY LETTER
For the month of July, the All Seasons Fund was +2.77%.
Market Review
Global equities rebounded in July despite ongoing potentially pessimistic macroeconomic data. On an inflation-adjusted basis, the U.S. economy contracted in the second quarter and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) trended higher. The Federal Reserve and European Central Bank also hiked their key rates. Growth stocks generally outperformed value stocks over the month as yields were slightly lower.
The fund was positive for the month with several smaller-than-average entries and exits throughout. This may indicate that portfolio hedging has declined from the highs after the large run-up in equities post-Covid.
