Market environment

  • July was marked by renewed inflation concerns and growing scrutiny of the AI investment cycle, leading to greater differentiation across equity markets.
  • Higher energy prices and resilient macroeconomic data pushed long-term yields higher, weighing on highly valued growth stocks. Early US-Iran tensions briefly added to market uncertainty before attention shifted towards the Q2 earnings season.
  • Q2 earnings moved investors’ focus from AI enthusiasm towards AI monetization. Hyperscalers remained relatively resilient, while semiconductor stocks and other AI beneficiaries came under pressure amid stretched valuations, export control concerns and continued technological progress in China.
  • Positioning dynamics amplified the correction, as hedge fund deleveraging accelerated the unwind of crowded AI trades, contributing to a more than 20% decline in the SOX index over the month.
  • Against this backdrop, equity market leadership broadened, with value and quality stocks outperforming in developed markets. Emerging markets lagged, largely reflecting their greater exposure to the semiconductor value chain.

Performance commentary

  • Against this backdrop, the fund delivered positive performance in both absolute and relative terms. The barbell strategy proved effective, combining exposure to technology segments with high-quality companies in healthcare, financial infrastructure and more defensive software businesses.
  • Financial infrastructure holdings supported performance, notably Intercontinental Exchange and Mastercard. In healthcare, McKesson, Cencora and Regeneron were also among the leading contributors.
  • Conversely, hardware, component and equipment companies exposed to Asia’s AI value chain underperformed. SK Hynix was the largest detractor, followed by Nitto Boseki, TSMC, Asia Vital Components, Lotes and ASML. These stocks were affected by profit-taking amid concerns over the returns on AI investment and growing Chinese competition.
  • Profit-taking in selected high-beta stocks, particularly within the hardware segment, supported the fund’s relative performance in the technology sector. Meanwhile, software companies such as Atlassian and Microsoft benefited from the resilience of their recurring-revenue business models, helping them hold up well and, in some cases, rebound after a more challenging start to the year.
  • Equity derivative hedges helped cushion the impact of market declines over the period.

Outlook strategy

  • Following the volatility seen in July, we remain constructive on global equities while maintaining a selective approach. The portfolio continues to follow a barbell strategy, combining long-term beneficiaries of AI with high-quality companies operating in more defensive or still-undervalued segments.
  • We maintain limited exposure to hyperscalers. Competition in cloud computing and AI compels them to continue investing, but rising infrastructure spending is weighing on free cash flow, while visibility on monetisation and end-use cases remains limited. Their valuations may appear attractive on earnings multiples, but are less compelling on an enterprise value-to-free-cash-flow basis. We therefore substantially reduced our positions in Alphabet, Meta and Microsoft.
  • Conversely, we used market weakness to add gradually and selectively to several semiconductor and technology hardware companies, including SK Hynix, DISCO, Sumitomo Electric, Nitto Boseki and Lotes. Their earnings remain robust, and they should continue to benefit from the build-out of AI infrastructure, regardless of the pace at which hyperscalers ultimately monetise their investments.
  • Following their strong recent performance, we also trimmed McKesson and Cencora to lock in part of the gains. These portfolio adjustments enabled us to redeploy capital towards opportunities that, in our view, offer a more attractive risk-return profile, while preserving the balance between structural growth, valuation discipline and resilience.
