The GHF Group US Small Cap Equity Fund gained a record 5.8% for the month of April as it benefited from its reduced exposure to the major indices.
April saw increases in most fund categories, along with most global asset valuations. The exceptions were naturally the Euro based funds which will remain depressed for at least the medium term unless their managers hedged their euro exposure against other currencies. When the Euro factor is removed, the year to date value of European stocks have actually faired very well.
Another continued area of high growth is Asia focused funds. Asia is one of the few areas on the globe that has demonstrated consistent growth and stability. This is attracting US capital as large and small investors diversify away from the troubled US and European markets. Asia is also attractive as fund managers must comply with less onerous regulations within their industry, unlike the new European rules that restrict options and capital flow.
