Market environment

  • March 2026 was a clear risk-off month for global equities. The main catalyst was the escalation of the U.S.-Iran conflict, which pushed oil sharply higher, revived inflation fears and lifted yields.
  • In this context, central banks have adopted a more cautious stance, with investors now anticipating three rate hikes by the European Central Bank by the end of the year, and no longer expecting any easing from the Federal Reserve.
  • The first inflation data for the eurozone showed an initial impact of the conflict, with consumer prices rising by +2.5% year-on-year in March compared to +1.9% at the end of February while in the US, economic data remain resilient, both in the labor market and in leading indicators.
  • The selloff was broad-based but uneven: U.S. equities entered a sharp correction, Europe posted its worst month since 2022, and Emerging Markets recorded the deepest drawdowns.
  • Asian and European markets underperformance reflect their higher sensitivity to energy supply risks, with Korea emerging as the weakest market.
  • Energy was the only sector to deliver positive returns, while all other major sectors declined.
  • The technology sector remained under pressure due to the sharp rise in bond yields, although it was no longer the main driver of the overall market weakness.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month of March, the fund had a negative absolute performance slightly below its reference indicator, mostly driven by our allocation to industrial Tech & digital Infrastructure and Tech Materials. The sharp correction in semiconductors over the month was the dominant force in our returns over the month.
  • Semiconductor names like SK Hynix, and TSMC were large detractors over the month due to the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East and energy shock triggering a risk off move which saw profit taking in AI and semiconductor stocks.
  • Our off-benchmark names in the industrial sector such as Nitto Boseki, the Japanese materials company producing glass fibre used in semiconductor packaging, making it a critical upstream supplier for AI chips also suffered on the back of this broader risk off environment.
  • On the other hand, while software was hit hard over the first two months of the year, with SaaS names leading the decline amid persistent concerns that agentic AI could disrupt software business models they provided some resilience during this month’s downturn. Servicenow, Workday and Twilio are examples of this resilience.

Outlook strategy

  • In March, we trimmed some of our memory names, mostly Samsung, while keeping SK Hynix as our preferred name in the sector.
  • We also took profits in names that had done well like All Ring and Lotes in the Tech Materials bucket, while adding to ASML, Europe’s most important technology company.
  • On price weakness, we also added to Nitto Boseki, and Broadcom as well as continued building our position in JX advanced Metals, which supplies hard to replicate materials for AI chips as well as Credo Technology, which provides high speed, low power connectivity at a data center level.
  • In regard to hyperscalers, we have reduced our exposure to Microsoft in favor of Alphabet and Amazon.
  • We see Alphabet as relatively better positioned in the current environment, while Amazon should benefit from an acceleration in growth as capital expenditure catches up with demand
  • Over the month we initiated a position in Schneider Electric, which we held in the past and plays the global electrification theme.
  • 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, where we maintain a selective exposure to the most robust players, supported by historically attractive valuations.
