Investment objective

Pharus Sicav Conservative is a prudently oriented balanced sub-fund that aims to provide a conservative level of income designed to increase capital over the medium to long term. The strategy features a conservative portfolio allocation, characterized by an equity component that can range from 20 percent to 40 percent depending on the stage of the market valuation cycle and is invested in leading companies with high returns on capital that trade at a discount to fundamentals. The remainder of the portfolio is invested mainly in government bonds.

Manager comment

In March, Pharus Conservative closed with a performance of -2.63%, bringing the year-to-date performance to -0.86%. Global equity markets lost ground (Global Equities -4.4%, YTD -1.68%) due to uncertainty linked to trade policies, particularly the tariffs announced by Trump for April 2nd. Signs of a more cautious U.S. consumer and rising inflation expectations fueled concerns about growth and worsened sentiment. In Europe, Germany's fiscal policy took an expansionary turn with the announcement of substantial investments in infrastructure and defense. Bund yields rose by approximately 30 basis points, reflecting expectations of increased debt, while U.S. yields remained stable, starting to incorporate an economic slowdown. The equity allocation remains invested at 28%, generally focused on leading companies with a valuation discount. On the bond side, we maintain a duration of 5.
