Commentary

As of 31 May 2026

Market Overview

  • After a very strong April, global equity markets remained constructive in May as investors continued to price in geopolitical de-escalation.
  • The rally was narrow and technology led. Semiconductors, technology hardware and selected software names drove the bulk of gains, while more defensive, energy-related and selected financial exposures lagged.
  • Key sector drivers centred on AI, with broad participation but clear leadership in growth-oriented areas: the information technology (15.84%) and communication services (11.21%) sectors were the top performers (with semiconductors soaring 24%).

Fund Highlights

  • The fund returned 1.09% for the month, underperforming the benchmark which returned 5.14%.
  • Positive contributors to performance over the month included Compass Group, IQVIA Holdings and Microsoft Corporation.
  • Negative contributors to performance included US Foods Holding, Rakuten Bank and SMC Corporation.
  • The fund was underweight in the highest beta segments, namely DRAM and NAND manufacturers, especially across Asia, which experienced outsized gains. This positioning accounted for the majority of the relative underperformance, contributing more than three-quarters of the total shortfall.
