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

  • Activity remained resilient, particularly in the US. Q2 GDP grew 1.5% annualised, while private domestic demand rose a stronger 4.2%. The labour market softened, with July payrolls down 23,000 and unemployment at 4.1%, while inflation eased only marginally to 3.4%. In the euro area, Q2 GDP grew 0.4% QoQ, while August inflation rose to 3.3%, mainly on higher energy prices.
  • At Jackson Hole, Chair Warsh struck a hawkish tone, stressing that the economy remains resilient, financial conditions are not restrictive, and inflation has yet to improve sufficiently.
  • Global equities reaching new highs on resilient macro data, strong earnings and a recovery in AI/semis stocks.
  • Emerging markets outperformed developed markets, led by a strong rebound in Taiwan and Korea as semiconductor and AI-related stocks recovered from their June–July sell-off. Japan also performed strongly, while Europe lagged because of its lower Technology exposure and greater sensitivity to energy volatility.
  • The US dollar weakened, pressured by higher fiscal and policy risk premia and renewed concerns around currency debasement. Against this backdrop, gold a were among the strongest-performing assets.
  • Oil remained volatile but broadly unchanged, as persistent tensions between the US and Iran supported prices, while broader supply and demand dynamics limited the upside.

Performance commentary

  • Against this backdrop, Carmignac Investissement Latitude delivered a positive absolute and relative performance over the month, supported by the strong contribution from its master fund, Carmignac Investissement.
  • Within the master fund, technology remained the main performance driver. Asian AI-related holdings rebounded following the sharp correction seen in June and July, with Asia Vital Components, Nitto Boseki and SK Hynix among the main contributors. Atlassian was also a significant contributor, rebounding strongly after reassuring results and guidance helped ease concerns over the potential disruption from generative AI to its business model.
  • Outside technology, financial infrastructure and payments also supported performance, notably through Tradeweb, S&P Global and Adyen, while Doximity and Cencora contributed positively within healthcare. Conversely, Broadcom, Alphabet and Amazon detracted over the month, as investors remained focused on elevated AI-related capital expenditure and its potential impact on future free cash flow generation.
  • Finally, the Fund’s equity hedging strategies generated a modest negative contribution as markets advanced during the month. However, this drag remained limited and had only a marginal impact on overall performance, allowing the Fund to retain most of the upside captured through its exposure to the master fund.

Outlook strategy

  • Constructive but cautious on equities: Corporate earnings remain resilient and the AI investment cycle continues to support global activity, particularly in the US and Asia. However, elevated valuations and persistently high interest rates leave equity markets more vulnerable to disappointments. Kevin Warsh’s more hawkish tone has reinforced the risk that monetary policy remains restrictive for longer, supporting our decision to maintain a moderate net equity exposure while preserving flexibility to adjust hedges quickly.
  • Inflation remains a key market risk: The conflict with Iran and potential disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz could trigger renewed energy-price pressures. Oil prices have so far been partly contained by China drawing on strategic reserves, but the key uncertainty is how long this buffer can last. A renewed rise in oil prices could push inflation expectations and bond yields higher, creating additional pressure on equity valuations.
  • Several catalysts could drive volatility into year-end: US fiscal concerns, elevated Treasury yields and the upcoming midterm elections could generate further market swings, while uncertainty around the sustainability and returns of massive AI capex remains an important risk for US mega-cap equities.
  • Against this backdrop, we maintain a flexible and relatively cautious equity positioning, while keeping a large part of the Fund’s US dollar exposure hedged.
