Performance commentary
In April, the fund posted a negative performance, driven by our Long book. On the Technology side, our semi-conductor positions suffered from the cautious demand comments made by ASML and TSMC. On the Financials side, Adyen suffered from a 15% stock drop on the day of its earnings. The company’s solid results were overshadowed by a compression of its take rate, which exacerbated investor’s skepticism. We had a large performance contribution from our position in Prada, as Miu Miu continues on a strong growth trajectory. On the Short side, our Shorts in Nike and Lululemon continued to do well, as the demand for activewear seems to be stagnating. We also made a positive contribution from our short position in Straumann, which reported a slowdown in consumer demand for dental implants in its key US markets.Outlook strategy
The net exposure of the strategy remains in the low thirties; and our gross exposure stayed stable above 200%. As fundamentals are back at driving stock prices, we continued to reinforce our convictions on both the long and short side and our portfolio is back to a normal level of convictions. On the long side of the book, our portfolio in our Core Long book has been stable with strong convictions in Prada in the Luxury sector, Daimler in the Automotive space, IMI in the Chemicals space and several positions in the Technology sector like ASML, Hynix or SAP; as well as some defensive positions like Novo Nordisk and Deutsche Telekom. On the short side, we continue to find many new names in the Consumer, Industrials and Healthcare spaces with poor balance sheets and deteriorating fundamentals, bringing tightened margins and profit warnings. Overall, we keep strong convictions in our Core Long book and have sized up these positions accordingly. We feel the current environment is quite conducive to our conviction-led portfolio.Performance Overview

Market environment
The escalation of tension in Israel, lukewarm macroeconomic data and persistent inflation made investors very defensive in April, and global equities suffered. Higher-than-expected inflation figures pushed bond yields up further and delayed US rate cuts, which even left European investors wondering about the ECB’s own timing. Risk premia and equity volatility skyrocketed as a result, and investors’ confidence quickly evaporated. This uncertainty led to big swings on the market, which investors found difficult to manage. The technology sector hit turbulence after ASML and TSMC reversed the trend for microprocessor companies by suggesting that demand may keep slowing for longer than expected.
