Market environment

  • Global markets posted strong gains in USD terms, with both equities and bonds advancing. However, the weaker dollar against the euro translated into negative performance in euro terms.
  • US labour market data signalled a slowdown, prompting Fed Chair Jerome Powell at Jackson Hole to hint at possible rate cuts. Markets are now pricing in a 25 bps reduction in September.
  • Political tensions in the US intensified as President Trump dismissed the head of the BLS and moved to oust Fed Governor Lisa Cook, raising concerns about central bank independence.
  • The US yield curve steepened, with long-end yields climbing on worriesabout Fed independence.
  • In Europe, political risk re-emerged as the French Prime Minister faced a no-confidence vote. France remains a fiscal outlier within the Eurozone, amplifying investor unease.
  • Eurozone yields moved higher, supported by improved growth sentiment, while July inflation data was broadly in line with expectations.
  • Global equities hit new highs, buoyed by reduced tariff-related noise following the 1 August deadline, stronger US GDP growth, and rising expectations of Fed rate cuts in September.
  • The AI trade maintained strong momentum, with Nvidia reaching new all-time highs after robust results.
  • Trade tensions lingered as the US raised tariffs, including a 50% levy on Russian oil imports via India. Commodity markets diverged: oil and gas prices declined, while gold rallied.

Performance commentary

  • The fund delivered a positive performance over the month but remained below its reference indicator.
  • Stock selection continued to weigh on relative performance, particularly due to the underperformance of Alcon, Argenx, and Schneider Electric.
  • Year-to-date underperformance is mainly explained by the relative weakness of our long-term convictions, affected by the decline of the quality style in Europe.
  • On the fixed income side, we offset the rise in European yields thanks to reduced bond sensitivity, our inflation-linked positions, and our credit exposure.
  • Our diversification tools also contributed, particularly through our exposure to gold, silver, and currencies.

Outlook strategy

  • European growth is expected to remain weak in the near term, with a cyclical rebound likely only in late 2025 / 2026, supported by easing policy uncertainty, improving credit flows, and German fiscal stimulus.
  • Disinflation should continue into year-end as base effects fade and wage pressures ease.
  • Market expectations are no longer dovish; the yield curve is already pricing in hikes by late 2026. The asymmetry lies in the ECB’s stance: it will cut rates if necessary. Preference remains cautious on the long end.
  • Inflation-linked strategies look attractive, with real rates at decade highs.
  • We remain constructive on equities, with high exposure supported by the current environment.
  • Quality names offer attractive valuations, with opportunities in companies tied to long-term themes such as electrification and reindustrialisation. Allocation to banks has been reinforced, underpinned by strong fundamentals.
  • Credit spreads appear expensive and also provide a good hedge against equities, but carry remains appealing and dispersion offers alpha potential.
