THE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF OUR EXPERT
The Net Asset Value of IGF edged up by 0.6% in February. The bulk of the positive performance was generated out of foreign exchange gains from the fund’s USD-denominated holdings. The U.S. dollar gained approximately 3.5% versus the Mauritian rupee this month.
On the domestic front, February saw a number of Mauritian listed companies publish their latest financial updates. The Bee Equity Partners, our top holding locally, which announced last year that it is discontinuing its private equity strategy, recorded profits of MUR 15.2 million for the 6 months ended December 2022 and is showing good progress with regards to its disposal plans. MCBG, the other heavyweight in IGF’s local portfolio, posted solid profits of MUR 6.8 million for the first half of the 2021/2022 financial year, compared to MUR 5.1 million for the previous year. In terms of portfolio changes, we took advantage of improved prices in MCBG (up by 2.6% in February) to very slight trim our exposure to the banking group. We additionally exited our small position in Rogers and topped up our position in Vivo Energy.
On the international side, global equities markets declined in February as stronger than expected macroeconomic data dimmed the prospects of any imminent pause in monetary policy tightening by Central Banks. The re-escalation of US-China tensions further weighed on sentiment. In U.S. dollar terms, both of IGF’s foreign holdings suffered losses during the period under review. These losses were however more than compensated by the strong appreciation of the green back over the month. We have also injected further diversification into our international portfolio in February, reducing our position into the IPRO World Equity Fund and re-allocating to Emerging Markets Asia equities, short-term US Treasuries and Commodities (silver, gold and global mining).
Markets are expected to remain challenging over the coming quarters. We remind our readers that IGF has a long-term horizon and that market volatility can provide advantageous entry points to long-term IGF investors.
