Marktentwicklungen

Per 31-07-2026

July was a volatile month, with the market's strongest performers – particularly AI and semiconductor stocks – coming under pressure. Despite the turbulence, markets ended broadly flat (-0.1% in EUR, +0.5% in USD). Strong earnings and continued AI investment plans, with hyperscalers expected to spend nearly USD 800 billion in 2026, reassured investors that the AI buildout remains intact. However, markets are becoming more selective, demanding tangible returns rather than future promises. Rising US Treasury yields have reinforced expectations of earlier Fed tightening, while renewed tensions around the Strait of Hormuz pushed oil prices higher. Even so, improving consumer confidence provided some support. Overall, July was a reminder of how quickly market leadership can shift, reinforcing the value of maintaining a balanced and diversified portfolio.

Erläuterungen zur Wertentwicklung

Per 31-07-2026

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 2.81%. In July, the fund outperformed the MSCI World Index, driven by strong stock selection in information technology, financials, and industrials. A balanced exposure to AI-related hardware companies proved beneficial. Microsoft was the largest contributor after reporting strong earnings, with accelerating Azure growth and increasing AI monetization easing concerns over AI investment returns. Thermo Fisher Scientific also performed well following better-than-expected quarterly results and a recovery in its Analytical Instruments business. Mastercard benefited from strong earnings and renewed investor interest in high-quality defensive growth companies. Relative performance also gained from not holding Micron, Tesla, and Intel. The main detractors were within the AI hardware complex. Applied Materials declined during the sector-wide AI sell-off despite no company-specific news, although shares recovered toward month-end. AstraZeneca also detracted following clinical setbacks that outweighed an otherwise solid quarterly performance.

Prognose des Fondsmanagements

Christoph Wolfensberger

The economic backdrop remains mixed, with restrictive monetary policy and uncertainty around interest rates. However, corporate earnings remain strong, supported by resilient economic activity, fiscal support, and continued AI investment. While this should underpin markets, elevated valuations leave little room for disappointment, making markets vulnerable to setbacks in geopolitics, growth, or central bank policy. We expect earnings growth to broaden beyond mega-cap technology, creating opportunities across sectors. Our focus remains on companies with strong competitive positions, resilient cash flows, and sustainable growth drivers. The portfolio continues to balance structural growth opportunities with high-quality, resilient businesses, while selectively adding attractively valued companies with strong long-term fundamentals and maintaining valuation discipline in the most expensive areas of the market.
