Market environment

  • In February, markets were driven by rising concerns over AI disruption, renewed policy uncertainty and escalating geopolitical tensions. Anthropic’s new agentic AI release fueled fears of disintermediation and potential labor market impacts, while a US Supreme Court ruling on reciprocal tariffs added legal uncertainty and growing US–Iran tensions increased volatility toward month-end.
  • The economic backdrop continued to show signs of broadening global growth. Business surveys improved across several regions, while inflation pressures moderated further in the US, UK and Japan. This combination of steady activity and easing price dynamics supported markets, even as investors reassessed the sustainability of the current artificial intelligence investment cycle.
  • In the United States, equity markets were driven by heightened volatility among companies perceived as lagging in the AI race, alongside a clear rotation out of mega-cap technology stocks. While earnings overall remained resilient, investors grew more cautious about the disruptive implications of AI and the uncertain payback from heavy AI-related investment spending, putting pressure on leading growth stocks. The S&P 500 edged lower, with performance diverging markedly across sectors. More defensive and value-oriented areas, including materials, utilities, and energy, delivered relative outperformance.
  • In the euro area, equities moved higher, benefiting from improving activity indicators and continued disinflation. The European Central Bank kept rates unchanged, reiterating its confidence in the inflation trajectory. Sector performance reflected the global rotation, with energy and real estate outperforming, while parts of technology and financials lagged.
  • Emerging markets outperformed developed markets over the month, supported by strength in North Asian semiconductor exporters and firmer commodity prices. EM Asia delivered robust gains, driven primarily by hardware and infrastructure beneficiaries of the AI cycle, despite ongoing fragilities in China.

Performance commentary

  • In February, the fund posted a marked underperformance relative to its reference indicator.
  • The fund was hurt by sharp market moves targeting perceived “AI losers,” particularly in software and financials. Atlassian and S&P Global were among the largest detractors.
  • Doximity, a strategic healthcare partner offering purpose-built solutions to support the industry’s modernization, with more than 80% of U.S. physicians on its platform, was also impacted by these fears.
  • Most of these positions have been built in recent weeks and months on the contrarian view that the market may be too quick to judge the true winners and losers of AI.
  • Novo Nordisk was also a detractor from performance.
  • However, the very strong performance of Korea, and to a lesser extent Taiwan, provided meaningful support to overall returns.

Outlook strategy

  • While headline indices appear relatively stable, underlying dispersion is extreme. Significant winners and losers are offsetting each other, even as several large stocks remain under pressure. We expect this environment to persist.
  • The “sell first, ask questions later” dynamic has repeated over recent weeks, with a clear target: perceived “AI losers,” particularly in software.
  • We actively manage our tech exposure. While hyperscaler exposure is becoming more selective amid an AI capex arms race and rising dispersion, we maintain positions in high-quality semiconductors (including Nvidia and Asian players) as well as in software.
  • In software, we believe AI will more likely be deployed on top of existing stacks rather than replacing them. Most enterprises still lack clean, unified, “AI-ready” data, and privacy, security, and compliance challenges remain significant for third-party agents at scale.
  • Beyond tech, we aim to use corrections not driven by fundamentals to initiate new positions or reinforce existing ones.
  • We maintain meaningful exposure to financials, which benefit from several trends including a pickup in M&A activity, bond and equity volatility, and opportunities among companies wrongly perceived as AI casualties.
