Market environment

  • July was marked by renewed inflation concerns and growing scrutiny of the AI investment cycle, leading to greater differentiation across equity markets.
  • Higher energy prices and resilient macroeconomic data pushed long-term yields higher, weighing on highly valued growth stocks. Early US-Iran tensions briefly added to market uncertainty before attention shifted towards the Q2 earnings season.
  • Q2 earnings moved investors’ focus from AI enthusiasm towards AI monetization. Hyperscalers remained relatively resilient, while semiconductor stocks and other AI beneficiaries came under pressure amid stretched valuations, export control concerns and continued technological progress in China.
  • Positioning dynamics amplified the correction, as hedge fund deleveraging accelerated the unwind of crowded AI trades, contributing to a more than 20% decline in the SOX index over the month.
  • Against this backdrop, equity market leadership broadened, with value and quality stocks outperforming in developed markets. Emerging markets lagged, largely reflecting their greater exposure to the semiconductor value chain.

Performance commentary

  • In July, the Fund posted a positive absolute and relative performance.
  • Technology was the main relative contributor, benefiting from strong stock selection in a highly dispersed market environment.
  • Our barbell approach, combining long-term semiconductor winners such as Nvidia and Broadcom with selected software companies, while avoiding high-beta momentum stocks that experienced sharp sell-offs, supported performance.
  • Microsoft rallied in July after strong earnings that demonstrated clear monetisation of its AI investments. Azure growth accelerated well ahead of expectations, Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption continued to increase which reassured investors that elevated AI-related capex is translating into tangible revenue growth.
  • Mastercard and RELX performed strongly during the month, as resilient earnings and a rotation into high-quality compounders eased concerns over AI disruption and reinforced the view that AI is an enabler rather than a threat.
  • Our healthcare holdings continued strong performance after a period of muted returns. Thermo Fisher and Regeneron performed strongly following better-than-expected earnings, which reinforced confidence in their growth outlooks.
  • On the other hand, ASML and Prysmian underperformed during the month as investors rotated away from some of the year's strongest performers amid a sharp momentum unwind, despite fundamentals remaining broadly intact.
  • Consumer Discretionary was the largest detractor. IHG and Hermès underperformed during the month, with the latter pressured by results that highlighted a softer luxury demand environment.

Outlook strategy

  • During this month, we made several portfolio adjustments.
  • We took profits in technology holdings such as ASML and completely exited Arista after their strong performance, while adding to healthcare positions including EssilorLuxottica and AstraZeneca.
  • We believe many defensive growth names remain oversold, and we are selectively looking to add exposure where valuations have become more compelling, and fundamentals remain strong as investors start to revisit companies with strong brands, pricing power and visible long-term compounding characteristics.
  • In the current environment, earnings visibility and balance sheet strength are likely to be increasingly rewarded.
  • Our conviction is unchanged: AI is more likely to strengthen existing software ecosystems than replace them outright, while regulated data, mission-critical workflows and high barriers to switching should protect leading franchises.
  • The fund consists of a balanced mix of AI exposure, healthcare and quality compounders. Fundamentals remain robust, supported by resilient earnings growth, strong cash generation, high returns on capital, and limited balance-sheet risk.
  • The portfolio remains positioned to benefit from long term secular growth trends such as AI and digital transformation, while retaining the flexibility and discipline required to navigate an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop.
