The challenges of an uncertain world

Global macro concerns– Will the Euro survive?

– Is the Chinese growth story over?

– Will US growth continue?

Closer to home…– Negative real yields

– Fiscal austerity

– Eurozone fallout

Demise of the ‘safe haven’ asset?

…but investors still need to achieve their investment goals

Using a multi-asset approach to navigate volatile markets

Allocate assets across a global opportunity set

Adjust portfolios in response to changing market conditions

Don’t underestimate the impact of costs

Multi-asset portfolios can offer a smoother ride

Under the current structure and with the current membership, the euro does not work

Diversification across asset classes

Combining different sources of income can generate more stable yields and lower price volatility

Diversification within asset classes

Within one asset class, we seek geographical diversification so as to generate a more stable yield

Offering potential for inflation protection

Inclusion of real rate / index-linked government bonds component to reduce exposure to inflation risk

Enhancing income from equities by the use of covered call options

Selling potential upside from rising equity markets generates additional income

Important information

This document is for Professional Clients only. It is not to be distributed to or relied upon by Retail Clients under any circumstances.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Changes in rates of exchange may cause the value of this investment to fluctuate.

The Fund will use derivatives as part of its investment capabilities which will include short positions. These instruments carry a material level of risk and the Fund could be potentially exposed to enhanced/magnified falls, should the market move against them. The Fund is also subject to counterparty risk. As the annual management fee of the Fund is charged to capital, the potential capital growth of the Fund will be reduced.

This document is a marketing communication. Any market or investment views expressed are not intended to be investment research. The document has not been prepared in line with the FSA requirements designed to promote the independence of investment research and is not subject to any prohibition on dealing ahead of the dissemination of investment research. The information contained in this document should not be considered a recommendation to purchase or sell any particular security and the opinions expressed are those of UBS Global Asset Management and are subject to change without notice. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any trends described in this document will continue or that forecasts will occur because economic and market conditions change frequently.
