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: Sep 30, 2025.Performance commentary
- In September, the fund posted a positive performance, driven both by the Long book and the Short book.
- Within our Core Longs, we benefited from the wave of AI and data center investment announcements, which revived the enthusiasm around the AI infrastructure buildout. Our positions in ASML and SK Hynix made a large contribution to our returns.
- On the Trading Long, our position in Prosus drove returns, as they announced the acquisition of La Centrale, a French auto classifieds platform. This announcement, combined with continued share buybacks, signals strong management’s confidence to continue investing in growth areas.
- On the Short side, our Structural Short in Pernod Ricard had a strong contribution to our alpha. The stock was downgraded by several large banks in September, as softer consumer demand for alcohol weighs on its business. A recent survey found that the share of US adults who drink has fallen to 54%, the lowest level since 1939.
Outlook strategy
- The net exposure of the strategy stayed quite high throughout the month in the 30-50% range, as we scaled back up our positions in the Tech sector.
- We keep strong convictions on the Long side in European companies excelling globally and benefiting from local monopolies.
- These include industries such as luxury goods, specialty engineering, ERP software, specialty chemicals, medical technology, aerospace and defense, and classifieds.
- We believe Europe presents for the first time in a long time a very attractive entry point, with a risk/reward skewed to the upside thanks to several factors we discuss in our latest quarterly letter.
- 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.
- 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.
