The document provides an overview and analysis of market conditions from Coronation's perspective. It notes that:
1) Local and global equity markets have diverged, with the JSE declining while global markets have risen. Commodity prices and related currencies have also fallen sharply.
2) Coronation's SA funds have outperformed peers over 3 years, while global and equity funds lagged shorter-term due to exposure to weak EM currencies and commodities.
3) Coronation maintains that current volatility and weakness in EM presents long-term opportunities to invest in high-quality companies at attractive valuations, despite negative macro factors. Structural growth drivers will ultimately outweigh short-term market movements.
