Manager comment
In August, the NAV/share dropped by approximately 1.0% for the currency-unhedged classes and rose by 0.2% for the currency-hedged classes. The environment was characterised by: (i) Rising equity markets (in local currency: EMU +0.4%, UK +1.5%, Hong Kong +1.9%, USA +1.9%, China +4.2% and Japan +4.3%); (ii) Outperformance in Basic Materials, Health Care and Communication Services; underperformance in Utilities, Industrials and IT; (iii) Euro appreciation vs. Dollar (+2.4%) and Franc (+0.9%); Flat vs. Pound and Yen; (iv) 10Y benchmark yields increasing across major regions, except USA (-13bp); (v) WTI CLc1 oil retreating to .0 (-7.6%); (vi) GCc1 Gold climbing to ,473.7 (+5.5%); (vii) VIX closing at 15.4 vs. 18.6 at the outset; (viii) Bitcoin -6.4%. No outright purchases or sales were executed during the period. At the aggregate level, the top contributors were AppLovin, Novo Nordisk, Sea, Lam Research and UnitedHealth Group; while the main detractors were Meta Platforms, Vertiv Holdings, NVIDIA, TSMC and Microsoft. The equity portfolio is allocated to Quality Value (85%) and Deep Value (15%). It offers better valuation and a lower risk profile than the market. For example, the top 40 holdings display high credit quality and superior expected profitability (e.g. 32% Net Margin, 36% ROE), as well as a higher Margin of Safety (4%) compared to broad indices, where the equity risk premium remains well below average. Aggregate Cash & Fixed Income account for 29.3% of NAV. No equity derivative hedging is in place.
