Market environment

  • The equity markets experienced a volatile month in August 2024: despite the ferocity and depth of the sell-off in early August, equity markets were quick to recover, with many indices back at their previous highs at the end of the month.

  • Several forces triggered the sell-off in early August, including weak US macro data which exacerbated expectations for rate cuts, the implosion of the Yen carry trade as well as other technical market factors.

  • The month was also marked by the earnings season during which elevated market volatility in response to a few Q2 reports were masking the reality of better-than-expected earnings season.

  • At the end of the month, all eyes were on Nvidia ‘s earnings report which revealed earnings that fell short of expectations, even though revenue more than doubled in the last quarter.

  • Overall, August saw a "defensive" sector rotation with utilities, staples, healthcare outperforming.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month of August, the fund delivered a negative return in absolute terms and underperformed its benchmark.
  • Although our overweight to consumer staples and stock selection in consumer discretionary had a positive effect on our overall performance, our slight overweight to the tech sector hurt us the most.
  • In the tech sector Samsung, Lenovo, Microsoft, Intuit and Salesforce were among our portfolios largest detractors.
  • We saw a few bright spots in the Healthcare sector with stocks like Novo Nordisk and Roche being among our largest contributors.

Outlook strategy

  • Over the month of August, we did not initiate any new positions, but continued building our position in UBS.
  • we reduced some of our weights in Sony, Hilton and Marriott and took some profits in Novo Nordisk and Roche.
  • We remain cautious in positioning our portfolio and continue to focus on quality, less cyclical 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.
