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:  Aug 31, 2026.

Market environment

  • August was characterized by continued stock-specific dispersion rather than a strong directional market move.
  • The Stoxx 600 finished the month higher, supported by a generally constructive earnings season, resilient economic data and continued optimism surrounding artificial intelligence-related investment.
  • While macroeconomic concerns remained present, investors focused primarily on corporate fundamentals, rewarding companies able to demonstrate earnings resilience and improved visibility despite an uncertain economic backdrop.
  • Investors increasingly rewarded companies exposed to structural investment themes, particularly electrification, power infrastructure and industrial automation, while businesses tied to discretionary consumer spending and segments of healthcare equipment and life sciences continued to face more challenging earnings revisions.

Performance commentary

  • In August, the fund delivered a positive performance, driven by the Long book.
  • On the Long side, Public Power Corporation was our largest contributor, after releasing a robust set of results.
  • The company continued to benefit from increasing investor confidence in the management's transformation strategy, as the company moves from a legacy regulated utility model towards a more balanced generation portfolio, with growing exposure to renewables and continued operational discipline.
  • Saipem was our second largest contributor, following a series of contract awards and positive industry data points that reinforced confidence in the durability of the offshore investment cycle.
  • Siltronic benefited from improving investor sentiment towards the semiconductor supply chain. While near-term wafer demand remains subdued, management commentary reinforced our view that the industry is progressing through the latter stages of a cyclical inventory correction.
  • On the short side, our medtech positions did particularly well. Fresenius Medical Care reported weaker than expected patient growth in the US dialysis business and lowered its outlook for US volume growth. Smith & Nephew also reported Q2 revenue below expectations and reduced its full year revenue growth guidance.

Outlook strategy

  • The net exposure of the strategy stayed in the 20s throughout the month.
  • We remain constructive on the Long side in industries such as specialty engineering, specialty chemicals, utilities, medical technology, aerospace and defense, and semiconductors.
  • We remain constructive on Europe in 2026, as the fiscal stimulus and low rates provide an attractive tailwind.
  • Germany has removed the fiscal drag which has weighted on Europe for more than a decade and the upcoming defense and infrastructure historic investment plan will have a profound impact on the overall region.
  • 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.
