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.

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

  • Over the month of April, the fund had a positive absolute performance but lagged its index, primarily driven by an overall decline across our software names on the back of fears of AI disruption.
  • Within these names that suffered most, Servicenow, delivered strong Q1 earnings, but suffered from the AI agent features upsell still being at early deployment phases. Accenture still suffers from AI cannibalisation fears as well as potential revenue growth decelerating on he back of corporate clients pausing large scale IT transformation projects amid geopolitical uncertainty.
  • Our stock selection also suffered in consumer staples sector which in a risk on market was unable to keep up with AI themed market moves.
  • Nevertheless, our AI related stocks, namely Alphabet, Amazon, TSMC and Samsung were able to keep our performance stable over the month.

Outlook strategy

  • We did a few changes to the portfolio over the month of April. We sold out of our holding in Atlassian and added to Unilever and Colgate Palmolive on weakness.
  • We remain cautious in positioning our portfolio and continue to focus on higher quality companies.
