Market development

Per 30-11-2025

November saw notable traction in autonomous driving platforms, with Pony.ai accelerating commercialization in China by scaling its Gen-7 robotaxi fleet toward 1,000 vehicles, achieving city-level unit-economics breakeven in Guangzhou, and broadening fully driverless operations across key corridors in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other tier-one districts, while preparing expansion into additional international markets through partnerships such as its tie-up with European ride-hailing platform Bolt. Waymo, a unit of Alphabet, continued to densify its US footprint, extending its contiguous driverless service zone across more than 260 square miles in the San Francisco Bay Area with new freeway access, opening airport routes. Meanwhile, Tesla pushed its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) strategy on two fronts, beginning ride-along programs in major European markets such as Italy, France and Germany, while working toward potential regulatory approval in the Netherlands in 2026, and continuing a global FSD rollout and software upgrades.

Performance explanation

Per 30-11-2025

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -2.16%. SQM climbed after signing a long-term lithium-hydroxide supply agreement with a major European cathode maker and confirming 2025 capacity expansion is on track. The deal reassured investors that SQM will capture rising EV battery demand under EU sourcing rules, reinforcing its central role in critical-battery materials. Albemarle advanced as management raised full-year guidance, citing stronger spot-lithium pricing and accelerated offtake under its US loan-backed Kings Mountain restart. Analog Devices outperformed after posting a beat-and-raise quarter driven by record automotive revenue. A newly announced collaboration with a global OEM on software-defined power domains underscored ADI's expanding footprint in next-gen vehicle architectures. Delta Electronics eased despite solid earnings, as management flagged a pause in North American DC-fast-charger orders and rising price competition in Chinese AC chargers. While Delta's technology remains central to charging infrastructure build-outs, investors focused on near-term margin compression.

The underlying fundamentals (as reflected by the core themes addressed by the strategy) are very robust. Technology companies with strong and sustainable moats remain the focus of the strategy's investments. These companies focus on the development of high-voltage electric, low-voltage electronic and software-managed solutions that enable electrification, connectivity and autonomous driving. Other key enabling technologies include battery management systems, power inverters and artificial intelligence (AI). The strategy will also continue to seek exposure to the EV market as well as to companies helping to develop EV infrastructure worldwide.
