Market environment

  • European equities lost momentum in March, with the MSCI Europe trading more mixed as volatility picked up.
  • The escalation of geopolitical tensions, notably the conflict in Iran, weighed on sentiment and led to a more cautious market environment.
  • In parallel, the global debate around AI continued to drive dispersion, but its impact remained less pronounced in Europe than in the US.

Performance commentary

  • During the month of March, the fund delivered a negative absolute performance and underperformed its reference indicator.
  • Industrials weighed on performance. Schneider Electric declined amid growing concerns over the European economic outlook and a potential slowdown in activity.
  • Experian and RELX were also pressured by the perception that they could be AI losers, a view we consider unfounded given the strategic value of their proprietary data assets.
  • Healthcare was also a detractor. Several positions including Straumann, Alcon, Argenx, Sartorius and Genmab underperformed despite no material deterioration in fundamentals. We remain confident in these holdings, which we have maintained and selectively reinforced.
  • Finally, the Energy sector delivered strong performance during the month, but our lack of exposure given it does not meet our investment criteria represented a relative drag on performance.
  • On the other hand, our stock selection within Financials was a relative contributor versus the reference indicator.
  • Deutsche Börse delivered positive returns, benefiting from its defensive, earnings‑resilient business model, while Nordnet performed well after reporting a strong operating profit beat and reiterating its medium‑term guidance.
  • Another outlier during an otherwise difficult month was Galderma, which benefited from the complete exit of a consortium of financial sponsors, a move that was positively received by the market.

Outlook strategy

  • In March, we made several portfolio adjustments as new opportunities emerged.
  • We fully exited our position in Novo Nordisk following disappointing data from its next generation weight loss molecule, which we believe increases future competitive and generic risks.
  • We redeployed the capital to significantly increase our position in EssilorLuxottica, after a sharp share price pullback as we believe the market reaction overlooks other important growth drivers.
  • We also reduced exposure to Consumer Staples, amid concerns that rising logistics costs could pressure margins.
  • In this context, we fully exited Beiersdorf and meaningfully trimmed Unilever and L’Oréal.
  • Finally, within Industrials, we initiated a position in Belimo, a beneficiary of data centre infrastructure build out, following a share price pullback triggered by conservative guidance.
  • European quality stocks are oversold and now trade at attractive multiples.
  • The de rating of quality across sectors has occurred despite generally solid earnings delivery, suggesting the recent underperformance has gone beyond what fundamentals justify.
  • This creates an attractive entry point, especially as markets refocus on fundamentals and earnings visibility becomes increasingly valuable.
