What we can tell you, though, is the defensive moves we\u2019ve made in our funds over the last few months (which have benefited your portfolio) are behind us.

And importantly, they\u2019re now in position to take advantage of any price weakness and growing bearish sentiment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>From the fund commentaries: &#8220;Founders [Fund] has been playing defense for a while now. We expect to shift back to offense in the coming weeks and months. The economic dislocation caused by the trade war will have a real impact, but many stocks will overreact. Lower valuations and fearful investors will provide opportunities to profitably allocate more of the fund into stocks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-grey-box not-a-bank\" style=\"margin-top: 20px;\">\n<h2 class=\"cta-grey-box__title\">We&#8217;re not a bank.<\/h2>\n<p>Which means we don&#8217;t have to communicate like one (phew!).
