1 GLOBAL EQUITY GROWTH PORTFOLIO April 2015 PORTFOLIO COMMENTARY During the first quarter of 2015, global equity markets experienced mixed performances, with a number of key factors influencing the characteristics of markets. Economic data, inflation levels, currency valuations, and Central Banks monetary policy announcements were all closely watched by investors. UK economic data released during the period under review ultimately provided positive news for investors. During the quarter, data showed the UK s economy grew by 2.8% during 2014, helping the unemployment rate to stay at its lowest level since the financial crisis (5.7%). Data from UK business surveys highlighted business strengths, and the appreciation of the pound against the euro was welcomed by importers trading with the Eurozone. Economic data in Europe was very strong during the period. In ch, the European Central Bank began to implement its 60bn a month quantitative easing programme, and Greece moved closer to extending its bailout programme with its creditors. Both developments were broadly met with confidence from investors. Within the US, with the exception of the labour market, economic data was weaker than in previous quarters, leading to the Federal Reserve talking down the imminent probability of interest rate increases. The US dollar appreciated significantly against its major trading partners,. Within Asia Pacific and Japanese equity markets, robust corporate earnings reports and proactive Central Banks allowed investors to overlook the disappointing economic data in the region. Japanese equity markets reached their highest level for 15 years. Global emerging equity markets continue to feel the impact of the lower oil price and strong US dollar. Commodity exporting markets, such as Brazil, Mexico, Russia, and the Middle East underperformed. Looking ahead, we expect that financial markets are likely to take their direction from Central Banks monetary policy announcements, most predominately the timing of the first interest rate rises from the Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve. We remain optimistic on European and Japanese equity markets as we believe that these markets have the potential to benefit from improving economic and corporate earnings momentum, as well as accommodative monetary policy environments.

SSgA manages a wide range of strategies based on multiple investment approaches.

BlackRock helps millions of people, as well as the world s governments and largest institutions, pursue their investing goals.

Santander Asset Management s flexible approach blends top down macro economic analysis and bottom up fundamental stock analysis. The manager believes that the relative importance of economic forces, such as interest rates, inflation and growth will vary as the UK moves through the economic cycle. During a downturn top down factors and sector selection take priority, but in periods of stable economic growth stock selection becomes more important.
