Christian Jost
“The latest changes to our portfolio moved the spotlight to Europe, where the confidence in the traditional markets seems to have been restored. Our critical disinvestments in the Japanese and other Asian markets were due to their loss of attraction, caused by high volatility and, furthermore, possible market restrictions in China. These funds, amounting to 13.5 per cent of the total capital in use, were transferred to Europe, where, in order to avert further risks and maintain a stable portfolio, most were put into European fixed income strategies.”
