Commentary

As of 31 July 2026

Market Overview

  • Following a very strong second quarter, global equity markets took a pause over July as the USA-Iran peace deal unravelled mid-month and the conflict re-escalated.
  • 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.

Fund Highlights

  • The fund returned 3.60% for the month, outperforming the benchmark which returned -0.48%.
  • Positive contributors to performance over the month included IQVIA Holdings Inc, Microsoft Corporation and Amazon.com, Inc.
  • Negative contributors to performance over the month included ASM International N.V., Sandvik AB and Amphenol Corporation.
