Manulife Global Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund

Investment Objective

The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long term capital growth whilst also managing downside risk. The Fund aims to meet its objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of equities, debt securities, exchange traded funds (ETFs) and/or collective investment schemes (other than ETFs) managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates.

Portfolio Review

During the June-December 2019 period, the sub-Fund experienced a positive return, largely driven by equity exposures in the US, Europe and Japan. Over the period, the sub-Fund made timely allocations into periods of risk-on driven rallies and trimming risk at opportune episodes. December was a good example of this where risk was added earlier in the month, and trimmed towards month end as momentum indicators waned.

Over the period, the sub-Fund ended the year with a lower equity allocation versus the beginning of the period whilst shifting allocations towards non-US assets such as European, Asia and EM equities, whilst trimming US equities.

Market Review

The MSCI World returned +9.2% over second half of 2019, finishing the year above and beyond most investors’ expectations, driven by Japan +11.2%, US +10.8% and emerging markets (EM) gaining +6.3%.

Growth stocks led the way with technology, healthcare gaining +16.8% and 12.5% respectively whilst energy underperformed falling -0.61%.

Within fixed income, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master gained +3.9%, Barclays EM USD Agg +3.4% and the Barclays Global Aggregate – Corporates gained +3.0%.

Investment Manager's Report (continued) for the period ended 31 December 2019

Manulife Global Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund (continued)

In foreign exchange, the British pound gained +4.1% against the US dollar, post the Conservative Party election win.

Key global capital market drivers remained the US Federal Reserve Board (Fed), trade and China. Trade tensions remained less elevated in the second half of 2019 versus the first half of 2019 and markets became more optimistic towards risk assets as a phase one deal became widely accepted as a reasonable first step.

Global macro Purchasing Managers’ Indexes, particularly on the manufacturing side remained weak, some below the 50 threshold implying a contraction, whilst services have remained relatively immune. Despite slowing macro growth and rising geopolitics, risk assets continued to make new highs into year-end as recessionary risks, for now, abated.

Market Outlook

The 2019 calendar year was an interesting period for investors. Despite an inverted yield curve, concerns of a recession and a large volume of negative-yielding debt, global equities rebounded, with US stocks posting some of their best returns in decades as a result of three Fed rate cuts. Posturing between the US and China on trade issues moved markets, defying underlying fundamental concerns.

While a recession doesn’t seem imminent, the MSCI World Index continues to trade at close to 15-year highs. The market, to a large degree, appears to be basing the high valuations we have

been experiencing on perpetually low rates, as 2019’s gains were almost all based on multiple expansion as earnings growth was only 0.1%. In addition, profitability levels measured by earnings-before-interest-and-taxes margins continue to be at historic highs, although this is starting to decline. It is our view that we remain in a high-margin, high-debt, low-growth market with high multiples to match.

Going into 2020, we are finding attractively valued opportunities outside the US, as the US still trades at a 15-year peak relative multiple compared to international markets. While the profitability of international corporations is cyclically high, it still remains well below its US equivalent on average. We are comfortable with our overweight in equities overall – at least, for the time being.

At the margin, sentiment has improved more recently towards risk assets, as markets continue to push towards new highs due to heightened probability of a partial phase one trade deal focused around US agricultural goods, higher probability of a no-deal Brexit off the table and central banks adding liquidity. Cyclically, markets are looking better as some risks are alleviated, however, the structural slowdown in global growth, earnings, a lack of higher inflationary pressures and geopolitics will remain as the backdrop and keep markets volatile.

Currencies, in particular the US dollar, will be key, as global central banks race to pre-empt Fed rate cuts by cutting themselves in order to support export growth and boost inflation.

As a result, rate cuts across EM are supporting local equity and debt markets. Significantly, when these are coupled with material market and economic reforms in important markets, such as Brazil and India, we find ourselves remaining constructive on the EM asset class, which remain attractively valued from

a medium to longer-term perspective, however, the near-term has been challenged by slowing global manufacturing and uncertainty on global trade.

The Fed, China and trade will remain key market drivers, whilst other growing risks such as pockets of recessionary risks in Europe, UK trade deal with the European Union by the end of 2020, Hong Kong protests and Iranian headlines have added to investor concerns.

Given the Fed’s three 25 basis point reductions, we think one more cut will come through in March 2020, with a December 2019 pause, barring an unexpected weakening in the economy.

Central banks, globally, are signaling they are committed to positive growth support for economies, which should bode well for risk and higher yielding assets. Bouts of volatility, however, should be expected across currencies, spreads and equities on trade and/or Fed uncertainty.

Any further easing from China could produce stabilisation, rather than the kind of V-shaped recovery we saw in 2016. Nevertheless, even this more limited stimulus should help Chinese markets and overall global trade. A more prolonged trade discussion could continue to impact sentiment as well as adjustments seen in the Chinese yuan, which could also add pressure to the rest of EM foreign exchange and EM assets.

On the margin, we are reducing risk by selling winners in US stocks to buy non-US equities, and by taking profits in investment-grade corporate bonds in developed markets, but sticking with EM debt.

Longer-term, rates should edge higher if we are right about global economic growth improving later into the year. High-yield bonds could remain an attractive asset class if, as we expect, the environment for stocks remains broadly favourable. From a total-return perspective, EM credit is one of our most preferred positions in the portfolio and remains a focal point for income-seeking investors. We continue our search for opportunities and will remain nimble in our asset allocation decision-making into 2020.

Portfolio Review

Over the June-December 2019 period, the sub-Fund experienced a positive contribution with performance driven by exposure to US bonds, in particular an actively managed bond fund whilst this was offset by security selection within North American equities.

