Managers' Comments
The Managers’ Comments are taken from the Annual Management Report of Portfolio Performance (Operating Results), as at December 31, 2020.
The FDP Cash Management Portfolio, Series A posted a net return of 1.3% for 2020, versus 1.8% for 2019.
In the context of a global economy weakened by a pandemic, governments and central banks introduced unprecedented fiscal and monetary measures, which relieved markets and economies. For its part, the Bank of Canada has announced quantitative easing measures, purchasing government of Canada, provincial and corporate bonds and lowering its bank rate by 50 basis points on three occasions in 2020, lowering it from 1.75% to 0.25%.
In the last few months of 2020, positive news about COVID-19 vaccines, central banks’ intention to maintain an accommodating monetary policy for an extended period and the U.S. President-elect’s plan to introduce additional stimulus contributed to market performance late in the year.
