Market environment

US data continues to reflect a degree of economic resilience, with inflation figures still high. However, the disinflation trend continues in Europe. In the light of this, the Fed and the ECB are sticking to their plan and will probably start cutting interest rates this summer. This backdrop of robust growth, persistent inflation and more accommodative central banks is keeping the risky asset rally alive. Stock market indices rose further in March, with global equities enjoying their longest stretch of positive monthly performances since 2021. Fortunes were fairly consistent between the various regions. Energy and materials were the best performing sectors as commodity prices climbed. Oil was up 5% to $87 a barrel (Brent), while gold set a new record of more than $2,200 an ounce. The technology and consumer sectors fared worse, even if they did end the month higher. Stock markets remain on the up because they are still expecting the Fed to cut interest rates and the economy to land softly, which is good news for corporate earnings.

Performance commentary

The Fund ended March with a gain of more than 4%, beating its reference indicator. Once again, semiconductor stocks benefited from AI and its growth prospects. This month it was Micron Technology that gave the market a pleasant surprise, announcing much better-than-expected results. These support our investment case, namely that the industry is gradually reaching a mismatch between supply and demand. The only blot on the copybook was AMD, which suffered from the Chinese government’s recent decisions aimed at prioritising Chinese microchips. Away from semiconductors, Airbus performed well in industrials, as did Lonza in healthcare. Our portfolio of healthcare stocks also raised performance as Novo Nordisk, a leader on the blossoming market for obesity treatments, climbed ever higher.

Outlook strategy

The combination of slower but firmer economic growth and more accommodative central banks should keep macroeconomic conditions favourable for equities. However, although financial markets are not showing any signs of exuberance, this scenario has already been priced in, with most indices reaching all-time highs. Regular profit-taking and selectivity are therefore essential. Although we remain optimistic for the AI and obesity treatment themes, we are strengthening positions on laggards and diversifying through the industrial sector in particular. These laggards include chip maker TSMC, which supplies Apple and NVIDIA and is therefore benefiting from the frenzy surrounding AI. We also remain convinced about Hermès, which should post double-digit sales growth again this year and beat its rivals, as its high-end positioning gives the company pricing power and leads to higher volumes being sold. Kristofer Barrett will take over the Carmignac Investissement strategy on 8 April 2024. With a proven investment approach that combines bottom-up research with pragmatic macroeconomic analysis, Kristofer has delivered remarkable results over the long term. The investment philosophy will remain true to that which is behind Carmignac Investissement’s 35 years of success.
