Among the best performers were Alphabet Inc. and UnitedHealth Group, while Microsoft Corporation and CNH Industrial were among the worst performers.
During the month, we took advantage of opportunities in the HealthCare sector, where several leading companies are currently trading at a significant valuation discount.
We increased our positions in Pfizer and Merck, and added Regeneron, a leading company in ophthalmic (eye-care) pharmaceuticals.
The portfolio allocation remains defensive: geographically, we are 10% exposed to China, 60% to the United States, and 30% to Europe, all in leading companies trading at discounted valuations. This allocation allows us to maintain a portfolio valued at a 35% discount compared to the market.
On the currency side, the U.S. dollar exposure remains unhedged by about 20%.
