Market environment

  • In February, markets were driven by rising concerns over AI disruption, renewed policy uncertainty and escalating geopolitical tensions. Anthropic’s new agentic AI release fueled fears of disintermediation and potential labor market impacts, while a US Supreme Court ruling on reciprocal tariffs added legal uncertainty and growing US–Iran tensions increased volatility toward month-end.
  • The economic backdrop continued to show signs of broadening global growth. Business surveys improved across several regions, while inflation pressures moderated further in the US, UK and Japan. This combination of steady activity and easing price dynamics supported markets, even as investors reassessed the sustainability of the current artificial intelligence investment cycle.
  • In the United States, equity markets were driven by heightened volatility among companies perceived as lagging in the AI race, alongside a clear rotation out of mega-cap technology stocks. While earnings overall remained resilient, investors grew more cautious about the disruptive implications of AI and the uncertain payback from heavy AI-related investment spending, putting pressure on leading growth stocks. The S&P 500 edged lower, with performance diverging markedly across sectors. More defensive and value-oriented areas, including materials, utilities, and energy, delivered relative outperformance.
  • In the euro area, equities moved higher, benefiting from improving activity indicators and continued disinflation. The European Central Bank kept rates unchanged, reiterating its confidence in the inflation trajectory. Sector performance reflected the global rotation, with energy and real estate outperforming, while parts of technology and financials lagged.
  • Emerging markets outperformed developed markets over the month, supported by strength in North Asian semiconductor exporters and firmer commodity prices. EM Asia delivered robust gains, driven primarily by hardware and infrastructure beneficiaries of the AI cycle, despite ongoing fragilities in China.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month of February, the fund had a positive return both in absolute and relative terms driven by strong selection in our Japanese industrial names Nitto Boseki in the Tech Materials space and Furukawa Electric in the Industrial tech space.
  • Nitto Boseki, the high-grade glass fibre supplier to semiconductors raised its full year profit guidance following strong nine-month results driven by AI infrastructure demand. We saw similar drivers for Furukawa Electric, suppliers of cables and components to data centres.
  • Tech Materials as a whole was the top performing sub theme over the month with TSMC leading the way with an expanded guidance and investors favouring AI enablers over potential AI disruptees.
  • On the other hand, Cloud & Software names fell sharply over the month with SaaS names leading the decline on continued fears of agentic AI disrupting software business models.
  • Atlassian, for example was among the hardest hit over the month despite an earnings expectation beat.

Outlook strategy

  • In February we continued building our positions in Yageo the Taiwanese electronic component supplier and Hainan Drinda New Energy Tech the manufacturer of photovoltaic equipment.
  • We also took advantage of valuations to add to Amazon, Alphabet, given the recent pull back.
  • On the other hand, we sold out of Elite Materials on the back of price appreciation, Mediatek as we see underappreciated risk to their core smartphone business due to risks as well as Accenture where we could see meaningful business shift risk.
  • Over the month we initiated new positions in Japanese Tech Material names like Ibiden, JX advanced Materials and Furukawa where we see valuation upgrade potential as well as Voltronic, a Taiwanese mid cap company in the electricity management and storage space.
  • In software, we believe AI will more likely be deployed on top of existing stacks rather than replacing them. Most enterprises still lack clean, unified, “AI-ready” data, and privacy, security, and compliance challenges remain significant for third-party agents at scale.
  • In the current environment we believe it is important to look at all segments of Technology and capture entry points in areas we think demonstrate undervalued growth as well as diversify our holdings across software.
