Market environment

  • April 2025 was characterized by notable volatility in the financial markets, marked by a sharp correction followed by an equivalent rebound, resulting in relatively minor final variations.- The month commenced with an announcement from Donald Trump concerning higher tariffs than the markets had anticipated. This "Liberation Day," as the US president termed it, created recession fears among investors, triggering a crisis of confidence and causing a flight from risky assets and US assets, including the dollar and Treasury bonds.
  • In response to the sharp market downturn, Trump suspended most of the tariff measures for 90 days, excluding China, which allowed equities to rebound.
  • European and emerging market equities continued to outperform their US counterparts. Gold was the standout winner of the month, in stark contrast to oil, which experienced a significant decline.
  • On the macroeconomic front, uncertainty surrounding trade barriers began to negatively impact leading US activity indicators, such as consumer sentiment.
  • The earnings season started robustly, yet companies expressed caution about the future due to ongoing tariff-related uncertainties.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month of April, the fund had a negative return in absolute terms but outperformed its benchmark in relative terms.
  • Our exposure to Healthcare and Consumer Staples was our primary source of relative outperformance over the month.

  • Stock selection in both sectors mentioned above was the biggest contributor to performance. L’Oreal, Lonza as well as Beierdorf and Nestle were among the largest contributors over the month of April.

  • Stock selection in the Technology sector was also supportive with stocks like ServiceNow and SAP among our top contributors.

  • In April our largest detractors were driven by our overweight to consumer discretionary stocks. Amazon and Adidas were among our largest detractors.

Outlook strategy

  • In April, we added back into higher beta names, like TSMC as well as in defensive names like Beiersdorf.
  • We reduced our positions in Adidas and took some profit on Colgate-Palmolive.

  • Over the month we have not initiated nor exited names in the portfolio.

  • We remain cautious in positioning our portfolio and continue to focus on higher quality companies.

The social theme is one of the most disregarded areas within ESG. Yet we believe that companies providing positive experiences to both their customers and employees are better positioned to achieve superior returns over the long run.
