Market environment

  • Global equities started the year strongly, with Europe notably outperforming the US.
  • The arrival of President Trump had a positive impact on the equities markets, but the rise of the Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek raised concerns for players in the US technology sector.
  • From a macroeconomic perspective, data confirmed recent trends, showing a robust US economy (GDP up by 0.6% over the quarter) and a sluggish European economy with signs of improvement.
  • The Fed halted its easing cycle in January after three consecutive cuts. In contrast, the European Central Bank reduced its deposit rate by 25 bps in response to more moderate growth.
  • In Europe, gains were supported by the Financials and Consumer Discretionary sectors, driven by a solid global economic backdrop.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month of January, the fund performed well in absolute terms. In relative terms, the fund lagged slightly its reference indicator.
  • Our stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector was our largest contributor. Amazon and Adidas were among top contributors.
  • While we saw strong stock selection in the IT sector, with names like SAP as our top contributor over the month, our overweight to the sector and exposure to Nvidia somewhat detracted to our overall performance following the emergence of the DeepSeek AI model reducing the perceived need for GPUs and other chip components.

Outlook strategy

  • In January, we did a few changes to the portfolio. One of them was adding to our European exposure through UBS and Cap Gemini
  • We reduced our exposure to some of the tech names we had like Apple and TSMC as well as in Danaher.
  • Over the month we also exited Experian due to its deteriorating CHX score. We also initiated a new position in Lonza, which demonstrates a good CHX score due to strong employee practices and dedication to customer success
  • We remain cautious in positioning our portfolio and continue to focus on quality, less cyclical companies.

The social theme is one of the most disregarded areas within ESG. Yet we believe that companies providing positive experiences to both their customers and employees are better positioned to achieve superior returns over the long run.
