e-fundresearch: What kind of capital market situation do we have at the moment? How do you act in this environment?
Le Morhedec: There is a big divergence in the inflation dynamic considering geographic areas. Emerging countries are bouncing and driving the global recovery ahead of the US economy. The UK is still a source of potential rebound on the short term with a weak currency whereas the EU has to face budget deficit and political issues. In this environment, one of our main focuses is to consider Inflation expectations and potential surprises to the upside instead of realised numbers that are still low.
