“In August, the improvement in the US economy was confirmed, particularly through strong GDP growth in the second quarter. Meanwhile, Asia experienced a strong rebound, with the SARS threat seemingly a thing of the past. We have increased our weighting in Asia, introducing Nouvelle Croissance Asie. We have reduced our defensive funds of funds positions in LMS Global Bond Fund (Banque du Louvre) and ADI Convex Valor (ADI AM).”
