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.

Performance commentary
- During the month of September, the Fund recorded a negative absolute performance, although above its reference indicator.
- Our holding in Biontech that we initiated last month has been the best performer in the fund after papers published in advance of the cancer congress ESMO showed promising product responses.
- Our biggest detractors this month has been Novo Nordisk, as supply restrictions are now being incorporated into analyst estimates for Q3, leading to increased uncertainty regarding the medium-term investment outlook.
- Having no exposure to Communication Services penalised the Fund while, on the contrary, having no exposure to Energy has been very supportive.
Outlook strategy
- During the month, our portfolio remained relatively stable with only a few adjustments. We initiated a new position in Ferrari that now accounts to 0.8% of the portfolio.
- We reduced our holdings in the Healthcare stocks and particularly continued to reduce Lonza and Novo Nordisk after a weak month.
- Additionally, we made modest reductions in order to take profit in our consumer names, such as L’Oreal, Beiersdorf and Essilor as well as Luxury good stocks like Hermes after strong performance following positive news from China in the last week of September.
- The Fund continues to rely on bottom-up fundamental analysis with a medium-long term horizon.
- As rate cuts have started in Europe and the economies weaken, we are encouraged that markets should be able to ride out a period of weaker economic strength and some political headlines.
- We stick to our process of focusing on profitable companies with high returns on capital, reinvesting for growth and maintain our focus on stocks and sectors with strong visibility on sales and profits.
