Peter Fitzgerald
“The markets continued upwards in December, perhaps discounting the expected seasonal strength of January. Generally when something is widely known or expected, the markets will do what is required to ensure few make money from it. The asset allocation of the portfolio remained unchanged in December. However, within the equity section of our portfolio, we have continued to increase our exposure to the US markets taking advantage of both a weak dollar and relatively attractively priced stocks.”
