Market environment

  • In the US, the economy is slowly paving the way for a soft landing, with job creation and retail sales easing over the month. At the same time, inflation continued to trend lower. In Europe, growth surprised to the upside at +0.3% in the second quarter, while inflation picked up slightly.

  • As expected, the Fed left short-term rates unchanged during their July meeting. However, the combination of a less dynamic job growth and lower inflation sets the stage for the Fed to potentially lower rates in September.

  • The Bank of Japan raised interest rates for the first time in 15 years and unveiled a detailed plan to slow its massive bond buying, taking another step towards normalization.

  • In July, political volatility came from the US. Trump survived an assassination attempt, Biden ended his 2024 candidacy, and Harris' nomination boosted Democrats' standing in the polls, hinting at a closely contested election.

  • Equity market underwent a significant rotation during the month, with small cap and value stocks performing well and outperforming mega cap and growth stocks.

  • The Q2 earnings season has started and brought a mix of both positive and negative surprises, leading to increased market volatility. In summary, the results have been strong on EPS beats but weak on sales. Tech sectors have raised concerns after some disappointment about the pace and timing of AI revenue.

Performance commentary

  • Our Fund delivered a positive performance in both absolute and relative terms in July.
  • Our overweight to industrials and stock selection in the sector were the largest contributors to performance. Old Dominion Freight, Watts Water Technology, SS&C Technologies and Cintas were among biggest stock contributors.
  • while tech stocks suffered over the month of July, our large underweight to the sector benefitted our relative performance.
  • Stock selection in financials (Brown & Brown) and healthcare (Roche, Danaher, Essilor) also supported our performance over the month.

Outlook strategy

  • During July, we made no changes to our portfolio.
  • In the current market environment, we remain cautious in our portfolio positioning and continue to focus on less cyclical family-owned companies.
  • We continue to believe that the resilience that comes from investing in quality family and founder-owned businesses will be the key strength of our strategy going forward.
