PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION

In November, the GTAA strategy had a 50% exposure to stocks, which was equally divided between the U.S., Japan, Canada, Europe and emerging markets. North American markets were a clear leader, with U.S. and Canadian equities each gaining about 3.6%, while European and Japanese stocks rose approx. 1.3%. Emerging market equities were a notable laggard, declining 0.1% for the month.

The additional 40% of the portfolio which was allocated to “risk-on” positions was equally spread across U.S. REITs, international REITs, U.S. preferred shares and U.S. high yield bonds. These rate-sensitive positions fared less well than their pure equity counterparts, with U.S. and international REITs declining 1.3% and 1%, respectively, U.S. preferred shares falling 0.4%, and U.S. high yield bonds gaining 0.6%.

The remaining 10% of the portfolio was allocated to “risk-off” assets and had little effect on November’s performance. Specifically, our 5% position in long-term Treasuries declined 0.4%, and our 5% exposure to shortterm U.S. investment grade corporate bonds was flat.
