Performance review

86% of our assets under management rank in the top two quartiles of their respective categories over three years1.
Kevin THOZET
Portfolio Advisor & Member of the Investment Committee
Against a backdrop of significant equity market rotations, elevated long-term yields and greater currency volatility, less stable correlations, wider dispersion and a busy political agenda reinforce the importance of active, agile and disciplined portfolio management.
- Records on the surface, rotations underneath: global equity indices continue to reach new highs, but the underlying market moves have been striking. This is an environment well suited to agility, one of our hallmarks. Carmignac Investissement2 has successfully navigated these rotation episodes: significantly ahead of its benchmark, the Fund ranks in the first decile of its Morningstar category over 1, 3 and 5 years.
- 2026 has been a standout year for emerging markets, which have delivered across the board. This is an investment universe we know well, and the results speak for themselves: Carmignac Emergents, one of our most subscribed equity funds, has returned +28% year to date.
- Bond markets have also required agility and active management this year. Carmignac Portfolio Flexible Bond3 illustrates this well: the Fund is 3% ahead of its reference indicator and has delivered 12 consecutive quarters of positive performance, a consistency worth highlighting in a mixed fixed-income environment.
- In credit markets, the shock stemming from Iran and the rise in short-term rates have weighed on performance, but have also mechanically increased portfolio carry for the quarters ahead. Against this backdrop, Carmignac Portfolio Credit remains close to its benchmark and ranks among the leading funds in its category.
- Carmignac Patrimoine is up +8% this year, extending the momentum established over the past three years, with an annualised return of 9.5% over the period. Equities, rates and currencies have taken turns as performance drivers, with all three contributing positively to relative performance4.
Our macroeconomic outlook

Climate and geopolitical shocks are shaving 0.4 percent off of global growth in 2026.
Raphaël GALLARDO
Chief Economist

EUROPE
EUROPE IS NAVIGATING BY SIGHT
- Growth remains resilient, supported by exports and household consumption.
- The multiplication of supply shocks (Iran, Ukraine, El Niño) threatens price stability in the short and medium-term.
- The 2027 electoral calendar adds to political uncertainty and risk premia.

UNITED STATES
THE TECHNOLOGY BOOM AT RISK FROM HIGHER INTEREST RATES
- Domestic demand remains above potential, supported by the AI investment boom and consumption driven by positive wealth effects.
- Geopolitical shocks and the rebounds in the labour market are forcing the Fed to increase rates, at the risk of undermining the equity market rally ahead of the midterm elections.

CHINA
CHINESE HYPERMERCANTILISM UNDER PRESSURE FROM THE WEST
- The use of strategic oil reserves has helped shield the economy from the shock.
- Domestic demand remains weighed down by property deflation, while exports are facing the threat of increasing protection in Europe.
Reading the macro environment, guiding tactical asset allocation

Kristofer BARRET
Head of Global Equities, Fund Manager
EARNINGS GROWTH, THE KEY DRIVER OF EQUITY MARKETS
We maintain high equity exposure, while increasing diversification beyond technology and AI, particularly towards companies combining growth and quality, as well as goldminers. The objective is to benefit from a market rally broadening to a wider range of sectors and styles.
In AI, we favour semiconductors, which directly benefit from hyperscalers’ massive investment and the subsequent bottlenecks for certain players.
We are increasing diversification towards structural growth themes trading at depressed valuations: payments, financial infrastructure, biotech, e-commerce and emerging market banks.
We maintain attractive levels of protection, while index volatility remains low - despite significant dispersion across individual stocks.

Eliezer BEN ZIMRA
Fund Manager
AN ATTRACTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR FLEXIBLE FIXED-INCOME STRATEGIES
We remain cautious on US long-term rates, given resilient growth, persistent inflation and elevated financing needs. Inflation risks appear underestimated, while the AI-related investment cycle could fuel upward pressure on prices in the short term.
We see opportunities at the long end of the Japanese yield curve, where the historic rise in yields offers carry of close to 6% in Japanese yen - a remarkable level for an A-rated issuer.
We also see potential in 5-year European bonds, across both nominal and real yields.
The growing divergence in economic and monetary cycles is creating a favourable environment for flexible and selective fixed-income management.
When rising prices reshape market leadership

Frédéric LEROUX
Head of Cross Asset, Fund Manager
STRONGER NOMINAL GROWTH REQUIRES A RETHINK OF PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION
- Inflation is being fuelled by essential investment needs (AI, climate, defence), which are difficult to curb without weighing on growth. Combined with supply constraints, supporting economic activity is becoming more inflationary.
- This new economic regime calls for broader exposure to commodities and inflation strategies. Combined with flexible management, these sources of diversification can help portfolios adapt to an environment that vastly differs from that of the past two decades.

Xavier HOVASSE
Head of Emerging Equities, Fund Manager
EMERGING MARKETS: FROM A TACTICAL BET TO A STRATEGIC ALLOCATION
Economic orthodoxy has shifted. With inflation under control, contained debt and deficits, and high real interest rates, emerging markets are entering this new regime with stronger fundamentals.
The return of tangible assets is reinforcing the appeal of emerging markets. Commodities, infrastructure and semiconductors are strategic assets in which emerging markets play a central role and to which our allocations provide targeted exposure.
From a tactical bet to a strategic building block. Emerging markets combine diversification, growth and attractive returns.
Balancing return and liquidity across horizons

Édouard BOSCHER
Head of Private Equity
PRIVATE EQUITY AT THE DAWN OF A NEW CYCLE
- Investment conditions are becoming more favourable: valuations have normalised, leverage is better controlled and transaction activity is gradually recovering, supported by a particularly dynamic secondary market.
- Evergreen structures facilitate access to Private Equity, particularly when they combine secondary investments, direct investments and a liquid bond allocation.
- Managing an Evergreen fund goes beyond its structuring: allocation, investment pacing, cash-flow management and liquidity are essential to reconcile performance with semi-liquidity.

Pierre VERLÉ
Head of Credit, Co-Head of Fixed Income, Fund Manager
FAVOUR DEFENSIVE CARRY AND SELECTIVITY
Growth and solid fundamentals continue to support credit markets, despite the orderly increase in defaults linked to the restructuring of unsustainable capital structures.
Tight spreads encourage us to favour defensive carry. The rise in interest rates is also shifting returns from past years into higher carry for the period ahead.
We favour robust, highly rated issuers, particularly in financials and energy, while maintaining our flexibility.
