Carmignac Portfolio Investissement fund performance

Take a look at the Fund's performance supported by our Fund managers’ market commentary and strategy insight.

Our monthly comments

Market environment

  • 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

Against this backdrop, the fund posted a slightly positive performance, in line with its reference indicator.Nvidia rose sharply, buoyed by comments from its supplier TSMC regarding the growing demand for artificial intelligence chips, and the investment prospects of its main customers (Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta and Amazon).Alphabet and Amazon also reported satisfactory results. Alphabet benefited from its cloud activities and from increased subscriptions to YouTube and Google One, while Amazon saw its cost-cutting efforts bear fruit and materialise in the financial statements.However, we were penalised by our healthcare stocks, in particular Elevance and Centene. Elevance saw its share price fall as a result of the downward revision of its annual forecasts, caused by the increase in costs linked to the Medicaid healthcare programme. Centene experienced some turbulence on the stock market, but this did not affect its long-term prospects.

Outlook strategy

  • While we agree that consensus EPS growth expectations are overly optimistic, the economic conditions are robust enough to prevent an earnings collapse justifying a constructive view on equities.
  • The portfolio combines stocks with high earnings and relatively high valuations on one side, and stocks with lower growth but high visibility and attractive valuations on the other.
  • TSMC is the largest holding in our fund. The shares offer a unique combination of an attractive cyclical backdrop—characterized by under-shipping demand—valuation in line with the 5-year average, and being a key beneficiary of AI advancements.
  • Despite strong fundamentals, tech stocks have underperformed since their peak in July, now presenting more attractive valuations. Demand for AI remains robust, with clear signs of accelerating revenues from AI-related activities. We have reinforced our positions in undervalued stocks.
  • We are gradually increasing our exposure to small and mid-cap companies, which provides an excellent opportunity to diversify our portfolio. Among these, Elite Material, a Taiwanese company specializing in the production of copper-clad laminates.
