Healthcare was among the best-performing sectors, after we increased its weight to nearly 20 percent in recent months. Merck, Eli Lilly and Roche delivered particularly strong results.
Among the main detractors were some major tech names, including Nvidia and Microsoft.
We are starting to see early signs of sector rotation: our higher exposure to healthcare, compared with the benchmark, is beginning to support performance.
The portfolio positioning remains defensive. Geographically, we are exposed 10 percent to China, 65 percent to the US and 25 percent to Europe, focusing on leading companies trading at attractive valuations. Overall, the portfolio trades at a 35 percent valuation discount versus the market.
On the currency side, the US dollar exposure (65 percent of the portfolio) remains fully unhedged.
