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.
October was a volatile month for markets, with equities (in local currencies) moving lower after a strong rally since the beginning of the year.
The equity correction occurred despite robust economic data in the US, including strong consumption and employment figures. Inflation data further complicated the situation, with September’s core CPI coming in hotter than expected.
The third-quarter earnings season kicked off with strong results from the banking sector. However, guidance from tech companies was more mixed, contributing to market volatility.
Chinese equities experienced a significant rally at the start of the month in response to government stimulus measures. However, the momentum waned later due to a lack of detailed information regarding fiscal stimulus.
Performance commentary
The fund underperformed its performance indicator over the month.- The fund suffered from the underperformance of the most defensive sectors, such as healthcare and consumer staples.- The fund was also affected by the results season, with some of our holdings being penalized.- Microsoft, the fund's largest holding, reported solid results but provided a disappointing outlook for its cloud business, which weighed on the share price. - Similarly, ASML, a position we trimmed the past few months, declined following an earnings warning, as did Thermo Fisher, which announced a drop in third-quarter sales.- On a positive note, most of our technology stocks performed well. Nvidia, which we re-increased recently, along with Ansys and Cadence Design, showed strong performance.
Outlook strategy
Quality cyclical stocks have shown better performance in recent weeks, buoyed by optimism that growth is more resilient than expected.- In light of company results, we remain cautious and are maintaining our current positioning. We favor defensive-quality companies against the backdrop of a global economic slowdown and deteriorating corporate margins. - Consequently, we have made few changes to the portfolio this month, with only a slight increase in our exposure to technology stocks. - As a result, Nvidia has returned to the fund's top three holdings.
