Market environment

  • European equities ended August modestly higher, recording its fifth consecutive monthly advance.
  • Markets were supported by a stronger-than-expected second-quarter earnings season and continued enthusiasm around AI-related investment, helping major indices remain close to record highs.
  • However, sentiment became more cautious during the second half of the month as renewed tensions in the Middle East pushed oil prices higher, reigniting concerns over inflation and interest rates.
  • Rising energy prices supported the energy sector but contributed to higher bond yields and weighed on more rate-sensitive areas of the market. Against this backdrop, expectations of further ECB policy tightening increased as eurozone inflation accelerated, while geopolitical developments and elevated energy prices remained key sources of volatility heading into September.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month of August, the fund delivered a strong positive absolute return significantly outperforming its reference indicator.
  • The strongest contributor over the month was our stock selection in Healthcare. Holdings such as Argenx, Sartorius, Genmab and BioNTech delivered strong gains following encouraging clinical developments and improving investor sentiment towards innovative healthcare companies. This more than offset weakness in a handful of names including AstraZeneca, Galderma and Straumann.
  • Industrials also made a significant positive contribution through both allocation and stock selection. Kingspan was the standout performer following strong operational execution and renewed confidence in the construction end-market, while Experian, RELX and IMCD continued to benefit from resilient earnings profiles and their ability to compound growth in a slowing macroeconomic environment.
  • Information Technology was another notable driver of performance. SAP and Nemetschek rallied strongly during the month, supported by robust results and continued enthusiasm around enterprise software and AI-related spending, while Bechtle also contributed positively as confidence in European IT services improved.
  • Financials also added meaningfully to relative returns, led by stock selection in Adyen, Deutsche Börse, Erste Group and Wise. Our exposure to high-quality exchanges, payment platforms and selected banks continued to be rewarded as earnings remained resilient and capital markets activity stayed supportive.

Outlook strategy

  • We made very few changes over the month of August. We did small additions to Astrazeneca on weakness over M&A rumours as well as in Euronext.
  • On the other hand, we reduced our weight in Alcon post results as our conviction in US ocular lens market growth is reducing as well as trimmed Genmab, Argenx, Schneider, Kingspan that have been strong recently.
  • We remain constructive on the outlook for the second half of 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.
