PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION
In September, the GTAA strategy was neither defensively nor aggressively positioned, with a 20% exposure to stocks that was equally split between U.S. and Canadian equities.
The additional 50% of the portfolio that was allocated to “risk-on” positions was equally spread across U.S. REITs, international REITs. U.S. preferred shares, U.S. high yield bonds and emerging market sovereign bonds.
The portfolio’s remaining 30% weight was allocated to “risk-off” assets and was equally spread across long-term Treasuries and short-term U.S. investment grade bonds.
Six of our seven growth-sensitive exposures rose during the month. U.S. stocks rose 1.95%, Canadian stocks rose 2.03%, U.S. REITs rose 1.92%, international REITs rose 2.52%, U.S. preferred shares advanced 0.75% and U.S. high yield bonds rose 0.44%, while emerging market sovereign fell 1.09%
The portfolio’s safe haven positions detracted from overall performance. Our 15% allocation to long-term Treasuries fell 2.68%, and our 15% position in short-term U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds declined 0.04%.
