Market environment

  • The US markets had their worst month since December 2022. This decline is mainly attributed to the imminent announcement of new tariffs.
  • Technology equities have suffered particularly. On the other hand, defensive sectors such as healthcare have performed positively.
  • European and emerging markets continue to outperform the US. However, they have not been spared by concerns about customs barriers.
  • Investors increasingly fear a scenario in which the US economy enters a sharp slowdown as inflation accelerates.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month of March, the fund had a negative return both in absolute and relative terms.
  • Our exposure to Consumer Discretionary was the primary reason for our underperformance over the month. In addition to our overweight to the sector which hurt our performance, a few names in the sector, such as Hilton, Marriott, Amazon and Adidas were among our largest detractors.
  • Simultaneously, our underweight to Financials and lack of exposure to Energy stocks was also a contributor to our underperformance.
  • Nevertheless, our overweight to Consumer Staples and stock selection in IT, through names like Samsung and Intuit were beneficial to the funds returns over the month.

Outlook strategy

  • In March, we added back into higher beta names, particularly in the US as we think they have been oversold. We added back to Nvidia, Servicenow, Salesforce and Amazon, as well as Sony and TSMC.
  • We reduced our weight in some lower beta names such as Nestle, Colgate-Palmolive, L’Oreal and Roche.
  • Over the month we exited Diageo, a lower conviction position in which our investment case deteriorated with the current business headwinds the firm is facing.
  • The exit in Diageo funded a new position in JP Morgan which demonstrates good customer and employee scores.
  • We remain cautious in positioning our portfolio and continue to focus on higher quality 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.
