Although July was a good month for the pension multifunds, negative results have been seen so far this year for all of them, except for E.
All pension multifunds recorded positive results in julybut so far this year the funds A, B, and C are posting their worst cumulative performance since their inception.
According to a monthly bulletin from the consulting firm Ciedess, last month the riskiest funds, A and B, recorded increases of 0,35% y 0,37% respectively; while fund C, of moderate risk, rose by 0,18%.
The more conservative funds D and E obtained profits of 0,36% y 0,78% each.
Despite the fears of the markets before a possible global recession and the fall in the price of the dollar, “the majority support for the rejection of the Plebiscite and the more moderate speech of the Government (control of public spending, no support for new withdrawals, gradual reforms and search for agreements), affected the results of July ”, assured Ciedess.
A, B and C: Worst performance since its creation
According to Ciedess so far in 2022, January to July, Negative results are observed for multi-funds, except for E.
Funds A and B recorded falls of -12,66% y -9,40%respectively, while background C presents a variation of -6,44%.
Meanwhile, the most conservative funds obtained mixed results, with a fall of -0.59% for D and an increase of 4.75% for E. In this regard, the funds A, B and C posted their worst cumulative performance for that period since their inception.
July Results
The consulting firm Ciedess explained that the monthly result of July in multi-funds A and B was mainly affected by the variation in the prices of variable income instruments.
In this regard, mixed results were observed in the main international indices, also negatively impacted by the fall of the dollar; while at the local level a gain is recorded.
“Markets continue to be affected by the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflictwhere inflationary pressures have driven rate hikes in most countries (highlights historic rises of the Fed and the European Central Bank) and the emergence of fears of a possible global recession. At the national level, the intervention of the Central Bank as a result of the rise of the dollar”said the consultant.
In contrast, the profitability of the more conservative funds C, D and E is explained by the results of investments in debt securitiescal, as well as the performance of foreign fixed income instruments.
“There was a negative contribution from international fixed income (LEGATRUU Index fell -0.83% in pesos), while at the local level there was a drop in interest rates on fixed income instrumentspositively impacting conservative funds through capital gains”, the consultant pointed out.
