Market environment

  • European equities delivered a solid positive month in June, driven by gains in technology after a mid-month correction as investors regained confidence in AI-related earnings growth and Financials gaining in stronger economic expectations and resilient earnings.
  • The markets were primarily supported by improving macro data, with better-than-expected European retail sales and business activity helping ease recession concerns, despite an ECB rate hike of 25 basis points to anchor inflation expectations as headline inflation reached 3.2% in May, significantly above the 2% target.
  • Oil prices eased towards month-end following reduced geopolitical tensions, benefiting sectors sensitive to input costs while weighing on energy producers.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month of June, the fund delivered a positive absolute return but slightly underperformed its reference indicator.
  • Our stock selection in Materials and no exposure to Energy was the largest contributor to performance. Novonesis, the global BioSolutions company was among our top performers over the month as investors gained confidence in its ability to deliver earnings growth and reaffirmed guidance.
  • In the tech space, our performance was supported by ASML, our largest contributor over the month, benefitting from regained confidence in the AI theme. Unfortunately, the overall performance was subdued by our software names, SAP and Nemetschek, underperforming versus hardware AI stocks.
  • We also saw good stock selection in healthcare throughout the month. Argenx demonstrated continued confidence in Vyvgart's commercial momentum and pipeline expansion, Straumann upgraded 2026 margin guidance on stronger execution and lower tariffs, and Galderma demonstrated sustained momentum across its dermatology and aesthetics portfolio.
  • Our overweight to Industrials also did not support outperformance over the month. IMCD, DSV and RELX underperformed as investors rotated away from defensive quality names, while concerns over industrial demand, a subdued freight market and valuation weighed on sentiment.

Outlook strategy

  • We made few changes over the month of June. Throughout the month we trimmed a few names on strength and recent high momentum. We continued trimming Prysmian on strength as well as starting to trim Schneider Electric. Both name looking somewhat extended notwithstanding strong fundamentals as well as being highly correlated to AI sentiment.
  • Among financials, we continued to trim UBS into recent strength, and added to BBVA, Erste and added a new position in National Bank Greece.
  • In Industrials we also sold out of Belimo completely post significant rally and at target price and reduced Kion, preferring to add to Interpump in the sector.
  • On the other hand, we added to names on relative weakness, such as DSV, EssilorLuxottica and Grenergy Renovables.
  • We remain constructive on the outlook for 2026. We believe high quality European equities are heavily oversold and now trade on appealing valuations, offering an attractive entry point for long term investors.
