Market environment

  • On global markets, performance was mixed for US stocks.
  • Tech companies and the Russell 2000 index outperformed, whereas utility providers and medical equipment manufacturers encountered difficulties.
  • Treasuries weakened, the dollar was stable and crude oil prices rose again.
  • However, commodity stocks delivered negative returns with the Bloomberg Commodity index down 1.5%.
  • In other news, the ECB started its rate-cutting cycle in June, lowering its deposit rate by 25 basis points to 3.75% in response to the brighter outlook for inflation.
  • Despite this easing of key interest rates, the repercussions of French elections being called early heightened uncertainty on equity and bond markets.

Performance commentary

  • Our Fund generated a positive absolute return but trailed its reference indicator in June.
  • Companies linked to the supply of green energy weighed on the Fund’s performance, with Nextera the most costly position.
  • TPI Composites also hit performance after announcing that it was selling its automotive business to focus on making wind turbine blades.
  • We benefited from our overweighting and careful selection of technology and consumer discretionary stocks.
  • This month’s number one source of performance was the green technology theme.
  • Taiwan Semiconductors (TSMC), one of our biggest positions and part of the green technology sub-theme, was the main performance contributor in the wake of strong demand for microchips.

Outlook strategy

  • We tweaked the weighting of stocks in the renewable energy sub-theme in June, trimming positions in Orsted and TPI Composites after disappointing performances.
  • We remain strongly convinced of the outlook for semiconductors
  • and believe that our diversification through sub-themes will make it easier to navigate this market environment.
