Market Overview

  • Sector leadership saw a sharp reversal from recent periods with Information Technology lagging all others on the back of extreme weakness in the previously high-flying semiconductor companies and other AI-infrastructure beneficiaries.
  • Energy and Financials were the strongest sectors which meant ‘value’ stocks outperformed ‘growth’ stocks by a significant margin.

  • The fund returned 0.9% for the month, outperforming the benchmark which returned -0.5%.
  • Of the underlying managers, Amova (+3.8% relative) was the stand-out while Life Cycle and JPMorgan were both ahead of benchmark by 1.8% and 1.4% respectively. Growth manager WCM underperformed by 2.9%.
