Indeed, a see-saw effect was in evidence during the opening months of the year with markets down in January, up in February and then for completeness, broadly flat in March. Headline news was reflective of this: markets rise, the recovery stalls, economic green shoots strengthen. Will Markets have reacted with moderate indifference to events in Eastern Europe, certain governments continue to look beyond their borders, either to enhance their interests, or to deflect from domestic issues. With an increasing divergence between economies and geographically focused stock markets, we are convinced that our thematic stock-picking approach is well suited to the current environment, particularly given the flexibility of our investment strategies and the depth of our investment research capability. Despite the challenges that we may face in the future, both predicable and unseen, investment opportunities will always exist for the long term investor, particularly for those invested in businesses that have the ability to weather short term macroeconomic turbulence.
