Key ETF Total Returns Across Asset Classes Below you find the updated „Bespoke ETF Asset Class Performance Matrix“ showing the performance of key ETFs YTD, in May and this week (total return in USD). While it was a down week for most major market segments, May was positive across the board with relatively even gains across each relevant ETF. YTD, US performance varies widely, though, with the Nasdaq 100 and the S&P 500 up 10-11% while small caps are up 1-2%. The (relative) May performance beneath the surface of the S&P 500 was mixed. Please take a look at the „Decile Analysis“ in the comments section. Global stocks (ex US) saw uneven performance this week and month. For the week, Spain, Japan and Italy were the lone winners while Brazil, Hong Kong and India all fell 2.5% or more. During the month of May, Spain, Italy, Australia and Germany all gained at least 5% while Brazil, China and Mexico declined. In general, US stocks continue to outperform the rest of the world in 2024 (SPY +10.8% vs. CWI +6.5%). Fixed income ended a positive month on a down note. The only areas of the sector eking out gains this week were short-term US Treasuries and TIPS, but for the month most areas rallied 1.5% or more.

The S&P 500 and ASX 200 are nearing record highs, and despite strong economic data, the markets are suddenly looking uncertain.   Concerns about global growth and valuations are rising.   It must be that dreaded month of September.   History shows September as a month of consistent underperformance.   Over the past decade, the ASX 200 Accumulation Index has averaged an annual return of +8.2%, but September has seen an average return of -2.2%.   This year, with just five trading days left in September, the ASX 200 Accumulation Index is currently up +1.2%.   Will September 2024 defy the trend?   Perhaps, but the odds are not in your favour.   Over the last decade, September saw declines in 8 out of 10 years. When the market dropped, it averaged a decline of -3.0%, while in the 2 years it rose, the market gained +1.2%.   Nasty month indeed!   The Kardinia Long Short Fund is taking a cautious approach with low net exposure.   The Fund is ready to capitalise on any weakness in high-quality stocks in the coming weeks to enhance existing positions.   Feel free to follow us on the Kardinia Capital LinkedIn page.
