Portfolio 26.04.2024

Fund performance was positive during Q1 2024 and the fund rose just over 10% in SEK.

Major contributors within the technology sector were SAP and ASML, while Novo Nordisk was a strong contributor within healthcare and Essilorluxottica and Richemont posted strength within consumer goods. Compass Group and ING also contributed positively to returns.

JD Sports, Infineon, Edenred and Prudential had the most negative impact on returns in the period.

JD Sports lowered its outlook in January, which caused shares to plummet after a strong close to 2023. Although consumer demand remains weak, we chose to increase the position slightly as we see good opportunities for higher demand during the year, which was confirmed by the company in conjunction with its financial statement.

Leading companies within the luxury segment have posted strength thus far this year, which is reflected in the returns we received in Richemont and EssilorLuxottica. Within the technology sector, ASML and Infineon are balancing between an emerging recovery in the semiconductor sector and geopolitical tensions. At the beginning of the year, ASML benefited from an earlier than expected uptick in orders, which lifted the share. However, Infineon has been weighed down by concerns about the overall demand for their products as well as by the risks of losing market share in China.
