Market environment

  • September saw fairly solid returns for European equity markets, with the MSCI Europe up around 1.6%.
  • The improved risk appetite was mainly driven by signs of economic resilience in the US and the anticipated US interest rate cut that supported growth oriented sectors.
  • Technology stocks led the advance driven by further investor enthusiasm for AI. The increased capital expenditure on AI infrastructure supported names like ASML.

Performance commentary

  • During the month of September, the fund had a slight negative absolute performance underperforming its reference indicator.
  • Financials was the primary detractor. Our slight underweight and stock exposure to the financial infrastructure names like Euronext and Deutsche Boerse did not support our performance, although BBVA and UBS were decent contributors to returns.
  • Our consumer names also suffered over the period, our holdings in L’Oreal, Unilever and Beiersdorf were among our largest detractors.
  • In contrast, Our stock selection in IT was beneficial with ASML our largest contributor over the month. Similarly, in the healthcare sector the news of Genmab’s bid on Merus benefited our holding in Merus which was up c. 40% over the last few days of September.

Outlook strategy

  • In September, we initiated a new position in Ashtead, a leading provider of construction, industrial and general equipment for short-term rental and in Erste Bank the Austrian Bank.
  • We also trimmed exposure to healthcare names like Galderma and EssilorLuxottica post strength as well as Novo Nordisk and Zealand Pharma on continuing lacklustre prescription growth of Wegovy.
  • Conversely, we increased our allocation to DSV, Euronext and Unilever on relative weakness.
  • After the euphoric rise in domestic European sectors, we believe that the market is likely to come to terms with the reality that the implementation of recently announced fiscal spending plans and their tangible economic impact will take longer than initially anticipated.
  • We believe that higher visibility should ultimately be rewarded. Quality companies still show strong financials, resilient earnings, and long-term growth potential.
  • This creates an attractive entry point for long-term investors, especially as markets refocus on fundamentals and earnings visibility becomes increasingly valuable.
