In July, the fund delivered a positive performance, outperforming its reference indicator.
Our exposure to technology stocks contributed strongly to this performance, notably through major U.S. tech names such as Nvidia, Alphabet, and Meta, the latter two having reported solid quarterly results.
In addition, our geographic diversification into emerging economies—via key players in the artificial intelligence value chain such as TSMC and Elite Material—also supported the fund’s momentum.
We also benefited from the strong performance of certain financial stocks, including Block, UBS, and S&P Global, during the period.
Conversely, our healthcare allocation weighed negatively on performance, impacted by Novo Nordisk, which revised down its growth forecasts, and Centene, which withdrew its earnings guidance for the year.
The fund remains broadly unchanged, with a continued focus on profitable growth companies, while maintaining a disciplined approach to valuations.
In the artificial intelligence space, we retain a high level of exposure, supported by accelerating investments from hyperscalers and the ongoing wave of technological innovation. Our positioning remains well-balanced between component manufacturers (notably in Asia) and AI applications, with a preference for high-potential niche players. Following the sector’s recent strong rally, we have taken partial profits on select positions.
In the aerospace segment, demand continues to outpace global GDP growth, while persistent production constraints are extending the lifecycle of existing fleets. We have increased our exposure to capture this dynamic, notably by reinitiating a position in Airbus, supported by encouraging signals across the supply chain.
On the consumer theme, our approach remains selective and diversified. We combine holdings in major global e-commerce platforms with niche companies, particularly in luxury goods and automotive components. This positioning limits exposure to traditional intermediary chains while capturing distinct and differentiated growth drivers.
