Market environment

  • Global equity markets delivered strong and broad-based gains in September 2025.
  • Emerging markets outperformed global equities, led by notable strength in China, Taiwan, and Korea.
  • AI-related stocks led the market, buoyed by a series of new deals and partnerships in AI infrastructure and computing, which further reinforced the sector’s strong momentum.
  • US markets also benefited from the Federal Reserve’s first rate cut of the year and a decline in Treasury yields.
  • The US dollar weakened as investors diversified away from the currency amid growing concerns over US institutional credibility.
  • Safe-haven assets saw renewed demand, propelling gold prices up nearly 11%, approaching USD 4,000 per ounce.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month of September, the fund had a positive absolute return but lagged its reference indicator.
  • Our exposure to Consumer Staples had the largest detracting effect on this month’s performance. The overweight to the sector and more specifically our stock selection in L’Oreal, Unilever and Beiersdorf did not support our performance. These three names represent c. 8% of the portfolio.
  • Similarly, while our overweight to the consumer discretionary and IT sectors were beneficial over the month, our exposure to Hilton, Amazon and Salesforce did not support the overall performance over the month. Slower AWS growth, for Amazon, weaker forecasts for Salesforce and weakness in the hospitality sector expressed these declines.
  • Nevertheless, within the IT sector we saw positive contribution from our Asian tech names like Samsung, TSMC and Tencent.

Outlook strategy

  • In September, we undertook few changes to the portfolio. We slightly added to our position in Eli Lilly, which we initiated in July.
  • We also added to Colgate Palmolive and TSMC, on the back of reducing exposure to some of the IT names that have recently done well, namely Alphabet, •Cisco, Samsung and Oracle, which we completely sold out of post the strong rally.
  • We remain cautious in positioning our portfolio and continue to focus on higher quality companies.

The social theme is one of the most disregarded areas within ESG. Yet we believe that companies providing positive experiences to both their customers and employees are better positioned to achieve superior returns over the long run.
