Carmignac Investissement Latitude: Letter from the Fund Manager - Q3 2026
During the third quarter of 2026, Carmignac Investissement Latitude returned +2.6%, outperforming its reference indicator, which gained +1.4%.
Market environment
In the third quarter of 2026, global equity markets and sovereign bond markets followed contrasting paths. Equities generally advanced, supported by resilient economic activity and solid corporate earnings. Sovereign bonds, by contrast, came under significant pressure, as persistent inflation, high levels of public debt and stronger-than-expected growth drove a marked rise in yields.
In equity markets, earnings momentum remained supportive, particularly in the United States and emerging markets. Artificial intelligence (AI) continued to play a central role, although market leadership was less stable than in the first half of the year. Following a correction in semiconductors and Asian AI infrastructure-related stocks early in the quarter, momentum gradually broadened to hyperscalers and software companies. More broadly, rotations between growth stocks, defensive sectors and value names became increasingly frequent.
Beyond equity markets, the macroeconomic effects of the AI investment wave became increasingly visible. The scale of spending is supporting economic activity, but is also driving additional demand for energy, infrastructure, semiconductors and metals, adding to certain inflationary pressures.
Finally, geopolitical tensions returned to the forefront. The ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East kept oil and gas prices elevated, reigniting inflation concerns. Against this backdrop, major central banks maintained a restrictive policy stance, contributing to higher real interest rates and bond yields.
How did we fare in this context?
In the third quarter, Carmignac Investissement Latitude outperformed its reference indicator, benefiting primarily from the strong performance of its master fund, Carmignac Investissement, whose stock selection continued to add value in an environment characterised by frequent market rotations.
Technology remained an important performance driver, particularly through companies exposed to AI infrastructure, while diversification into selected areas of healthcare and financials also contributed positively.
Conversely, the management of the Fund’s equity exposure detracted from performance. Against a backdrop of rising inflation, higher bond yields and geopolitical risks, we maintained a more cautious stance through hedges on US and emerging market equity indices. These hedges weighed on returns as equity markets continued to advance, supported by resilient economic activity and solid corporate earnings despite tighter financial conditions.
Finally, our US dollar hedges also detracted from performance, as the currency appreciated against the euro over the quarter.
Outlook
The main risk for markets today, in our view, lies in persistent upward pressure on sovereign yields, at a time when questions surrounding AI are becoming more prominent. Strong investment activity, rising financing needs from both governments and corporates, and still-elevated inflation could keep bond yields at high levels. At the same time, the scale of spending committed by hyperscalers is raising increasing questions about the future profitability of these investments. The combination of high interest rates and lower visibility on returns on capital could therefore weigh on the most highly valued segments of the equity market.
Within our master fund, Carmignac Investissement, we continue to favour companies that directly benefit from investment in AI rather than those that bear the cost of it. This approach leads us in particular to focus on bottlenecks across the value chain – in semiconductors, memory and infrastructure, including cooling solutions and equipment – while further diversifying the portfolio towards opportunities in financials, healthcare and industrials. The objective is to retain exposure to the long-term potential of AI while reducing the portfolio’s dependence on a single market driver.
While equity markets continue to benefit from solid corporate earnings growth and could also receive support from fiscal measures in the United States, persistent inflationary pressures and greater volatility in technology stocks could make the environment more uncertain. We are therefore maintaining a measured approach, with hedges in place on developed and emerging market equity indices. Our management of equity exposure thus remains active and flexible, evolving in line with market conditions.
