Fund manager commentary
30 April 2025
Please note that the commentary below includes historic information on sector performance, commodity price performance and the Company’s NAV performance.
The figures shown relate to past performance. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future results.
The Company’s NAV fell -6.2% in April (in GBP terms).
Global equity markets in April were shaped by heightened volatility, policy uncertainty, and a sharp rotation in market leadership. Most notably, the announcement of broad, punitive US tariffs early in the month triggered a global sell-off and spiked volatility, with the VIX reaching its highest level since the pandemic. Later, a partial softening of US trade policy, including a pause and removal of some tariffs, helped markets recover some losses, but uncertainty remained elevated. US equities underperformed most global peers, with the S&P 500 down 0.7% for the month. The technology-heavy "Magnificent 7" stocks saw a sharp derating, falling 15% year-to-date. Growth stocks outperformed value in developed markets, but the energy sector’s poor performance dragged on value indices. European and UK equities outperformed the US, buoyed by expectations for lower interest rates and fiscal stimulus, despite their own trade and growth headwinds. Emerging markets, particularly Mexico, Brazil, and China, showed resilience, supported by fiscal support and easing US-China tensions.
From an energy sector perspective, oil prices fell sharply on recession fears and increased supply from OPEC. There were further discussions of the US tightening sanctions on Iran, including use of secondary sanctions, which could put 1m+ barrels of Iranian oil exports at risk. From a demand perspective, the EIA cut its oil demand estimate by 0.4mn for 2025, mainly driven by escalating trade tensions, which have negatively impacted the global economic outlook. Despite the lower demand estimate, the EIA is still estimating global oil demand growth, mainly in Asia (India +0.3mn bbl/d and China +0.2mn bbl/d in both 2025 and 2026). The Brent oil price fell -17.9%, whilst the WTI oil price fell -17.1%, ending the month at $63/bbl and $60bbl respectively. The US Henry Hub natural gas price fell -18.9% during the month to end at $3.35/mmbtu.
Regarding the sustainable energy theme, towards the end of the month, Spain and Portugal experienced nationwide blackouts after 15GW of electricity generating capacity (equivalent to ~60% of Spain’s power demand at the time) dropped off the system. This incident has drawn attention to the need to invest in ageing EU power grids and energy storage capacity to prevent further incidents. US Commerce announced final tariff announcements on solar cells from South-East Asia, which were similar or slightly higher than the preliminary amounts.
The mining sector experienced notable volatility in April, primarily driven by the announcement of tariffs and the resulting uncertainty regarding global economic growth. The mining sector also faced protectionist measures from regions including Europe, South Korea, Vietnam, and India, which have initiated anti-dumping actions against China. These measures support domestic capacity and reduce the deflationary impact of low-priced Chinese exports, creating a positive backdrop for the sector over the longer term in our view. We await China’s response to escalating tensions with the U.S., which will be important in sustaining its domestic economic momentum. Gold stood out as a relative outperformer amid this environment, benefiting from a weaker U.S. dollar and increased market volatility. Strong central bank purchases and robust retail demand, particularly in Asia, have further supported the gold price. Within precious metals, the gold price increased by 5.9%, while the silver price declined by 3.3%. Commodity performance was generally weak: prices for iron ore (62% Fe), copper, and nickel fell by 5.4%, 5.6% and 3.1% respectively. April also saw market dislocations due to tariff uncertainties, notably in copper, where Comex prices traded at approximately a 10% premium over LME prices.
