Market environment

April was a difficult month for equities and bonds due to higher-than-anticipated US inflation and persistently solid growth. This led the markets to lower their expectations of imminent rate cuts at the Federal Reserve, pushing up bond yields and pressurising share prices. The month also brought announcements of Q1 results. Although most companies beat forecasts, the markets were more willing than usual to punish those who fell short. Investors are trying to decide whether earnings growth justifies the rise in prices over the last six months. European equities have held up better than their US peers, benefitting from brighter growth prospects and a less worrisome inflation trend. However, Japanese equities underwent a correction after posting gains in each of the five previous months. The wider spread between the interest rates of Japan and other developed countries exerted downside pressure on the yen and raised concerns about the effect of imported inflation on domestic demand. Chinese equities rallied strongly, brought to life initially by government stimulus, then a slight improvement in sentiment and their particularly attractive valuations.

Performance commentary

The Fund delivered a negative performance, in line with its reference indicator. In a break from the trend seen in recent months, technology stocks weighed heaviest on the Fund. Companies involved in artificial intelligence such as Microsoft, AMD and ASML, which are among our strongest convictions in this industry, were the most costly. ASML’s disappointing results, especially regarding semiconductor growth forecasts, led to a notable correction. These companies’ exceptional performance over recent months created a dizzying level of expectation among investors, making it all the more important for results to justify some high valuations. However, we remain convinced about the long-term opportunity presented by semiconductors, and are keeping significant exposure to this industry. Away from technology, the Fund’s most defensive positions performed well, especially in the consumer sector where the likes of Colgate, P&G and L'Oréal made substantial contributions.

Outlook strategy

We took advantage of the market’s recent correction to reallocate some of our investments to businesses that had been particularly shaken, like ASML. We also opened two new positions in healthcare. One of these was Vertex Pharmaceuticals, a US biotech laboratory specialised in cystic fibrosis. It enjoys solid fundamentals, is a leader on its market, and has some promising new opportunities in the pipeline. The other new addition was United Health, the world’s biggest medical insurance company, which is a leader for nearly all of the services that it provides. The company has a skilled management team, strong track record, and ambitious growth targets of around 13% to 16%.
