Current situation
Russian aggression against Ukraine intensified the wave of risk aversion that had been building up for some time. Significant discounts continued and affected all asset classes, especially instruments of Russian entities. The market had already been under pressure for some time and the materialisation of the negative scenario pushed it towards new short-term minima.
Debt:
Our exposure to Russian assets is not significant, apart from the sub-fund Generali Obligacje: New Europe, however the scale of the discount will materially affect the sub-funds' performance. We have exposure to corporate debt, to five entities. 4 of them are investment grade and in our view solvent entities. The exposure to CIS countries, which is shown in the composition of the subfunds' portfolios published as at 30.12.2021, has been consistently reduced as the strength of geopolitical risk factors in the region increases.
Equities:
The only equity fund in our range that has this exposure is the Generali Akcje sub-fund: New Europe. Exposure to these markets results directly from the subfund's investment policy, which is based on investments in the CEE + CIS region. The remaining equity subfunds do not have any exposure to Russian or CIS issuers.
Previous events of a similar nature
Historical analysis indicates that when armed conflicts occur, stock markets tend to build up extreme pessimism very quickly. They then return to normalcy relatively quickly and recover their losses dynamically. The reactions of the US stock market over the years show this particularly clearly.
Outlook for the future
In the current geopolitical environment, we estimate that the Generali Gold, Generali Oszczędnościowy and SGB Bankowy sub-funds will be least negatively affected by current events. We are keeping a close eye on the situation, especially the reactions in terms of sanctions. We will update the above information as the situation develops.
