Performance commentary
The Fund's performance was nearly flat, falling short of its reference indicator due to sector rotation.
Two of our biggest convictions, Novo Nordisk and Microsoft, underperformed due to external factors such as Roche entering the obesity segment and the negative impact of the CrowdStrike cyber-panic.
On the other hand, our convictions in the Healthcare sector, particularly in life sciences companies like Lonza and Thermo Fischer, performed well.
Our convictions in the Financial sector, such as ICE or S&P Global and Mastercard, experienced strong performance, with returns in the range of +4% to +10%.
Outlook strategy
Our macro-overlay framework continues to indicate a defensive stance towards equity markets, aligning with our cautious macroeconomic outlook.
In line with this perspective, we have increased the defensive bias of the portfolio in recent months and are comfortable with our current positioning.
Colgate Palmolive and Procter & Gamble delivered solid results over the last 6 months, surpassing expectations. We have gradually increased our exposure to these stocks, and they now rank among the top 3 holdings of the fund, alongside Microsoft.
We significantly reduced our exposure to Semiconductors and Nvidia in particular. We decided to take some profits after strong YTD performance’ with a view to adding back on momentum reversal.

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.

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.
