The Bull continues – All strategies positive for the month

Logical Invest July 2023 performance

In July, all our strategies were positive as the SP500 price nears its all-time high.
 

South America first to lower rates

The Federal Reserve (Fed) paused rate hikes last month, creating expectations of a possible plateau in tightening policy. However, it surprised the market by deciding to raise rates in July by 0.25%, signaling its continued commitment to fighting inflation.

Meanwhile, in Chile, the central bank held rates at 11.25% for 9 months and successfully lowered inflation. It has now made a significant move by deciding to cut rates by 100 basis points. Uruguay has already led the charge regionally with a 25 basis points cut in April and a 50 basis point cut to 10.75% in July. Brazil, the region’s largest economy, is also expected to start cutting rates in August.

As markets often move faster than we can keep up with, falling rates typically indicate a booming equity market. Confirming this trend, our foreign equity, unhedged strategies show impressive year-to-date returns. The World Countries South America strategy stands out with a 43.4% return, while the more diversified World Top 4 balanced sub-strategy prints at 26.6%.
 

Our main strategies protect

 It’s worth highlighting that our main strategies are primarily focused on capital preservation, as they are carefully hedged to safeguard against unexpected events or sudden market corrections.

If, however, your goal is to outperform the SP500, we recommend considering our non-hedged sub-strategies.
