The monthly Corion Report is always full of interesting information. A recap of the previous month’s investment market performance, the report helps us get past the headlines, providing a more accurate look at what’s happening.
The latest one is no exception, highlighting, for instance, the volatility of Resources (bottom of seven categories over one year; top over one month) and relative strength of Equities (2 over three months, year to date and three years).
One trend that is now very entrenched is how investors are inching their savings away from SA’s Big Asset Managers to the better-performing boutiques. That’s a good thing – reflecting the benefits of competition and greater performance transparency.
A significant winner is Cy Jacobs’ 36ONE, while other regulars on the ‘Inflows’ table are rapidly growing Fairtree and Walter Aylett’s house that bears his name. Big boys Allan Gray, Coronation and Stanlib have become incumbents on the ‘Outflows” list. You can watch my interview on the Report with Corion’s David Bacher by clicking here.
