Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Performances are net of fees (excluding possible entrance fees charged by the distributor). The return may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations, for the shares which are not currency-hedged. The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) 2019/2088 is a European regulation that requires asset managers to classify their funds as either 'Article 8' funds, which promote environmental and social characteristics, 'Article 9' funds, which make sustainable investments with measurable objectives, or 'Article 6' funds, which do not necessarily have a sustainability objective.

The month of July was characterized by volatility as markets processed several significant economic and political events.
Bond investors were reassured by a lower-than-anticipated US Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading at the beginning of the month indicating that the Federal Reserve (Fed) would likely start reducing interest rates soon.
The MSCI World index showed a return of 1.8% for developed equities. However, growth stocks experienced a decline of 1% as investors became doubtful about the potential future returns from investing in AI.
Elsewhere, the performance of commodities was negative, with the Bloomberg Commodity Index down 4% during the month.
The decline was influenced by oil prices, as market participants assessed the effects of reduced demand from China in comparison to supply concerns stemming from tensions in the Middle East.
Performance commentary
Our Fund recorded a negative performance in absolute and relative terms in July.
The stocks that contributed negatively to our performance were companies linked to the theme of green technology, with SK Hynix and TSMC being our main detractors.
LG Chem also impacted our performance, announcing disappointing second-quarter results that were below expectations.
We benefited from our overweight position and rigorous stock selection in the utilities sector. Our biggest contribution this month came from the renewable energy theme.
Drax, the UK electricity generator, has significantly boosted our performance with its strong first-half profit report and announcement of a share buyback.
Outlook strategy
During the month of July, we readjusted the allocation in the renewable energy sub-theme, reducing the positions in Sunrun and Orsted after their solid performances over the month.
Our strong conviction in semiconductors remains intact.
We believe that our diversification across our sub-themes will enable us to navigate better in this market environment.
