Market environment

  • Government bond markets came under significant pressure as persistent inflation, elevated public debt and resilient economic activity pushed yields sharply higher.
  • In constrast, US equities were broadly flat, but market leadership became increasingly narrow, with the Nasdaq reaching new highs even as the majority of US stocks declined.
  • AI remained a key source of both market support and volatility, with some rotation within technology from semiconductor leadership towards hyperscalers and software.
  • AI newsflow remained intense. Calls from leading AI executives to slow the development of frontier models initially pressured semiconductors, before the successful launch of Meta’s Muse revived expectations around agentic AI adoption and future compute demand.
  • Outside the US, performance remained differentiated. Japan was among the stronger developed markets, while Emerging Markets continued to benefit from AI-linked Asian markets. Europe meanwhile underperformed.
  • Geopolitical tensions resurfaced through energy markets, with renewed instability in the Middle East pushing oil prices higher and adding to inflation concerns, while the broader macroeconomic backdrop remained resilient.

Performance commentary

  • The Fund delivered a negative performance in both absolute and relative terms in September.
  • The month was characterised by pronounced style dispersion, with AI-linked growth and momentum remaining strong, while quality and more defensive exposures came under pressure.
  • Technology remained the main positive contributor, supported by our exposure to the AI infrastructure value chain. Nvidia, TSMC, SK Hynix and SK Square all contributed positively, as continued hyperscaler investment sustained demand for compute capacity and high-bandwidth memory. Celestica also benefited from robust demand for networking and data-centre infrastructure. Nevertheless, we were penalized in relative terms by our lack of exposure to stocks such as Meta, Apple and AMD.
  • Financial infrastructure holdings were the main source of weakness, notably S&P Global, Adyen, Equifax and Tradeweb. Equifax was particularly affected by changes to the US mortgage credit-scoring framework, which increased competition from alternative scoring models.
  • Healthcare exposure also detracted, notably through Cencora and several smaller positions. Cencora remained under pressure following the previously announced loss of certain Walgreens volumes, despite resilient underlying fundamentals and a recent increase in its full-year earnings guidance.

Outlook strategy

  • We remain constructive on global equities, but increasingly selective. While US equity indices remain close to record highs, market leadership is still concentrated in a relatively narrow group of AI-related companies, masking a much more heterogeneous picture beneath the surface. Market volatility increasingly lies below the index level, with frequent sector, thematic and style rotations creating significant dispersion between individual stocks and sub-segments. In this environment, stock selection and valuation discipline are becoming increasingly important.
  • Within technology, we continue to favour bottlenecks in the AI value chain over hyperscalers. Data centres providers are maintaining exceptionally high capital-expenditure plans, but questions around the return on these investments are becoming increasingly relevant. We have therefore continued to reduce hyperscaler exposure, recently exiting Microsoft, while retaining significant exposure to semiconductors, memory and equipment manufacturers, where AI spending translates more directly into revenues and cash flows. We notably reinforced our South Korean exposure through SK Hynix, SK Square and Samsung Electronics, which continue to trade at attractive valuations relative to the strength of the memory cycle.
  • Within software, this dispersion is also creating selective opportunities. We favour companies with mission-critical workflows, proprietary data, high switching costs and strong distribution. Some of these businesses have de-rated materially on AI disruption fears despite resilient fundamentals, leading us to initiate positions in Autodesk and Synopsys.
  • Beyond technology, we are progressively building small baskets of differentiated exposures to diversify the portfolio’s performances drivers. These include drug distributors and selected biotech companies within healthcare, emerging-market banks, financial-market infrastructure providers and high-quality industrial companies. We seek businesses with strong competitive positions, attractive cash generation and idiosyncratic earnings drivers, helping reduce dependence on the AI cycle while retaining upside from company-specific catalysts.
