Portfolio management and client service to our clients
Dear Clients,
In these challenging times, we maintain the view we expressed last week (please see here). Basically, the news flow from this pandemic continues to deteriorate and the extraordinary measures taken by governments are likely to create much uncertainties and volatility in the short term anyway. Whereas it remains extremely difficult to make any meaningful forecasts, it seems to be a very violent but time limited shock to the world economy. Our conviction is therefore that fundamentals will be the determining aspect of the recovery. This should be a positive for active management and reinforces the relevance of our boutique “away from the crowds” investment model.

Investment Update
We would like to keep you up to date with our thinking in this period of extreme volatility and give you a quick update on our funds at QUAERO CAPITAL. In the fog of war, it is extremely hazardous to make any prediction and invariably, these tend to be highly contextual or misguided in a shock such as the one we have experienced this quarter.
We can however make a number of observations that we hope will be useful to our clients.
