Webcast Summary for M&G (Lux) Optimal Income Fund

The fund is cautiously positioned for economic growth through being short of duration risk and long credit risk. In current circumstances, fund performance will detract as a result of this positive view. But we are seeing valuation opportunities in a number of areas, and have around 35% of ‘risk-free’ cash/bonds to put to work when needed.

Fundamentals support case for emerging markets in 2020

Emerging market (EM) equities have underperformed developed market (DM) stocks in the past decade, leading many investors to be underweight the asset class. We believe the current situation looks promising for EM equities: earnings growth is expected to surpass that in other regions, corporate behaviour is improving, and EM stocks trade at a valuation discount to DM stocks.
