Fund Commentary
Fund’s objectives: Seeking absolute returns in USD
and portfolio insurance through diversification into asset
class with low correlation to financial assets (bonds,
equities and currencies).
Gold continued its strong recovery in February, rising 6.6%. Silver
also performed well (+10.7%), breaking through the psychological
barrier of USD 20 per ounce. A weaker US dollar and geopolitical
tensions over the Ukraine increased the demand for precious
metals as a safe haven. Also, after a long period of strong net
outflows from gold ETFs, February finally saw a small net inflow,
the first since 2012. This is important, as it is a good indication
of growing investor demand for gold. The P&C Global Gold and
Natural Resources Fund was up 7.1%. The NAV currently stands
at USD 1,196.15 per fund share.
Investment vehicles: Gold mining equities (<100%),
physical gold, silver and precious metals (<100%), cash
(<50%). Plus other natural resource equities and
commodities. Cash used for capital preservation.
Significant gold sector exposure expected.
Investment restrictions: Min 20 holdings, 10% max
single share holding, 15% max single issuer, 5% max
unlisted equities, normally no currency hedging.
February’s positive performance was driven mainly by precious
metals equities. Stocks which performed extremely well, and
in which we have a significant holding, were Continental Gold
(+46%), Centamin (+29%), Endeavour Mining (+20%) and
Pan American Silver (+12%). Within the portfolio, the biggest
underperformer was once again Regis Resources (-13%), whose
open pit operations have been hit by a major flooding incident.
However, post-flood remediation is now well underway, and we
continue to like the fundamentals of the company, which has an
excellent management team.
