Buscando diversificación real en en mercados turbulentos
Los inversores tienen dificultades para encontrar diversificación cuando retroceden a la vez los mercados de renta variable y de renta fija. En estos entornos, son evidentes las ventajas que brinda la exposición a activos descorrelacionados.
Históricamente, el fondo Jupiter Merian Global Equity Absolute Return Fund (GEAR) ha representado una buena fuente de diversificación porque ha ofrecido una baja correlación tanto con la renta variable como con la renta fija. Desde su creación hace trece años, el fondo no ha tenido correlación con el índice MSCI World.

Por ello, los inversores buscan reducir el riesgo configurando carteras diversificadas a partir de activos descorrelacionados, con la esperanza de que esta situación continúe y de que no todo caiga a la vez. Tradicionalmente, la diversificación se ha conseguido combinando la renta fija y la renta variable, ya que, a menudo, cuando los mercados de renta variable caen, los de renta fija suben. No obstante, 2022 ha sido diferente hasta la fecha: tanto la renta variable como la renta fija han caído y, como consecuencia de ello, muchos inversores han comprobado que sus carteras están menos diversificadas de lo que esperaban. Por esta razón algunos inversores están mirando con nuevos ojos a los activos alternativos que no tienen correlación con la renta variable ni con la renta fija, como el fondo GEAR.
¿Cómo ha conseguido el fondo GEAR su larga trayectoria de descorrelación con la renta variable y la renta fija? En su condición de fondo neutral al mercado, configuramos la cartera cuidadosamente con el fin de equilibrar sus posiciones largas y cortas. Gracias a su cartera de posiciones cortas, el fondo puede generar ganancias incluso cuando los mercados bursátiles retroceden. Además, debido al equilibrio entre las posiciones cortas y las posiciones largas, el fondo presenta una baja dependencia de las bolsas en general.
Cuando retroceden al unísono la renta variable y la renta fija mundial, la diversificación es difícil de encontrar
El fondo ha conseguido una rentabilidad positiva en el año
Las rentabilidades pasadas no garantizan rentabilidades presentes o futuras y no tienen en cuenta las comisiones y gastos originados en la emisión y reembolso de las participaciones. Las rentabilidades pueden aumentar o disminuir como consecuencia de las fluctuaciones de las divisas.
Para los inversores resulta fácil tomar como referencia los máximos de los precios (el «anclaje» es un sesgo conductual o psicológico muy conocido). Nuestro proceso trata de aprovechar los sesgos conductuales del mercado. Los inversores pueden considerar de forma subjetiva que los precios deberían situarse en sus máximos, pero la historia ha demostrado que pueden seguir cayendo con fuerza desde ese nivel.
La estrategia ha gestionado bien la volatilidad, manteniéndola generalmente por debajo del objetivo máximo del 6%

Inversión temática: un enfoque sistemático
The value of active minds: pensamiento independente
Una característica clave del enfoque de inversión de Jupiter es que evitamos la adopción de una visión de la casa, prefiriendo permitir a nuestros gestores de fondos especializados formular sus propias opiniones sobre su clase de activos. En consecuencia, debe tenerse en cuenta que las opiniones expresadas -incluidas las relativas a consideraciones medioambientales, sociales y de gobernanza- son las del autor o autores, y pueden diferir de las opiniones mantenidas por otros profesionales de la inversión de Jupiter.
- Riesgo de inversión: no puede garantizarse que el Fondo vaya a lograr su objetivo. Podría producirse una pérdida parcial o total del capital invertido. Además, el Fondo podría superar su límite de volatilidad. Podría producirse una pérdida parcial o total del capital invertido.
- Riesgo de las acciones de la empresa (es decir, de la renta variable): el valor de las acciones de la empresa (es decir, de la renta variable) y de las inversiones similares puede bajar o subir en respuesta a los resultados de las empresas individuales y puede verse afectado por los movimientos diarios de la bolsa y las condiciones generales del mercado. Otros factores influyentes son las noticias políticas y económicas, los beneficios de las empresas y los acontecimientos corporativos importantes.
- Riesgo de derivados: el Fondo utiliza derivados para generar rendimientos y/o reducir los costes y el riesgo general del Fondo. La utilización de derivados puede conllevar un nivel de riesgo más elevado. Una pequeña variación del precio de una inversión subyacente puede dar lugar a una variación desproporcionadamente elevada del precio de la inversión en el derivado. Los derivados también conllevan un riesgo de la contraparte, puesto que puede ocurrir que las entidades que actúan como contrapartes de los derivados no cumplan sus obligaciones contractuales.
- Riesgo de divisas: el Fondo puede estar expuesto a diferentes divisas y puede utilizar técnicas para intentar reducir los efectos de las variaciones del tipo de cambio entre la divisa de las inversiones subyacentes y la divisa base del Fondo. Estas técnicas pueden no eliminar todo el riesgo cambiario. El valor de sus acciones puede subir o bajar como resultado de los movimientos de los tipos de cambio.
- Riesgo de Stock Connect: el Fondo puede invertir en acciones A de China a través de la conexión bursátil China-Hong Kong (‘Stock Connect’). El Stock Connect se rige por reglas que no han sido probadas y que pueden variar. Las limitaciones comerciales y las restricciones a la propiedad extranjera pueden restringir la capacidad del Fondo para llevar a cabo su estrategia de inversión.
El fondo podría estar sujeto a factores de riesgo adicionales, véase el Folleto si desea obtener más información.
