Monthly commentary
PERFORMANCE
UIL's net asset value ("NAV") total return was up by 7.1% in August, outperforming the FTSE All Share total return Index which increased by 0.9% over the month. Over the last three months UIL's NAV total return was up 24.1% against the FTSE All Share total return Index of 5.4%.
Geopolitical tensions continued to dominate market sentiment in August with the US tariffs on a number of trading partners becoming effective on 1 August 2025. Later in the month, President Trump announced a doubling of tariffs on Indian imports to 50% in retaliation for India's oil purchases from Russia, effective 27 August 2025. This move appeared to trigger closer ties between India, China, and Russia, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi meeting both President Xi Jinping and President Vladimir Putin in Tianjin, China, at the end of August.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's comments at the Jackson Hole Symposium were interpreted by the market as a strong signal that the Federal Reserve is highly likely to cut rates at its September meeting. The S&P 500 Index was up by 1.9% in August.
