Daniel Duncan and Andrew Foster discuss the volatile nature of markets during the second quarter, and the factors that ostensibly induced that volatility – namely currencies, Greece, and China. Andrew suggests that current valuations for many Chinese shares are unsustainable, and will – with the benefit of hindsight – likely be termed as “bubbles.” They conclude with a brief discussion of the Fund’s allocation to Chinese equities.
