Performance commentary
- During the month of August, the Fund recorded a positive absolute performance, slightly below its reference indicator.
- Our holding in Straumann has been the best performers in the fund after reporting strong quarterly results and provided an optimistic outlook, which benefited the Fund.
- Our biggest detractors during the month have been Lonza and Zealand Pharma which experienced a decline during the month after strong performance since the beginning of the year.
- Having no exposure to Communication Services penalised the Fund while, on the contrary, having no exposure to Energy has been supportive.
Outlook strategy
- With volumes being at low levels during the month of August, we made few changes to our portfolio.
- We reduced our holdings in the Healthcare stocks and particularly in Lonza after decent recovery off summer’s lows and Zealand Pharma post very strong performance this year.
- During the month we initiated a new position in Biontech and sold our holdings in Evotec in after the company lowered their medium-term forecast.
- The Fund continues to rely on bottom-up fundamental analysis with a medium-long term horizon.
- As rate cuts have started in Europe and the economies weaken, we are encouraged that markets should be able to ride out a period of weaker economic strength and some political headlines.
- We stick to our process of focusing on profitable companies with high returns on capital, reinvesting for growth and maintain our focus on stocks and sectors with strong visibility on sales and profits.
