We are now reducing our US Dollar exposure. There’s a ton of money being “printed” in the economy right now because of the economic stimuli. While many governments are taking economic measures, the US Government and the Federal Reserve have been particularly aggressive. Although the stimuli are in place to prevent a deeper recession, they could also lead to significant depreciation of the USD as the economy gradually recovers. We saw this depreciation happen after the US Federal Reserve introduced quantitative easing in March 2009. Then, the US Dollar depreciated by 21.2% versus the Ringgit between March 2009 and July 2011.

Decreasing USD exposure
In our re-optimisation in August 2019, ERAA® increased the overall US Dollar exposure across all risk points, taking account of the broad economic uncertainty. ERAA® did this because, as the US Dollar is seen as a safe-haven currency, it tends to appreciate when the markets get more nervous.

We’re Re-Optimising Your Portfolios for Uncertain Times Ahead

Though the March market crash was paralysingly fast compared to the 2008 financial crisis, the depth of the market crash was not as pronounced as that of the 2008 recession. This time around, central banks matched the speed of the recent crash with quick economic stimulus packages. The fast responses prevented a steeper and more prolonged market crash as the market quickly priced in an average recession, rather than a deep recession. Still, the depth of the oncoming recession remains unclear for now. With that said, we know that the markets and the economy will eventually recover, though we don’t know what the path to recovery will look like.
Our investment framework, ERAA®, has analysed the latest economic and market data; we are now re-optimising our portfolios to better prepare them for what lies ahead by reducing US Dollar exposure, increasing Chinese exposure, and for some portfolios, increasing exposure to Gold. This is the second time we have re-optimised our portfolios since our launch in Malaysia in November 2018.

When we made those changes in August 2019, we certainly didn’t foresee a global pandemic in the near future, but as a result of the risk management measures, our portfolios were already braced for the economic uncertainty that preceded and lingers with COVID-19. The exposure to the US Dollar (a key funding currency) is one of the factors that allowed our portfolios to endure March’s market crash.

Copper rose above $3 a pound for the first time in more than two years on Wednesday, extending a recent rally driven by steady Chinese demand and disruptions to global supply.
Most actively traded copper futures for delivery in September added 1.6% to $3.0230 a pound, the first time they have eclipsed the closely watched $3 level since June 2018. Many analysts think that $3 copper incentivizes miners to pursue longer-term projects to extract metal. A dearth of investment in new mines due to low prices in recent years is one reason some analysts are bullish on the industrial metal, which is used to manufacture everything from smartphones to homes.
