TAARSS rotation strategy monthly performance review
Monthly TAARSS rotations were mixed in May. Most equity strategies underperformed their benchmarks, while non-equity strategies outperformed.
Tactical positioning for June 2015 based on TAARSS
This month in global equity markets prefer Intl DM and EM, and stay neutral to the US. Region wise prefer Asia Pacific and Europe, with neutral North American exposure, while staying away from Latin America. In US equities we don’t see much differentiation therefore we recommend a broad approach. Sector wise we see weakness across the board, but we expect Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Health Care to be more resilient. In Intl DM countries prefer Hong Kong, Japan, and non-EUR countries such as Switzerland and the UK. Within EM countries, we recommend a country approach focusing on India, and China. In Fixed Income we prefer Credit over Rates, particularly EM debt. Within commodities, we saw some support in diversified broad exposure. See Figure 13 and Figure 14 for full allocation details for the month of June.
