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 positive performance in September, underperforming nevertheless its reference indicator.
  • Celestica was the largest contributor, supported by continued strong demand from hyperscalers for AI computing and high-speed networking equipment. Nvidia and TSMC also contributed positively, alongside several Taiwanese AI supply-chain companies.
  • Asian semiconductor exposure was another key driver, notably through SK Square and SK Hynix. Memory stocks benefited from continued strength in HBM, where supply remains tight as hyperscalers continue to scale their AI infrastructure. Samsung Electronics also contributed positively.
  • On the downside, Broadcom was the main detractor. Despite strong quarterly results and AI semiconductor revenues rising 221% year-on-year, the shares declined after fourth-quarter revenue guidance fell short of elevated market expectations. Atlassian also weighed on performance, amid continued volatility across software names as investors reassessed the impact of AI on traditional SaaS business models.
  • Relative performance lagged the reference indicator, mainly due to stocks not held in the portfolio, including AMD, Apple and Intel. AMD and Intel rallied on stronger expectations for AI-related server CPU demand, while Apple benefited around the launch of its new iPhone 18 range.

Outlook strategy

  • We remain constructive on technology, while actively moderating portfolio risk after the strong performance of AI-related stocks. We have reduced some of our highest-beta and largest positions, including Broadcom, to limit concentration and preserve flexibility as dispersion within the sector increases. We remain more cautious on parts of the technology universe, particularly hyperscalers, where valuations remain demanding and the path from massive AI investment to sustainable returns is less certain.
  • Within semiconductors and compute, we increasingly favour Nvidia over Broadcom. Following recent earnings and considering the competitive landscape, Nvidia’s positioning remains particularly compelling. Broadcom continues to benefit from custom accelerators and potential XPU projects, but competition from Google’s TPUs and other in-house solutions makes the outlook more complex. By contrast, Nvidia retains a highly integrated hardware and software ecosystem and offers a more attractive valuation relative to its growth profile.
  • We continue to favour hardware across the AI value chain. Beyond memory, where we have increased exposure to South Korea through SK Hynix, SK Square and Samsung Electronics, we retain significant exposure to Taiwanese hardware suppliers and Japanese semiconductor-equipment companies. These businesses remain positioned at key bottlenecks and should benefit more directly from hyperscaler capex and rising demand for computing capacity.
  • Within software, 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, Bentley and Systems.
