Market environment

• Markets have been climbing the wall of worry for most of the summer.• In August 2025, equity markets posted solid gains globally, with major indices such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reaching new record highs. These gains were primarily driven by a small group of mega-cap technology firms, including Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon.
• At Jackson Hole, following the release of July’s US non-farm payrolls—which suggested a slowing labour market—Powell opened the door to potential mid-September rate cuts. This fueled expectations of an aggressive cutting cycle.
• European markets underperformed in local currencies, with France lagging in particular due to political uncertainties.
• Chinese onshore equities rose to decade highs, supported by optimism around anti-involution reforms, strength in the technology sector, and incremental government measures aimed at boosting the equity market.
• The euro appreciated against the dollar over the period, creating a divergence between local currency and euro-denominated index performances.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month of August the fund had a negative absolute return but outperformed its benchmark.

  • Our positive relative performance came mostly from stock selection in our Industrial Tech & Digital Infrastructure theme.

  • Arista Networks, Astera Labs and Innodisk were among our largest performance contributors as demand for scalable, high performance networking and connectivity solutions drove growth across the sector.

  • In the cloud & software space, Alphabet was our top contributor over the month with continued performance we have been seeing over the past months.

Outlook strategy

  • In August, we continued building our position in Nitto Boseki within the Tech Materials space.

  • Within the AI value chain, these materials are used in servers for their exceptional thermal and mechanical stability.

  • Similarly we added to our position in Broadcom by trimming names that performed well like Astera Labs and Arista Networks.

  • Over the month, We also initiated a small position in Qualcomm based on valuation and the potential upside in AI. And sold out of small positions we had in Vertiv and Oracle.
