How frequently does the letter r appear in:
Unfortunately, turmoil in emerging markets such as Turkey and Brazil contributed to weakness in emerging market securities. The strong performance of the USD contributed to the general misery. As such, the MSCI Emerging Markets equity index declined 2.2% in May, while the JP Morgan Emerging Market Bond Index Global (EMBIG) was off 1.1%.
While ongoing weakness in fixed income securities continued to weigh on the performance of our conservative portfolios, our security selection and overweight allocation to the technology, materials and biotech sectors contributed to the strong performance in our aggressive portfolios.
Many of our equity positions have continued perform very well so far in June, and we have been taking profits in order to fund other opportunities.
Before I sign-off on this commentary, I would also like to take this chance to say how very proud we are of our analyst Krista Uzare. Recently, over a span of two weeks, Krista not only won two successive UIM-ABP Aquabike World Championship Grand Prix titles in Italy, but also achieved a phenomenal result defending her bachelor’s thesis. Congratulations Krista!
