A Post-Brexit Q&A with Blue Quadrant Capital Management
The month of June saw some extreme volatility in financial markets, particularly following the surprise UK referendum result. How did the funds managed by Blue Quadrant perform?
Our funds are likely to report a drawdown of between 8% and 12% for the month of June in Rand terms. This was in part driven by the relative strength in the Rand, which despite the negative global developments, actually gained ground against most major currency crosses during the month. Our funds have between 50% and 90% invested in offshore markets, mainly in the US.
We also have a large weighting in US financials, which were disproportionately impacted by the Brexit vote and contagion fears stemming from the very large price declines in UK and European financials.
