Understand the philosophy

Carmignac Portfolio Human Xperience invests in companies that demonstrate strong customer and employee satisfaction. Not only do we believe that both matter in order to retain clients and staff, a broad set of research and data support human experience as a key factor for business success. Companies that provide positive experiences to their customers and employees may be better positioned to achieve superior returns over the long-term.

The first pillar focuses on finding companies demonstrating a strong customer experience. In order to do so we seek to understand multiple factors related to how the company considers and addresses customers’ expectations. These key factors are as follows:

  • Carmignac
    Product safety & responsibility
  • Carmignac
    Customer satisfaction
  • Carmignac
    Customer privacy
  • Carmignac
    Customer welfare

The second pillar focuses on finding companies demonstrating a strong employee experience. Understanding and analysing how employees are treated by companies is key to identify the best players. The factors that can lead to a positive employee experience are as follows:

  • Carmignac
    Health & safety
  • [ISR pages] Picto Engage
    Employee Engagement
  • Carmignac
    Corporate culture
  • Carmignac
    Diversity & inclusion

Sustainable investment is fully integrated into this investment process and is part of our objective to capture companies with attractive long-term prospects. The Fund adopts a best-in-class and socially responsible approach to investment. We strive to select the best issuers in the investable universe based on their differentiating management of customer and employee satisfaction.

Performance review

Our portfolio has a natural bias towards consumer related sectors. Although 2022 suffered from this overweight, namely in technology and consumer discretionary, stock selection has demonstrated a neutral impact on underperformance over the period. Since launch stock selection in the following sectors have contributed positively to overall performance:

  • Consumer Staples – positions in L’Oreal and General Mills have been beneficial to the Fund where our survey data demonstrate strong satisfaction for both customers and employees.

  • Healthcare – Novo Nordisk’s focus on fighting diabetes has been a top performer in its sector and for the Fund.

  • Technology – Intuit and Nvidia have contributed positively since the beginning of the year and are among the best companies to work for within the Fortune surveys.

Our portfolio has been mainly tilted towards more defensive quality companies, in a context of slowing growth all around the world.

What will come next ?

The market dynamics we are in are still driven by higher inflationary pressures and rising prospects of weakening economic growth.

Our strategy’s focus remains on identifying and owning companies which exhibit strong customer and employee characteristics that we believe have the best prospects over the long run. While the market was particularly turbulent over 2022, we are confident that the latter has created a unique set of opportunities that we look to capitalise on.

Over the past year we have remained defensively positioned and sought to reduce cyclicality in the portfolio. Whilst inflation is an issue today, our consumer stocks should benefit from the inflation anxiety easing and as a result real incomes becoming less negative.
