Market environment

  • In February, markets were driven by rising concerns over AI disruption, renewed policy uncertainty and escalating geopolitical tensions. Anthropic’s new agentic AI release fueled fears of disintermediation and potential labor market impacts, while a US Supreme Court ruling on reciprocal tariffs added legal uncertainty and growing US–Iran tensions increased volatility toward month-end.
  • The economic backdrop continued to show signs of broadening global growth. Business surveys improved across several regions, while inflation pressures moderated further in the US, UK and Japan. This combination of steady activity and easing price dynamics supported markets, even as investors reassessed the sustainability of the current artificial intelligence investment cycle.
  • In the United States, equity markets were driven by heightened volatility among companies perceived as lagging in the AI race, alongside a clear rotation out of mega-cap technology stocks. While earnings overall remained resilient, investors grew more cautious about the disruptive implications of AI and the uncertain payback from heavy AI-related investment spending, putting pressure on leading growth stocks. The S&P 500 edged lower, with performance diverging markedly across sectors. More defensive and value-oriented areas, including materials, utilities, and energy, delivered relative outperformance.
  • In the euro area, equities moved higher, benefiting from improving activity indicators and continued disinflation. The European Central Bank kept rates unchanged, reiterating its confidence in the inflation trajectory. Sector performance reflected the global rotation, with energy and real estate outperforming, while parts of technology and financials lagged.
  • Emerging markets outperformed developed markets over the month, supported by strength in North Asian semiconductor exporters and firmer commodity prices. EM Asia delivered robust gains, driven primarily by hardware and infrastructure beneficiaries of the AI cycle, despite ongoing fragilities in China.

Performance commentary

  • In this context, the Fund delivered a negative performance over the period, underperforming its reference indicator.
  • Performance was mainly impacted by two factors: the implementation of equity hedges and stock selection.
  • The Fund was affected by sharp market rotations targeting perceived “AI losers,” particularly in the software and financial sectors, with Atlassian and S&P Global among the main detractors.
  • Doximity, a strategic healthcare platform used by more than 80% of U.S. physicians, was also impacted by these concerns as investors reassessed companies perceived as less directly exposed to the AI theme.
  • Many of these positions were built in recent weeks and months based on a contrarian view that markets may be too quick to determine the true winners and losers of AI.
  • Novo Nordisk also detracted from performance over the period.
  • Finally, the strategy was penalized by its equity hedges. While these instruments effectively protect the portfolio during market drawdowns, they mechanically detract from performance when markets move higher. These hedges were implemented in a context of renewed volatility across equity markets.

Outlook strategy

  • While headline indices appear relatively stable, underlying dispersion is extreme. Significant winners and losers are offsetting each other, even as several large stocks remain under pressure. We expect this environment to persist.
  • The “sell first, ask questions later” dynamic has repeated over recent weeks, with a clear target: perceived “AI losers,” particularly in software.
  • We actively manage our tech exposure. While hyperscaler exposure is becoming more selective amid an AI capex arms race and rising dispersion, we maintain positions in high-quality semiconductors (including Nvidia and Asian players) as well as in software.
  • In software, we believe AI will more likely be deployed on top of existing stacks rather than replacing them. Most enterprises still lack clean, unified, “AI-ready” data, and privacy, security, and compliance challenges remain significant for third-party agents at scale.
  • Beyond tech, we aim to use corrections not driven by fundamentals to initiate new positions or reinforce existing ones.
  • We maintain meaningful exposure to financials, which benefit from several trends including a pickup in M&A activity, bond and equity volatility, and opportunities among companies wrongly perceived as AI casualties
  • Finally, we are currently maintaining a low exposure to equity markets due to rising tensions in the Middle East and are increasing our exposure to the U.S. dollar.

I always strive to fully exploit the Fund’s dynamic nature. The return of inflation is the return of the economic cycle where truly active management will stand out even more as the recent years have shown.
