Fund Managers’ Monthly Report
April 2012
- Chilean equities rose marginally in March and outperformed the broader MSCI Emerging Markets Latin America Index. Positive economic data lifted the market, although concerns over the health of the global economy, particularly China’s growth slowdown, pared gains.
- Manufacturing output grew, while retail sales posted their largest increase in eight months.
- The nation’s trade surplus narrowed in February due to a surge in imports.
- In Fund-related news, energy and forestry company Copec reported weak fourth-quarter results, dragged down by lower pulp prices and margin pressures on fuel. Specialty chemicals producer SQM allocated US$550 million in capital expenditures for 2012. The company will use US$250 million to build a potassium nitrate plant in northern Chile to increase production capacity in the segment.
- There were no major changes to the portfolio in March.
