Commentary

As of 31 January 2026

Market Overview
  • January was volatile for financial markets, amid heightened geopolitical tensions, even as investors’ appetite for risk increased. 
  • While President Trump invaded Venezuela, threatened Greenland and Iran, and slapped further tariffs on anyone in his way, precious metals surged, and equities embraced a Goldilocks environment of falling interest rates and accelerating growth.
  • The best‑performing sectors were Materials and Energy, while several defensive sectors, including Real Estate, Consumer Staples and Utilities, also outperformed. Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary were the weakest sectors over the month.
Fund Highlights
  • The fund returned -5.14% for the month, underperforming the benchmark which returned -2.11%.
  • Positive contributors to performance over the month included ASM International, Curtiss‑Wright Corporation and Sandvik AB. 
  • Most of the underperformance for the month can be attributed to continued style headwinds, for example, value outperformed growth by 5% over the period. 
  • Returns for the fund were also negatively impacted by the USD weakening against the NZD over the month.
  • Negative contributors to performance included Sony Group Corporation, HDFC Bank Limited and Microsoft Corporation.
