Acadian Asset Management - Value Manager
Boston, MA., founded 1978, managing $37.5 billion U.S.

Acadian identifies market inefficiencies and exploits them using a structured, multi-factor process and sophisticated portfolio optimization techniques.

Global equity markets saw negative results in what was another highly volatile quarter. Dismal returns in January and February were mitigated by more favourable results in March after the U.S. initiated some well-received moves in economic policy – helping to restore investor confidence in the equity asset class.

Despite the March rally, Europe’s collective performance for the full quarter was markedly negative. Germany’s manufacturing sector continued to contract amid a sharp downturn in orders. France saw business confidence slump to its lowest level on record, while retail sales in Italy continued to languish. The U.K. saw further deterioration in consumer spending and investment as credit conditions remained tight.

Asia performed modestly better than Europe for the quarter, but was still negative. Japan’s equity market was hurt by waning factory output and a sizeable drop in exports. Australia saw favourable data on the housing front assuage the effects of near-record low business sentiment, while reports of rising unemployment in Hong Kong was tempered by news that home values saw a moderate recovery year-to-date.

The U.S. realized negative returns for the quarter, as equities were battered by the announcement of dismal fourth-quarter earnings and massive layoffs at a number of large companies. Investors reacted favourably, however, after President Obama signed a $787 billion economic stimulus plan into law and proposed a public-private partnership to absorb banks’ toxic assets.

All performance is presented in Canadian dollar terms, gross of investment management fees. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
