Market environment

  • May was marked by renewed inflationary pressure, a more hawkish central-bank backdrop and signs of geopolitical de-escalation. In particular, a credible attempt to reach an agreement between the US and Iran emerged towards month-end, helping oil prices decline sharply and fall below USD 100.
  • Equity-market sentiment remained constructive. Investors continued to look through inflation and monetary-policy concerns, supported by hopes of geopolitical easing and strong earnings momentum in AI-related infrastructure.
  • Global equities reached new highs in May, initially led by a narrow group of US technology, semiconductor and AI beneficiaries. Later in the month, expectations of a US-Iran agreement triggered a rebound in previous laggards and “war losers”, allowing European equities to partially catch up.
  • Emerging markets outperformed developed markets, led by Korea and Taiwan, which benefited from their exposure to the AI supply chain and continued hyperscaler capex demand.
  • US market leadership remained highly concentrated, with technology and especially semiconductors standing out, while broader market participation stayed weak.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month of May, the fund delivered a strong positive absolute performance but underperformed its reference indicator, driven primarily by a more selective exposure within Information Technology and an underweight to parts of the benchmark that rallied sharply.
  • Performance was once again led by our exposure to Tech Materials and the broader enabling layer of the semiconductor ecosystem, with names such as SK Hynix and TSMC as well as Astera Labs, the connectivity manufacturer, among the largest contributors, reflecting continued momentum in high-bandwidth memory and data centre connectivity solutions, key bottlenecks in AI infrastructure.
  • We also saw strong contributions from application software and systems software names, notably Atlassian and Servicenow, which benefited from resilient enterprise demand and improving sentiment around monetisation of AI capabilities.
  • On the other hand, performance was held back by several idiosyncratic detractors within our Asian Tech Materials and industrial supply chain exposure, particularly Nitto Boseki and Disco, both of which declined materially over the month, following a strong run in performance for both names.
  • In addition, some communications equipment like Arista Network detracted over the month despite earnings beat in Q1, driven by disappointing guidance versus very high expectations and selective software names.

Outlook strategy

  • Over the month, we maintained our conviction in the AI infrastructure build-out, continuing to focus on companies positioned at critical nodes of the value chain, notably in semiconductors, advanced packaging and connectivity.
  • Names that we have added to over the month were Asia Vital and Nitto Boseki on weakness.
  • In May we have also new names in the Tech Materials space with LPKF Laser & Electronics, Ichor and Grand process technology, three companies positioned at critical nodes of the semiconductor value chain, providing laser-based precision manufacturing solutions, fluid delivery subsystems and advanced process equipment respectively, all of which play a key enabling role in scaling AI-driven semiconductor production and advanced packaging
  • We have reduced our weight to software and remain disciplined where we see a divergence between long-term structural beneficiaries of AI and legacy models facing disruption, which we continue to reflect through selective positioning.
  • We took profits in Atlassian and ServiceNow that had a good month and exited Workday.
  • In the current environment, we continue to emphasise diversification across the technology stack, balancing high-growth semiconductor exposure with more cyclical and valuation-sensitive segments of the ecosystem, while actively managing position sizing in areas that have experienced very strong rallies.
