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.

Performance commentary
- During the month of October, the Fund recorded a negative absolute performance, below its reference indicator.
- Our holding in Argenx has been the best performer in the fund after the biotech firm reported third-quarter sales for its key drug Vyvgart that exceeded market expectations.
- Our biggest detractor this month has been ASML, a key player in Europe's tech scene known for its lithography tools in chipmaking. The company reported a significant drop in its order book forecast for 2025.
- Having no exposure to Communication Services and Energy sectors has not been supportive during the month.
Outlook strategy
- During the month, our portfolio remained relatively stable with only a few adjustments. We decided to completely sell our small holding in Edenred following their disappointing quarterly results.
- Additionally, we reduced our position in L’Oreal after the company reported weaker than expected third-quarter sales, primarily due to waning demand for skincare and make-up in the Chinese market.
- We also made a marginal reduction in our holdings of ArgenX, despite the biotech firm reporting third-quarter sales for its key drug Vyvgart that exceeded market expectations.
- On the other hand, we initiated a new position in the skincare company Galderma and we continued to add to Ferrari, a position that we recently initiated.
- 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.
