Tracking error ex-post (%) The ex-post tracking error is defined as the volatility of the fund's achieved excess return over the index return. In fund management, most managers are subject to an ex-ante (pre-determined) tracking error, which defines the extent of the additional risk they may take when aspiring to outperform the fund's benchmark. The ex-post tracking error explains the distribution of past fund performances compared to those of its underlying benchmark. With a higher tracking error, the fund's returns deviate more from its index's returns, hence there is a greater chance that the fund may outperform. The wider the spread of returns relative to the benchmark, the more "actively" a fund has been managed. In contrast, a low tracking error indicates more "passive" management.	10.75	-
Ratio d'information This ratio serves to evaluate the quality of the excess return a fund manager has achieved because it takes the active risk involved into account. The information ratio is defined as the excess return over the benchmark return divided by the fund's tracking error. The higher the information ratio, the better. For example, a fund with a tracking error of 4% and an excess return of 2% over benchmark has an information ratio of 0.5, which is quite good.	0.17	-
Ratio de Sharpe This ratio measures the risk-adjusted performance and allows the performance quality of different investments to be compared. It is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate from the fund's returns and dividing the result by the fund's standard deviation (risk). So the Sharpe ratio tells us whether a fund's returns are the result of smart investment decisions or stem from taking extra risk. The higher the ratio, the better, meaning that a greater return is achieved per unit of risk. This ratio is named after its inventor, Nobel Laureate, William Sharpe.	0.85	-
Alpha (%) Alpha measures the difference between a portfolio's actual return and its expected performance, given the level of risk, compared to the benchmark. A positive alpha figure indicates that the fund has performed better than expected, given the level of risk. Beta is used to calculate the level of risk compared to the benchmark..	-1.89	-
Beta Beta is a measure of a portfolio's volatility, or systematic risk, in comparison to the benchmark. A beta of 1 indicates that the portfolio will move with the benchmark. A beta of less than 1 means that the portfolio will be less volatile than the benchmark. A beta of more than 1 indicates that the portfolio will be more volatile than the benchmark. For example, if a portfolio's beta is 1.2 it is theoretically 20% more volatile than the benchmark.	1.34	-
Ecart type Standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. The more spread out the data is, the higher the deviation. In finance, standard deviation is applied to the annual rate of return of an investment to measure the investment's volatility (risk).	18.33	-
Gain mensuel max. (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	17.22	-
Perte mensuelle max.(%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute negative monthly performance in the underlying period.	-9.37	-

Évolution des marchés

Par 31-07-2026

Despite July's breakneck volatility, the market's behavior is not entirely irrational. The current level of volatility can be understood in the context of AI introducing a generational paradigm shift, and with it, a generational level of uncertainty. The breakneck July market swings demonstrated that. July proved two additional things. First, earnings growth is broadening beyond the direct beneficiaries of AI. Second, we believe a more balanced barbell strategy could serve investors well going forward. A barbell strategy pairs two opposing sets of exposure at either end of the spectrum; here, higher-growth AI-levered technology at one end and cheaper, more defensive names outside of tech at the other. Crucially, a barbell is not a blunt sector call but a stock-selection exercise, picking individual names at each tail. For the circular economy strategy, implementation of the barbell began a couple of months ago. The speed with which tech positioning unwound in July nonetheless resulted in negative performance in July.

Attribution de performance

Par 31-07-2026

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -10.06%. After a strong first half of the year, July was a difficult month in both absolute and relative terms. The fund declined meaningfully while the MSCI World Index was broadly flat, giving back a portion of the relative lead built up over the preceding months. However, even after this setback, the fund remains ahead of the index YTD. Barbell positioning has been the defining theme of the fund's recent activity. Though the speed of July's drop was exceptional, when the sell-off came, the fund chose not to become a forced seller into indiscriminate weakness, electing instead to ride out the storm. The fundamentals of the holdings remained strong, valuations had become materially more attractive, and positioning in the H1 winners has become considerably cleaner. Encouragingly, the fund repositioning worked in its favor. Several of the month's strongest contributors, Tetra Tech and TMO, were the holdings added on the defensive side of the barbell. That said, the drawdown was deep. The sources of pain this month were, almost without exception, the sources of gain over the year as a whole. The picture against the internal benchmark was similar.

Prévisions du gérant

Natalie Falkman

July's drop in the global momentum factor, largely made up of the beneficiaries of the AI infrastructure buildout, was among the sharpest on record. Looking ahead, while it is impossible to call an end to the deleveraging and de-risking in advance, there are some encouraging signs that the market is in the latter part of it. Strong Q2 earnings across the hyperscalers could also help provide a near-term floor for the technology supply chain, an area hit relatively harder by the investor repositioning and profit-taking. Outside of technology, Q2 was marked by EPS breadth at cycle highs, with upward EPS momentum persisting across most sectors. Large parts of the overall economy, not just the AI beneficiaries, are experiencing positive or accelerating demand. One of the central questions for the second half of 2026 is if and when the Fed could hike rates. An end to the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East would be a very welcome event and would, among other things, hopefully ease pressure on headline inflation through softer energy price.
