Market environment

US data continues to reflect a degree of economic resilience, with inflation figures still high. However, the disinflation trend continues in Europe. In the light of this, the Fed and the ECB are sticking to their plan and will probably start cutting interest rates this summer. This backdrop of robust growth, persistent inflation and more accommodative central banks is keeping the risky asset rally alive. Stock market indices rose further in March, with global equities enjoying their longest stretch of positive monthly performances since 2021. Fortunes were fairly consistent between the various regions. Energy and materials were the best performing sectors as commodity prices climbed. Oil was up 5% to $87 a barrel (Brent), while gold set a new record of more than $2,200 an ounce. The technology and consumer sectors fared worse, even if they did end the month higher. Stock markets remain on the up because they are still expecting the Fed to cut interest rates and the economy to land softly, which is good news for corporate earnings.

Performance commentary

March was another good month for global markets, with all sectors moving higher on the prospect of a soft landing, and economic data showing signs of resilience. However, although the Fund generated a good absolute return, it trailed its reference indicator slightly. Our lack of exposure to commodities, our underexposure to financials, and our overweighting of consumer staples were the main factors limiting performance. The main players in obesity and weight loss treatments, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk, continued to display resilience with exceptional gains in March. However, other healthcare names like WuXi Biologics in China, Diasorin in Italy and Danaher in the United States proved very costly, as did LVMH and L’Oréal.

Outlook strategy

Although market sentiment remained positive during the month we are still being cautious with the portfolio’s positioning and continuing to focus on less cyclical family businesses. We made very few changes in March. We did trim our position in Novo Nordisk to realise profits after strong gains in recent months. We continue to believe that the resilience afforded by investment in quality family- and founder-owned businesses will be our strategy’s trump card.
