Market environment

  • In May, we observed stronger macro data with Eurozone PMI, US PMI higher and improved consumer confidence in the US.
  • This was followed by the Euro area core CPI inflation which accelerated for the first time since June last year to 2.9, potentially pushing delaying rate cuts that were expected at the June meeting.

Performance commentary

  • During the month of May, the Fund recorded a positive absolute performance though below its reference indicator.
  • The underperformance versus the benchmark last month is mainly due to the value rotation and the rally in Banks, sector we do not invest in our portfolio, and which continued to perform well.
  • Alcon has been the best performer in the fund after strong response to good results, with sales growth broadly spread across the business with particularly strong growth in contact lenses.
  • At the sector level, our positions in Industrials was the biggest drivers of performance over the month with Schneider Electric being one of the main contributors.
  • Having no exposure to Communication Services penalised the Fund while, on the contrary, having no exposure to Energy has been supportive.

Outlook strategy

  • The Fund continues to rely on bottom-up fundamental analysis with a medium term horizon.
  • We anticipate that as economic growth slows down and inflation is nearing the 2% target, the ECB will start to gradually cut the interest rates.
  • During the month we have increased our exposure and thus have made several adjustments to our portfolio amidst a volatile period with different prints of macro data.
  • We took some profits in Alcon post strong results and we also started to re-increase our position in Genmab ahead of forthcoming data on their pipeline product.
  • The Fund maintains a natural stance towards high quality and more defensive companies and the potential for greater visibility in the market is expected to yield favourable outcomes.
