Market environment

US data continues to reflect a degree of economic resilience, with inflation figures still high. However, the disinflation trend continues in Europe. In the light of this, the Fed and the ECB are sticking to their plan and will probably start cutting interest rates this summer. This backdrop of robust growth, persistent inflation and more accommodative central banks is keeping the risky asset rally alive. Stock market indices rose further in March, with global equities enjoying their longest stretch of positive monthly performances since 2021. Fortunes were fairly consistent between the various regions. Energy and materials were the best performing sectors as commodity prices climbed. Oil was up 5% to $87 a barrel (Brent), while gold set a new record of more than $2,200 an ounce. The technology and consumer sectors fared worse, even if they did end the month higher. Stock markets remain on the up because they are still expecting the Fed to cut interest rates and the economy to land softly, which is good news for corporate earnings.

Performance commentary

Solid economic data pushed global equities even higher in March. All sectors ended in the black, and the Fund performed strongly in absolute terms, though slightly less well than its reference indicator. Our lack of exposure to commodities and industrials, along with our underexposure to financials, were the main reasons for this underperformance. While our new position in VIPshop and some of our IT names including Adobe, Accenture and Intuit weighed on performance, AI companies like NVIDIA and Alphabet, as well as obesity and weight loss drug manufacturer Novo Nordisk, continued to outperform.

Outlook strategy

Although the investment climate remained bright in February due to resilient economic data and relatively good results, we are being careful and keeping an eye on economic indicators to gain a better understanding of the uncertainties that lie ahead. Our portfolio therefore remains defensively positioned in high-quality, less cyclical stocks. We made a few changes to the portfolio during the month. We took profits on NVIDIA and Novo Nordisk while adding to our position in VIPshop. We closed our position in Puma as we are no longer convinced about the stock. We strengthened our position in Adidas after its new CEO arrived from Puma.

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.
