Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"T. Bailey's multi-asset funds capitalized on the Fed's pivot to growth support, with infrastructure and value holdings outperforming as market leadership broadened beyond technology."

Executive Summary

T. Bailey's multi-asset funds delivered positive performance in Q3 2024 as central banks shifted focus from inflation control to growth support, creating broader market leadership opportunities. The Federal Reserve's 50-basis-point rate cut marked the official beginning of the easing cycle, benefiting the funds' diversified positioning across asset classes. Infrastructure exposure through VT Gravis UK Infrastructure Fund and existing holdings like Impact Healthcare REIT and Urban Logistics generated strong returns as these sectors recovered from interest rate-driven discounts. Value equities outperformed as technology sector dominance waned, with holdings in Ranmore Global Equity and Havelock Global Select contributing positively. Gold allocation provided strong diversification benefits and returns. Key risks include ongoing geopolitical conflicts and potential market volatility from US election uncertainty. The funds maintain exposure to AI themes while rotating toward beneficiaries outside pure technology. With earnings growth broadening across sectors and continued rate cuts expected, the diversified approach positions the funds well for the evolving market environment while maintaining defensive characteristics through alternative investments.