During the period, the sub-Fund added to equities, reducing the overall fixed income exposure from June to December 2019, although adding more into US bonds within fixed income over the period.

Portfolio Review

Over the June-December 2019 period, the sub-Fund experienced positive contributions, benefiting from exposure to US bonds, particularly an active managed underlying bond fund as well as from gold exposure. This was partially offset from security selection within North American equities.

Over the period, allocation changes were not significant, with some additions to overall equity, funded by trimming fixed income exposure. However, US bonds were added within fixed income.

Investment Objective

The investment objective of the Fund is to maximize long term capital growth. The Fund aims to meet its objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of equities, debt securities, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and/or collective investment schemes (other than ETFs) managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates.

Based on published NAV per unit.Source: Manulife Investment Management (Hong Kong) Limited.

Portfolio Review During the June-December 2019 period, the sub-Fund experienced a positive contribution, benefiting from exposure to European equities and gold, which was partially offset by security selection in North American equities and exposures in EM bonds.

Over the period, the sub-Fund reduced equity exposure into the end of December versus the beginning of the period, trimming US equities, adding to European equities, whilst also adding to US bonds.

Market Review

The MSCI World returned +9.2% over second half of 2019, finishing the year above and beyond most investors’ expectations, driven by Japan +11.2%, US +10.8% and emerging markets gaining +6.3%. Growth stocks led the way with technology, healthcare gaining +16.8% and 12.5% respectively whilst energy underperformed falling -0.61%.

Within fixed income, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master gained +3.9%, Barclays EM USD Agg +3.4% and the Barclays Global Aggregate – Corporates gained +3.0%.

In foreign exchange, the British pound gained +4.1% against the US dollar, post the Conservative Party election win.

Key global capital market drivers remained the US Federal Reserve Board (Fed), trade and China. Trade tensions remained less elevated in the second half of 2019 versus the first half of 2019 and markets became more optimistic towards risk assets as a phase one deal became widely accepted as a reasonable first step.

Global macro Purchasing Managers’ Indexes, particularly on the manufacturing side remained weak, some below the 50 threshold implying a contraction, whilst services have remained relatively immune. Despite slowing macro growth and rising geopolitics, risk assets continued to make new highs into year-end as recessionary risks, for now, abated.

Market Outlook

The 2019 calendar year was an interesting period for investors. Despite an inverted yield curve, concerns of a recession and a large volume of negative-yielding debt, global equities rebounded, with US stocks posting some of their best returns in decades as a result of three Fed rate cuts. Posturing between the US and China on trade issues moved markets, defying underlying fundamental concerns.

While a recession doesn’t seem imminent, the MSCI World Index continues to trade at close to 15-year highs. The market, to a large degree, appears to be basing the high valuations we have been experiencing on perpetually low rates, as 2019’s gains were almost all based on multiple expansion as earnings growth was only 0.1%. In addition, profitability levels measured by earnings-before-interest-and-taxes margins continue to be at historic highs, although this is starting to decline. It is our view that we remain in a high-margin, high-debt, low-growth market with high multiples to match.

Going into 2020, we are finding attractively valued opportunities outside the US, as the US still trades at a 15-year peak relative multiple compared to international markets. While the profitability of international corporations is cyclically high, it still remains well below its US equivalent on average. We are comfortable with our overweight in equities overall – at least, for the time being.

At the margin, sentiment has improved more recently towards risk assets, as markets continue to push towards new highs due to heightened probability of a partial phase one trade deal focused around US agricultural goods, higher probability of a no-deal Brexit off the table and central banks adding liquidity. Cyclically, markets are looking better as some risks are alleviated, however, the structural slowdown in global growth, earnings, a lack of higher inflationary pressures and geopolitics will remain as the backdrop and keep markets volatile.

Currencies, in particular the US dollar, will be key, as global central banks race to pre-empt Fed rate cuts by cutting themselves in order to support export growth and boost inflation. As a result, rate cuts across EM are supporting local equity and debt markets. Significantly, when these are coupled with material market and economic reforms in important markets, such as Brazil and India, we find ourselves remaining constructive on the EM asset class, which remain attractively valued from a medium to longer-term perspective, however, the near-term has been challenged by slowing global manufacturing and uncertainty on global trade. The Fed, China and trade will remain key market drivers, whilst other growing risks, such as pockets of recessionary risk in Europe, a UK trade deal with the European Union by the end of 2020, Hong Kong protests and Iranian headlines, have added to investor concerns. Given the Fed’s three 25 basis point reductions, we think one more cut will come through in March 2020, with a December 2019 pause, barring an unexpected weakening in the economy.

Central banks, globally, are signaling they are committed to positive growth support for economies, which should bode well for risk and higher-yielding assets. Bouts of volatility, however, should be expected across currencies, spreads and equities on trade and/or Fed uncertainty.

Any further easing from China could produce stabilisation, rather than the kind of V-shaped recovery we saw in 2016. Nevertheless, even this more limited stimulus should help Chinese markets and overall global trade. A more prolonged trade discussion could continue to impact sentiment as well as adjustments seen in the Chinese yuan, which could also add pressure to the rest of EM foreign exchange and EM assets.

On the margin, we are reducing risk by selling winners in US stocks to buy non-US equities, and by taking profits in investment-grade corporate bonds in developed markets, but sticking with EM debt.

Longer-term, rates should edge higher if we are right about global economic growth improving later into the year. High-yield bonds could remain an attractive asset class if, as we expect, the environment for stocks remains broadly favourable. From a total-return perspective, EM credit is one of our most preferred positions in the portfolio and remains a focal point for income-seeking investors. We continue our search for opportunities and will remain nimble in our asset allocation decision-making into 2020.
