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

  • The fund began the year with a positive performance, surpassing its reference indicator.
  • The healthcare sector, emerging from two years of relative underperformance, was the primary contributor to the month's performance. Our stock selection proved successful, as evidenced by the performances of Thermo Fisher Scientific (+14%) and Vertex (+14%).
  • Despite the DeepSeek announcement, our stock selection managed to avoid the high dispersion within the technology sector during the month. Consequently, the sector positively contributed to our performance in January.
  • Our European technology companies more than compensated for the decline in some US technology companies such as Nvidia. SAP and ASML were among the fund's main contributors.
  • Similarly, the luxury goods sector rebounded well following the European markets, benefiting our main conviction in the sector: Hermès.
  • Conversely, our consumer staples companies underperformed in the context of a still robust global economy.

Outlook strategy

  • The 2024 earnings season has strated. Given the high valuations in the US, tolerance for disappointment is limited. Therefore, it seems crucial for us to focus on quality companies with strong profitability.
  • This cautious approach is reflected in our portfolio adjustments and sector allocations, which continue to lean towards a defensive strategy.
  • We continue to hold a significant proportion of our fund in pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and life sciences, confident in their long-term potential despite two years of underperformance relative to the market.
  • During the month, we also added two new positions to our fund: Equifax and Prysmian. These companies are perfectly aligned with our investment process, both in extra-financial and financial criteria. They provide us with exposure to the credit agencies and energy and telecoms cable production sub-sectors.
