April 2019
The markets marched on with their gains in April, with euro area equity indices surging more than 5% over the month and close to 18% YTD despite bewilderment from most investors. Market volatility remains well under control on the back of the prospect of easing political and trade tension, reassuring corporate earnings, an overall sound economic situation and weak inflation. Bonds have not been left behind, with the high yield index gaining close to 6.5% YTD, while only sovereign debt saw a slight dip, with the German 10-year moving back into positive territory at the end of the month.

The Sub-Fund's fixed income portfolio may be composed of securities belonging to the "speculative grade" category (i.e. not belonging to the "investment grade" category) or non-rated. The Investment Manager may invest in securities which qualify as distressed securities up to 5% of its net assets.
- Up to 35% of its net assets in equities from issuers belonging to all market capitalisation categories, headquartered in OECD countries and denominated in Euro.
