Performance commentary
During the month of April, the Fund recorded a negative absolute and relative performance. Notably, the Technology and Healthcare sectors were the biggest detractors. Evotec, a small cap healthcare contract research organization has been one of the biggest detractors during the month, due to a downgrade in its medium-term prospects, thus we decided to sell off a majority of our holdings. However, our positions in Consumer Discretionary and Industrials were the biggest drivers of performance over the month. Adidas was among the best three performers after announcing better-than-expected result in the first quarter of 2024 with sales up, driven by growth in all regions except North America. In the Industrials sector, Schneider Electric, specializing in the energy management and industrial automation businesses around the world also contributed positively to our portfolio.. Having no exposure to Energy penalised the Fund marginally while, on the contrary, having no exposure to Communication Services has been supportive.Outlook strategy
During the month of April, we have made several adjustments to our portfolio amidst a period of busy corporate results which have been mixed. We made the decision to significantly increase our investment in ASML following the release of their results, partially offsetting this by reducing our holdings in the less liquid company ASM International, which experienced a 20% increase after posting results last month. We increased our exposure to Financials by making modest additions to Nordnet after their strong financial results as they continue to expand their presence in the Nordic region. We also added to our Consumer discretionary exposure as we continued to increase our holdings in Hermes, position that we initiated at the end of January. The Fund continues to rely on bottom-up fundamental analysis with a medium term horizon. Our perspective remains cautious of the potential impact of weaker corporate and economic data. We remain open to the possibility of a cyclical recovery and are actively exploring opportunities to incorporate cyclicality into our investment strategy. However, we have not made any significant changes in this regard at this time. The potential for greater visibility in the market is expected to yield favourable outcomes. We anticipate that as economic growth slows down, inflation will also decrease, leading to a gradual decline in interest rates.Performance Overview

Market environment
April was a challenging month for risk assets, driven by a combination of escalating tensions in the Middle East, mixed macro data, and sticky inflation. These factors led to a risk-off environment, causing global equities to suffer. The unexpected strength in inflation data further pushed up bond yields and delayed anticipated rate cuts in the US, leading European investors to question the pace of ECB rate cuts. Consequently, equity risk premia and volatility increased, eroding investor confidence. The market environment during this period was highly rotational with value outperformed growth, defensives outperformed cyclicals, while at the sector level market leadership was extremely narrow with basic resources, oil and banks being the standout performers, while most other sectors underperformed. Despite the overall challenges, European equities outperformed their US counterparts. The eurozone's flash composite PMI, a measure of economic activity, rose to 51.4 in April, significantly higher than the recessionary level of 47.6 recorded in December. This improvement in growth prospects and inflation dynamics partially offset the headwinds of higher interest rates and geopolitical risks in the region.
