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
Against this backdrop, the fund delivered a negative performance in August, below its reference indicator.- Our technology allocation disappointed over the month, due to sector rotation and fears about the short-term benefits of artificial intelligence. In this respect, Amazon, Samsung Electronics, Microsoft and SK Hynix fell back.- Our portfolio of healthcare stocks supported the strategy over the period. Eli Lilly published encouraging results for its tirzepatide treatment, and posted strong financial results, enabling the stock to appreciate considerably on the stock market. Novo Nordisk and Veeva System also made positive contributions to performance.- The oil company Schlumberger saw its share price deteriorate, impacted by economic uncertainties and oil price fluctuations.
Outlook strategy
A slowing US economy, ongoing inflation deceleration, and accommodative central banks should continue to fuel a favorable environment for equities. However, recent market reactions over the summer have shown that optimism is waning, and political situations could lead to more volatility towards the end of the year.
For these reasons, we have strategically reduced the Beta of our portfolio, increased the average market capitalization, and improved financial metrics such as the balance sheet and growth rate. This has resulted in a more resilient portfolio that is better prepared to withstand challenging market conditions.
We identify promising long-term trends, particularly in technology, healthcare, infrastructure and consumer goods.
We are pursuing our strategy of diversifying the portfolio by investing across the value chain, to capture opportunities in large caps as well as small and mid-caps.
