Carmignac Portfolio Grande Europe 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

  • At the beginning of November, the Republicans achieved a sweeping victory in the US elections, securing control of both the White House and the Senate.
  • The initial response from the equity markets has been one of enthusiasm, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reaching new all-time highs.
  • In Europe, there is significant concern about the potential for higher tariffs. The President-elect has been outspoken about what he views as unfair trade practices, especially in the automotive and chemicals sectors.

Performance commentary

  • During the month of November, the Fund recorded a positive absolute performance, above its reference indicator.
  • Our holding in Argenx has been once again the best performer in the fund. In October the biotech firm reported third-quarter sales for its key drug Vyvgart that exceeded market expectations.
  • In November, they announced that they will proceed with developing its experimental drug to treat idiopathic inflammatory myopathies after strong data from phase 2 results.
  • Our biggest detractors this month have been L’Oreal and Zealand Pharma. The Healthcare company dropped after the Q3 results and nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to run the Department of Health and Human Services.
  • Having no exposure to Communication Services and Energy sectors has not been supportive during the month.

Outlook strategy

  • During the month, our portfolio remained relatively stable without any major changes after a quiet end of the month owing to the Thanksgiving in the US.
  • We decided to reduce our holdings in Deutsche Boerse and Lonza post the strong run year to date.
  • We also reduced our position in Novo Nordisk which slightly recovered since its lows after the Biden administration proposed a rule that would require the US government to cover weight-loss drugs through the Medicare and Medicaid systems.
  • On the other hand, we continued adding to Galderma, a position in the skincare area that we initiated a month ago.
  • The Fund continues to rely on bottom-up fundamental analysis with a medium-long term horizon.
  • We stick to our process of focusing on profitable companies with high returns on capital, reinvesting for growth and maintain our focus on stocks and sectors with strong visibility on sales and profits.
