Market environment

  • In March, European markets experienced a challenging period, with indices declining by 4%, particularly in economically sensitive sectors such as Industrials, Chemicals, Technology, and Healthcare.
  • Germany's fiscal stimulus measures, including a €500 billion infrastructure investment fund, provided substantial support to European markets.
  • However, the market narrative was dominated by tariff developments, with auto tariffs being confirmed in the last week of the month. Additionally, the market is preparing for the possibility of further tariffs from the Trump administration.
  • We expect these developments to act as a pivotal moment for the market, especially for stocks with significant international exposure and sales.

Performance commentary

  • In March, the fund registered a negative performance in both absolute and relative terms.
  • This underperformance was primarily driven by a notable shift in investor sentiment from growth stocks.
  • Our selection of stocks in the Financials sector contributed positively to the fund's performance. Notably, Deutsche Börse and Euronext demonstrated resilience to market volatility and performed well during the month.
  • However, the main detractors were stocks in the Healthcare and Information Technology sectors.
  • Novo Nordisk was the biggest detractor, as the growth rate for its obesity drug stalled, fuelling investor concerns about its sales guidance during the Q1 results.

Outlook strategy

  • During the month, we made some adjustments to our portfolio by initiating a new position in the Fund.
  • Throughout the month, we continued to enhance our exposure to Industrials by increasing our holdings in Schneider Electric but also Prysmian and Kingspan, which we recently initiated.
  • We started a small position in IMCD, a high-quality chemical distribution company that we have previously owned.
  • The stock has significantly derated in recent years due to rising bond yields, and we anticipate it will perform well in the current market environment.
  • Conversely, we reduced our positions in Euronext, Deutsche Börse, and Elis, which have performed well recently.
  • The Fund continues to rely on bottom-up fundamental analysis with a medium-long term horizon.
  • We continue to stick to our philosophy and believe that this is a great opportunity for our investors to gain access to a range of Europe’s best companies at attractive entry valuations.
