Topline
Benchmark 60% MSCI World Index/40% Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index
Markets March saw market volatility due to uncertainties in U.S. trade policy, its effects on growth and inflation, and geopolitical tensions, which shook investor confidence. Trump confirmed a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10% increase on Chinese goods. Equity markets suffered declines while bonds provided some protection. The MSCI World Index returned -4.45% for the month. The Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index returned 0.04%. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield finished at 4.21%.
Helped Allocations to emerging markets equities helped as non-U.S. markets outperformed the U.S.
Hurt Allocations to U.S. equities hurt, as markets were volatile and uncertainty around tariffs remained.
Outlook Investors are more focused on downside risks from tariff uncertainty than pro-growth policy. Recent performance highlights regional diversification, while positive fixed-income returns show that bonds provide ballast. With U.S. tax and tariff policy impacts on growth uncertain, we remain diversified to protect against future volatility.
Month in Review
- The JPMorgan Income Builder Fund (I Class Shares) outperformed the composite benchmark, the 60% MSCI World Index/40% Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, for the month ended March 31, 2025.
- In the U.S., business activity growth was concentrated in the services sector as manufacturing fell back into decline. The front-running of tariffs had temporarily boosted factory output in the first two months of the year. Consumer sentiment continued to deteriorate due to inflation and growth concerns amid economic policy developments.
- The March Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting reiterated that the Federal Reserve (Fed) is in no hurry to cut rates. Given elevated uncertainty, the Fed decided to take no action on interest rates. Fed Chair Jerome Powell did, however, leave the door open to future rate cuts as they are monitoring potential weakness in the growth and labor markets.
- The U.S. administration announced new tariffs on steel, aluminum and autos, while shifting expectations around the severity of pending tariff announcements due on April 2nd drove swings in market sentiment. Investors are attentive to any signs that uncertainty is slowing U.S. activity, such as the recent fall in capital expenditure (CapEx) intentions evidenced by small business surveys.
- Europe gained on broad fiscal tailwinds, including several spending plans. Germany’s proposals to ease off the debt brake for defense spending, as well as a new €500bn infrastructure spending plan, shocked markets in March. The European Central Bank (ECB) continued to normalize policy with Eurozone interest rates being cut twice during the quarter.
Looking Ahead
- We moderated our constructive stance on equities and decreased our overweight given the uncertainty around trade policies and the implications for growth. We expect short-term volatility in markets and remain diversified in our regional allocation.
- High yield continues to be a meaningful allocation. Although spreads are tight, fundamentals remain supportive, and all-in yields are attractive. A challenging economic environment would likely impact the asset class, but prevailing yields provide a decent carry over core bonds. Elsewhere in fixed income, we maintain ballast and stability by holding government-bond duration.
- We maintain an active stance in our portfolio, as we see growth cooling but not cracking and believe that the Fed and other central banks have ample ammunition to support the global economy. Trade wars, a pickup in inflation or overly restrictive monetary policy present risks to our view. But on balance, we lean positively through credit today and would look to add equity risk should the policy trajectory become clearer, and the focus moves toward the administration’s tax and deregulation agenda.
