Market Update: Recession fears trigger US market selloff

02 Aug 2024 - Fresh activity data triggered fears that the Fed has left it too late to start its rate cut cycle and risks of a recession are rising.

Elston Quarterly Portfolio Update Q324

 16th July 2024 


In this video, Portfolio Manager Leon de Wet provides his perspective on current macroeconomic environment, its implications for markets, and what it means for portfolios. 


We have made several tactical asset allocation (TAA) changes to portfolios. The general themes are that we have neutralised the underweight to International Equities and increased the overweight to Fixed Interest, funded by reducing exposure to Cash.

Key Investment Rational for TAA Changes:

  • Globally, both inflation and growth have slowed as tight monetary policy restrains activity but economies, especially the US, continue to expand.
  • We expect inflation and interest rates to be lower over the next 12 months, and economic growth to improve both domestically and abroad.
  • With interest rates at or near peak levels, higher bond yields now offer attractive asymmetric return opportunities in fixed income — income plus the upside if interest rates fall outweighs losses, if any, if rates were to rise. We see Fixed Interest outperforming Cash over the next 12 months.
  • Valuations in certain segments of the equity market are elevated, driven largely by the US mega-cap growth stocks, however these companies have delivered strong profit growth.
  • The eventual improvement in economic growth should see companies in more countries and sectors grow profits. This points to a broadening of equity market opportunities, which we see as a positive signal to neutralise the underweight to International Equities.
