Performance commentary
- During the month of July, the Fund recorded a slightly negative absolute performance, in line with its reference indicator.
- The underperformance versus the benchmark last month is mainly due to the market rotation to small cap companies and the rally in Banks which we do not hold in our portfolio.
- Lonza and Argenx have been the two best performers in the fund after both reported strong quarterly results and provided an optimistic outlook, which benefited the Fund.
- Our biggest detractor during the month has been Novo Nordisk which experienced a significant decline during the month.
- The decline was mainly due to the ongoing momentum unwind and news of competition from rival company Roche, who released early data on an oral GLP-1 product.
- Having no exposure to Communication Services penalised the Fund while, on the contrary, having no exposure to Energy has been supportive.
Outlook strategy
- During the month we have made several adjustments to our portfolio. We significantly reduced our holdings in high momentum stocks, including SAP, Schneider, ASML, and Novo Nordisk.
- On the other hand, we made small additions to Healthcare stocks that have been underperforming recently, such as Straumann and Beiersdorf and Demant.
- The Fund continues to rely on bottom-up fundamental analysis with a medium-long term horizon.
- As rate cuts have started in Europe and the economies weaken, we are encouraged that markets should be able to ride out a period of weaker economic strength and some political headlines.
- We stick to our process of focusing on profitable companies with high returns on capital, reinvesting for growth and maintain our focus on stocks and sectors with strong visibility on sales and profits.
