Carmignac Portfolio Long-Short European Equities fund performance

Take a look at the Fund's performance supported by our Fund managers’ market commentary and strategy insight.

Our monthly comments

Data as of:  30 Oct 2026.

Market environment

  • The Eurostoxx 50 ended October over 2% lower, but once again there was a lot of rotation underneath the surface, as banks dropped 12% while food staples rallied 11%.
  • The Nasdaq fell around 7% over the month, its third correction of the year and its second-worst month since the AI cycle began in early 2023.
  • The concerns about the AI cycle moved from the supply chain to capital and financing. The ability and appetite to finance the build-out have weakened as capital needs rise and the natural sources of funding have been tapped out. This is leading to widening credit spreads in a time where the market is already concerned about the returns on the build out and the circularity of the AI ecosystem.

Performance commentary

  • On the Long side, Banks and Industrials detracted and healthcare and life science positions drove our returns.
  • EssilorLuxottica was our largest contributor. The shares rose 11% on the day of its Q3 results and ended the month up 27%, as their third quarter revenues grew 9%, which topped consensus.
  • Fresenius and our life sciences positions (Charles River Laboratories, Lonza and Sartorius) also had a strong contribution.
  • Siltronic was our largest detractor, as the sell-off in semiconductors deepened.
  • Meta gave back much of its strong September gains despite very strong Q3 numbers as the market focus turned towards funding needs and AI spending commitments.
  • Our Greek positions, like GEK Terna and Eurobank, also detracted.
  • On the short side, our AI basket short and some of our Tech put positions benefited from the tech sell-off. Huhtamaki also contributed, as the shares fell after Q3 results showed a 9% decline in North American sales and continued weakness in foodservice packaging.
  • Our software and IT services shorts detracted (like Sopra Steria or Netcompany), as the market rotated further into software & IT services.

Outlook strategy

  • The net exposure of the strategy stayed in the low double digits throughout the month and we also brought down our gross exposure since September, as market volatility spiked.
  • We remain constructive on the Long side in industries such as infrastructure, specialty engineering, specialty chemicals, utilities, life sciences, aerospace, and semiconductors.
  • Our portfolio remains focused on stock specific and idiosyncratic drivers, rather than macro plays.
  • On the short side, we continue to find many new names in the Consumer and Industrials spaces with poor balance sheets and deteriorating fundamentals, bringing tightened margins and profit warnings.
