“December marked the overall positive end of an exciting year from an investor’s perspective. After the debt struggles of the peripheral European countries at the beginning of the year, global equity markets showed remarkable resistance and finished the year with a positive performance. This is mostly due to the increased demand for goods and commodities from the emerging markets, especially China. Our portfolio, which is allocated according to C-Quadrat Best Fonds Strategy, reacted to this market environment by increasing equities and reducing fixed income investments.”
