Market environment

  • Activity remained resilient, particularly in the US. Q2 GDP grew 1.5% annualised, while private domestic demand rose a stronger 4.2%. The labour market softened, with July payrolls down 23,000 and unemployment at 4.1%, while inflation eased only marginally to 3.4%. In the euro area, Q2 GDP grew 0.4% QoQ, while August inflation rose to 3.3%, mainly on higher energy prices.
  • At Jackson Hole, Chair Warsh struck a hawkish tone, stressing that the economy remains resilient, financial conditions are not restrictive, and inflation has yet to improve sufficiently.
  • Global equities reaching new highs on resilient macro data, strong earnings and a recovery in AI/semis stocks.
  • Emerging markets outperformed developed markets, led by a strong rebound in Taiwan and Korea as semiconductor and AI-related stocks recovered from their June–July sell-off. Japan also performed strongly, while Europe lagged because of its lower Technology exposure and greater sensitivity to energy volatility.
  • The US dollar weakened, pressured by higher fiscal and policy risk premia and renewed concerns around currency debasement. Against this backdrop, gold a were among the strongest-performing assets.
  • Oil remained volatile but broadly unchanged, as persistent tensions between the US and Iran supported prices, while broader supply and demand dynamics limited the upside.

Performance commentary

  • In August, the Fund posted a positive absolute and relative performance.
  • Technology was the main absolute contributor, benefiting from strong stock selection in a highly dispersed market environment, despite our underexposure to the sector.
  • Our barbell approach, combining long-term semiconductor winners such as Nvidia and with selected software companies like Microsoft and SAP while avoiding high-beta momentum stocks that experienced high volatility, supported performance.
  • Nvidia, our biggest position supported by another set of results comfortably ahead of expectations and management guidance pointing to sustained AI-driven demand.
  • Industrials was the largest contributor, driven by Kingspan's exposure to energy-efficiency trends and Equifax's strong execution, supported by its unique data assets and continued growth in cloud-based analytics.
  • Our healthcare holdings continued strong performance after a period of muted returns. Healthcare was supported by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and Genmab. Vertex benefited from strong execution and growing confidence in the durability of its cystic fibrosis franchise, while Genmab advanced on robust results and increasing optimism around upcoming clinical catalysts.
  • While Nvidia benefited from continued evidence of strong AI-related demand and another significant earnings beat, hyperscalers such as Alphabet and Amazon lagged as investors remained focused on the substantial capital expenditure required to build AI infrastructure and awaited clearer evidence of future returns on those investments.

Outlook strategy

  • During this month, we made several portfolio adjustments.
  • We initiated positions in Epiroc and Tradeweb, two high-quality franchises exposed to structural growth trends. Epiroc benefits the long-term need for critical minerals, while its growing exposure to automation and electrification, while Tradeweb is well positioned to capture the continued electronification of fixed-income markets.
  • 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 portfolio is diversified across sectors and sources of structural growth, reducing reliance on any single theme or market factor and providing resilience across different economic and market environments.
  • 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.
