    • Annual Market Update to 31 December 2011
    • Volatility persisted throughout the 12 months ending in December, as global equity and bond markets faltered in the wake of bad news; a continuation of the sovereign debt crisis in the eurozone, political turmoil in North Africa and the Middle East, an earthquake and tsunami in Japan and growing fears about the high level of U.S. debt. Events escalated during the latter part of the year and consequently, investors experienced a dramatic and highly volatile third quarter. However, the markets rallied again towards the end of the year. [... More]

    • Fourth Quarter 2011 Market Update
    • Stock and bond markets generally rallied in October, declined in November and were mixed in December.

    • October 2011 Market Update

    • Second Quarter 2011 Market Update
    • The good news currently balances out the bad news, with resilient global growth trumping higher energy costs and the disruption to global supply chains. We favour a tilt toward U.S. equities, despite the country's debt burden. [... More]
