Performance commentary
- Against this backdrop, the fund delivered a positive performance for the month of October.- Nvidia rose sharply, buoyed by comments from its supplier TSMC regarding the growing demand for artificial intelligence chips, and the investment prospects of its main customers (Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta and Amazon).- Alphabet and Amazon also reported satisfactory results. Alphabet benefited from its cloud activities and from increased subscriptions to YouTube and Google One, while Amazon saw its cost-cutting efforts bear fruit and materialise in the financial statements.- However, we were penalised by our healthcare stocks, in particular Elevance and Centene. Elevance saw its share price fall as a result of the downward revision of its annual forecasts, caused by the increase in costs linked to the Medicaid healthcare programme. Centene experienced some turbulence on the stock market, but this did not affect its long-term prospects.- Finally, our hedges on the equities markets supported the fund's performance, but were slightly penalised by our tactical management of the dollar.
Outlook strategy
- While we agree that consensus EPS growth expectations are overly optimistic, the economic conditions are robust enough to prevent an earnings collapse justifying a constructive view on equities.
- The portfolio combines stocks with high earnings and relatively high valuations on one side, and stocks with lower growth but high visibility and attractive valuations on the other.
- TSMC is the largest holding in our fund. The shares offer a unique combination of an attractive cyclical backdrop—characterized by under-shipping demand—valuation in line with the 5-year average, and being a key beneficiary of AI advancements.
- Despite strong fundamentals, tech stocks have underperformed since their peak in July, now presenting more attractive valuations. Demand for AI remains robust, with clear signs of accelerating revenues from AI-related activities. We have reinforced our positions in undervalued stocks.
- We are gradually increasing our exposure to small and mid-cap companies, which provides an excellent opportunity to diversify our portfolio. Among these, Elite Material, a Taiwanese company specializing in the production of copper-clad laminates.
- Carmignac Investissement Latitude continues to actively manage the Fund's equities exposure, which currently stands at around 30% to 40%.
- In terms of currencies, we continue to actively manage the euro/dollar parity.

I always strive to fully exploit the Fund’s dynamic nature. The return of inflation is the return of the economic cycle where truly active management will stand out even more as the recent years have shown.
