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.

In December, Europe traded down around 0.5% for the month, with most of this decline occurring towards the end due to a hawkish Fed outlook for 2025, which impacted markets.
Europe’s largest company, Novo Nordisk, also disappointed the market towards the end of the month, further affecting the wider market.
The optimism generated in November by Trump's victory in the US elections has faded, with investors turning their attention to the impact of possible US tariffs and to the question of whether the Franco-German motor of the European Union will stall.
Performance commentary
During the month of December, the Fund recorded a slightly negative absolute performance, above its reference indicator.
Hermes has been the fund's top performer this month, driven by sell-side analysts' positive outlook on its resilient business model and high brand desirability.
Galderma, a recent addition to our portfolio, has also contributed to the Fund's performance. The company is poised to benefit from the early success of its newly approved atopic dermatitis treatment in the US.
Our biggest detractors this month has been Novo Nordisk whose shares experienced a significant decline on December 20th following disappointing results from tests of its latest obesity drug, CagriSema.
Despite this setback, CagriSema remains a valuable addition to Novo Nordisk's obesity product range and competes directly with Eli Lilly’s Zepbound
Having no exposure to Communication Services and Energy sectors has been supportive during the month.
Outlook strategy
During the month, our portfolio remained relatively stable without any major changes.
We decided to take some profits in a few names that have performed well recently, particularly our Financials holdings such as Euronext and Deutsche Borse.
On the other hand, we took advantage of the significant drop to increase our position in Novo Nordisk as our conviction didn’t significantly change.
The Fund continues to rely on bottom-up fundamental analysis with a medium-long term horizon.
We stick to our process of focusing on profitable companies with high returns on capital, reinvesting for growth and maintain our focus on stocks and sectors with strong visibility on sales and profits.
