Performance commentary
In March, the fund posted a positive performance, driven by our Long book. On the Technology side, Micron reported strong earnings with the stock up 30% during the month of March. We had a large position through both an equity position and some call options ahead of the results. The company makes high bandwidth memory products, which are proving crucial in the era of AI computing. We think the HBM part of the semiconductor market is benefiting from a strong secular driver, and we are exposed to this theme with our position in SK Hynix as well. We also had a large performance contribution from our position in Prada, which reported solid Q4 sales with 17% organic growth boosted by Miu Miu. Finally, we had a large position in Lonza, which announced the acquisition of one of the largest biologics manufacturing sites in the world by volume rom Roche. This facility expansion led to a mid-term revenue guidance upgrade. On the Short side, we had implemented a large short position in Nike, which had a positive contribution to our alpha. Nike announced at the end of the month that a combination of flat sales and higher costs had seen its fiscal third quarter net income fall by 5%.Outlook strategy
The net exposure of the strategy stayed steady at the high end of our range; and our gross exposure also stayed stable above 200%. As fundamentals are back at driving stock prices, we continued to reinforce our convictions on both the long and short side and our portfolio is back to a normal level of convictions. On the long side of the book, our portfolio in our Core Long book has been stable with strong convictions in Prada in the Luxury sector, Daimler in the Automotive space, IMI in the Chemicals space and several positions in the Technology sector like ASML, Hynix or SAP; as well as some defensive positions like Novo Nordisk and Deutsche Telekom. On the short side, we continue to find many new names in the Consumer, Industrials and Healthcare spaces with poor balance sheets and deteriorating fundamentals, bringing tightened margins and profit warnings. Overall, we keep strong convictions in our Core Long book and have sized up these positions accordingly. We feel the current environment is quite conducive to our conviction-led portfolio.Performance Overview

Market environment
The rally continued in March as the AI theme dominated and central banks were more accommodative than expected. The main macroeconomic debate centres on the timing and scope of interest rate cuts in the United States and Europe. US economic data continues to show fairly resilient economic activity, with a stable unemployment rate. Although inflation is still trending towards the Fed’s 2% target, this movement is proving slower and more irregular than had generally been anticipated. Investors are consequently expecting rate cuts to arrive later and be on a smaller scale. The situation in Europe is not so good, with PMIs showing a contraction in the manufacturing industry, even if the signs are that activity could stabilise.
