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

  • Over the month of July, despite a negative absolute performance, the Fund delivered a strong month in relative terms, driven by strong stock selection in a weak technology market.
  • Our strongest contributors were concentrated in software and AI infrastructure. Microsoft, Atlassian and GitLab benefited from continued strength in enterprise software spending and AI adoption, while Broadcom also contributed positively as they extended their partnership with Apple through 2031. These gains more than offset weakness elsewhere in the portfolio.
  • Additional positive contributions came from positions such as Credo Technology, Horizon Robotics, BizLink and Arista Networks, reflecting our exposure to structural beneficiaries of AI infrastructure, networking and digitalisation.
  • Performance was partially offset by weakness in several semiconductor-related holdings. Nitto Boseki, Grand Process Technology, SK Hynix, ASML and Lotes were the largest detractors as investors took profits across parts of the semiconductor supply chain following a period of exceptional performance.
  • Despite this short-term weakness, we remain constructive on the long-term outlook for these businesses. We believe recent share price weakness has been driven more by positioning and profit-taking than by any deterioration in underlying fundamentals and continues to create attractive opportunities to own high-quality technology franchises at more compelling valuations.

Outlook strategy

  • Over the month, we maintained our conviction in the AI infrastructure build-out, continuing to focus on companies positioned at critical nodes of the value chain, notably in semiconductors, advanced packaging and connectivity.
  • We maintain a low exposure to hyperscalers and manage it tactically across names, including trimming Microsoft following its recent strength.
  • By contrast, we have used weaker market days to add very gradually and selectively to semiconductor and hardware names.
  • These companies have delivered strong earnings and should continue to benefit from the AI infrastructure build-out, regardless of how quickly hyperscalers ultimately generate returns on their investments.
  • In the current environment, we continue to emphasise diversification across the technology stack, balancing high-growth semiconductor exposure with more cyclical and valuation-sensitive segments of the ecosystem, while actively managing position sizing in areas that have experienced very strong rallies.
