Market environment

  • Markets extended their recovery in May, building on April’s lows as consumer sentiment improved and trade tensions eased.
  • Despite President Trump’s threat to impose 50% tariffs on European imports, which initially impacted the markets, the MSCI Europe Index rose by over 4.5%, marking a surprisingly strong performance.

  • The rally was supported by a temporary delay in the tariff implementation—now postponed until July 9—which helped ease investor concerns and fuelled a rebound in European equities.

Performance commentary

  • In May, the fund achieved positive returns in absolute terms, though below its benchmark.
  • This underperformance was primarily driven by the Healthcare sector that has been affected by Trump’s executive order aimed at reducing high prescription drug prices.

  • The Belgian biotech Argenx, was the largest detractor, after it missed revenue expectations and faced investor concerns over potential changes to Medicare reimbursement policies.

  • On the positive side, ASML was the top contributor to performance, benefiting from improved global market sentiment following progress in U.S.-China trade negotiations.

  • Prysmian, a multinational manufacturer of power and telecom cables, also performed strongly, particularly in May, after reporting robust Q1 2025 results. Its Transmission segment stood out, delivering over 50% organic growth.

Outlook strategy

  • During the month, we made some adjustments to our portfolio by initiating a position in UBS, one of the few banks that aligns with our quality and sustainability criteria.
  • Conversely, we fully exited our holding in Atlas Copco following a period of underperformance.

  • We also modestly trimmed our position in SAP, as its strong fundamentals appear to be increasingly reflected in its valuation.

  • Additionally, we reduced our exposure to healthcare stocks, which have underperformed year-to-date amid tariff concerns. In contrast, we increased our allocation to industrials, which we believe are well-positioned to benefit from ongoing consolidation trends across Europe.

  • The Fund continues to rely on bottom-up fundamental analysis with a medium-to-long-term horizon.

  • We remain committed to our philosophy and believe this is a great opportunity for our investors to gain access to some of Europe’s best companies at attractive entry valuations.
