Carmignac Portfolio Long-Short European Equities fund performance
Take a look at the Fund's performance supported by our Fund managers’ market commentary and strategy insight.Our monthly comments
Data as of: 30 Aug 2024.Performance commentary
- In August, the fund posted a positive performance, driven by our Short book.
- We managed the early August market selloff well thanks to our defensive positioning and the strategy was positive during the week of the selloff.
- Our Long book suffered from the softness in China with Prada coming down on no stock specific news and the AI theme / momentum trade, where our positions in Amazon and SK Hynix suffered.
- Our Trading Longs performed well thanks to its defensiveness and some positions, like Deutsche Telekom, have strong short-term catalysts driving the stock price.
- On the Short side, we benefited from the weakness in momentum stocks as we had built a strong exposure in the Technology sector.
- Our Capital Goods Short exposure also contributed to performance as the outlook remains muted with weak top-down macro data, limited end market momentum and the increased references to delays in CAPEX decisions.
Outlook strategy
- The net exposure of the strategy stayed in the 20s throughout the month; and our gross exposure is in the 150-160% range.
- On the long side of the book, we took advantage of the selloff to re-enter some of the AI themed positions like Meta and TSMC, as we continue to see strong structural drivers for the theme.
- On the short side, we continue to find many new names in the Consumer, Industrials and Technology spaces with poor balance sheets and deteriorating fundamentals, bringing tightened margins and profit warnings.
- Overall, we are staying cautious as we expect the current volatile environment to continue throughout September.
