Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Performances are net of fees (excluding possible entrance fees charged by the distributor). The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) 2019/2088 is a European regulation that requires asset managers to classify their funds as either 'Article 8' funds, which promote environmental and social characteristics, 'Article 9' funds, which make sustainable investments with measurable objectives, or 'Article 6' funds, which do not necessarily have a sustainability objective. For more information please refer to https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2019/2088/oj.
Major indices reached all-time highs during the month, driven by monetary easing from central banks.
Chinese equities surged towards the end of the period as Beijing's stimulus measures boosted optimism about the recovery of the world's second-largest economy. These measures aim to counter monetary contraction, address the collapse in the property market, and revive the struggling stock market.
The Federal Reserve initiated its easing cycle with an aggressive 50 basis point cut in its key rate, while the European Central Bank continued to reduce its key rates by 25 basis points.
Economic indicators in the United States remain robust, with rising retail sales and industrial production, a mixed but solid employment market, and falling inflation. In contrast, economic activity in the eurozone has been more lackluster.
Performance commentary
Although the fund delivered positive returns in absolute terms, it underperformed its benchmark over the month of September.
Our overweight to IT and Consumer Staples was the main contributor to this underperformance. Samsung, Adobe and Intuit in the IT sector were a drag relative to our positions in Lenovo and Microsoft which supported our returns. Similarly, our Staples positions in Colgate-Palmolive, Nestle and Costco were among the largest stock detractors over the month.
Despite an underweight to Healthcare which supported our performance during the month, positions in Novo Nordisk and Roche did not support our outperformance.
Outlook strategy
Over the month of September, we initiated new positions in Experian, Beiersdorf and Oracle, all three have a top quartile CHX score.
We reduced some of our weights more cyclical names such as TSMC, Nvidia and LVMH and took some profit on Novo Nordisk.
We remain cautious in positioning our portfolio and continue to focus on quality, less cyclical companies.
