Market environment

  • US equities were down as Trump policy caused confusion around tariffs. DOGE cuts and immigration added to uncertainty amid recent weakness in incoming data.
  • European and Chinese equities were a bright spot though as they managed to deliver positive returns even as Trump’s aggressive tariff stance towards the month end shaved off some performance.
  • Investors are pulling back from the AI-related mania that has dominated the last two years. Even stellar earnings from industry leaders like Nvidia have failed to lift equity markets. This retreat is fuelled by a mix of factors, including new LLM models, rising competition from China, fears of looming tariffs, escalating geopolitical tensions, overextended market positions & valuations, and high expectations for company earnings.
  • The S&P 500 reported growth in earnings of 17.8% - the highest growth since Q4 2024.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month of February, the fund had a slightly negative return in absolute terms, but outperformed its reference indicator in relative terms
  • Our stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Technology sectors were our largest contributors. Lenovo, Sony and Cisco were among our largest contributors over the month.
  • While we saw a pickup in performance among consumer staple names over the month, our overweight to the sector was beneficial, and our holdings such as Costco, Nestle and Colgate Palmolive were positive contributors to the fund.

Outlook strategy

  • In February, we added slightly to Salesforce in the US software space and Nestle in the consumer staples sector
  • We continued to reduce our weight in TSMC, which we started the previous month.
  • Over the month we exited Hyundai in order to reduce our exposure to consumer discretionary names given the weakening consumer data. We also exited our position in Adobe on the basis of a deteriorating CHX score.
  • On the other hand we added two new names. Sherwin Williams in the materials sector who are the largest global coatings company demonstrating a strong consumer score and resilient growth prospects, as well as Michelin in the auto parts sector which benefits from its strong brand image and best in class CHX score.
  • We remain cautious in positioning our portfolio and continue to focus on quality, less cyclical companies.

The social theme is one of the most disregarded areas within ESG. Yet we believe that companies providing positive experiences to both their customers and employees are better positioned to achieve superior returns over the long run.
