I always strive to fully exploit the Fund’s dynamic nature. The return of inflation is the return of the economic cycle where truly active management will stand out even more as the recent years have shown.

Market environment

  • Global equities rallied strongly in April 2026. The ceasefire in the Middle East was the main catalyst behind the equity rally, although tangible progress remained limited throughout the month. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz continued to keep risks to global energy markets elevated.
  • The risk-on move was concentrated in tech-heavy markets—such as the Nasdaq and parts of Southeast Asia—supported by AI momentum and strong earnings in the technology sector, particularly toward the end of the month.
  • Emerging Markets outperformed, led by AI supply-chain hubs such as Taiwan and South Korea, while Europe and Latam underperformed due to their limited exposure to the technology sector.
  • Most companies reported 1Q26 earnings in April. In the US, the earnings season proved very strong across all sectors. The four largest spenders on AI computing infrastructure (Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta and Amazon) broadly reassured markets regarding their outlook and investment plans. In Europe, earnings beats were more modest; although margins remained resilient, European firms turned more cautious on the outlook amid ongoing war-related uncertainty.

Performance commentary

  • In this context, the fund delivered a positive performance and also outperformed its reference indicator.
  • Performance was driven by both developed and emerging markets, with the AI value chain remaining the key common theme across regions.
  • The main contributors to performance were SK Hynix, TSMC, Alphabet and Nvidia. Several of our more differentiated holdings, including Asia Vital Components, Lotes and Credo, also ranked among the top contributors.
  • Our recent additions within Japan’s technology value chain, notably Nitto Boseki and Ibiden, also contributed positively.
  • In Europe, performance was mainly supported by industrial names such as Prysmian, IMCD and Siemens.
  • Nevertheless, the fund was negatively impacted by the implementation of equity market hedges in a particularly volatile environment.
  • Finally, our U.S. dollar hedges contributed positively to the strategy’s performance over the month.

Outlook strategy

  • A strong earnings backdrop and continued optimism around AI remain powerful tailwinds for equity markets, leading investors to look through the energy shock and higher interest rates. So far, the energy shock does not appear severe enough to derail the AI investment cycle, which continues to exceed expectations.
  • Beyond fundamentals, momentum remains a key market driver. Beneath the surface, dispersion is elevated and daily moves have become increasingly sharp, creating both risks and opportunities for active investors.
  • In this context, discipline remains essential: maintaining valuation awareness, staying flexible across the growth spectrum, and looking beyond the index to limit momentum bias.
  • Over the month, our main strategy was to take regular, incremental profits on our semiconductor exposure, especially in higher-beta names, while reinforcing our “diversifiers”. This included, on the one hand, a defensive bucket composed of US drug distributors and names such as Berkshire Hathaway, and, on the other hand, a growing allocation to Emerging Market banks.
  • We are gradually reducing our software exposure. Although earnings were broadly strong, the threat of AI-native disruption is likely to play out over a much longer timeframe and may be questioned at every earnings season over the next 6 to 12 months. In our view, the market is trying to price a risk that is unlikely to materialise in reported numbers for several quarters.
