Market environment

  • October was a volatile month for markets, with equities (in local currencies) moving lower after a strong rally since the beginning of the year.
  • The equity correction occurred despite robust economic data in the US, including strong consumption and employment figures. Inflation data further complicated the situation, with September’s core CPI coming in hotter than expected.
  • The third-quarter earnings season kicked off with strong results from the banking sector. However, guidance from tech companies was more mixed, contributing to market volatility.
  • Chinese equities experienced a significant rally at the start of the month in response to government stimulus measures. However, the momentum waned later due to a lack of detailed information regarding fiscal stimulus.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month of October the fund had a negative absolute return while the index showed a slightly positive return.
  • Our overweight to Consumer Staples was the main contributor to this underperformance. L’Oreal, Colgate-Palmolive and Diageo were among the largest detractors over the month. Despite names like Colgate-Palmolive reporting good numbers for the third quarter, staple names did not perform in line with results.
  • While we were underweight healthcare, our positions in Danaher and Roche were hurt as market performance over the month primarily came from the Energy and Financial sectors.

Outlook strategy

  • Over the month of September, we initiated a new position in Apple which has a strong CHX score.
  • We continued reducing our position in Novo Nordisk and sold out of the stock during the month. Garming was also a position we exited over the month of October as the score deteriorated over the past few months.
  • 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.
