Portfolio 26.04.2024

Q1 2024 accounted for a flying start to the year on the stock market and the fund rose 16% in SEK. Most astonishing was the 93% upturn in Nvidia, although there were many other semiconductor-related equities that posted strength.

The fund benefitted in particular from the significant holding in Nvidia but also received a nice lift from TSMC, Broadcom and ASML. Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk continued to deliver strong share price upturns within diabetes/obesity and thereby contributed positively to the fund’s performance. US consumers withstood rate hikes and inflation unexpectedly well, which could be seen in the strong reports from Hyatt Hotels, Tractor Supply, Trex and Sprout Farmers Markets, equities that all posted substantial upturns during the period. Lonza and Edwards Lifesciences, two of the fund’s healthcare equities that posted a weak 2023, rebounded sharply in the quarter due to improved numbers and news flow.

On the negative side during the quarter were a number of equities, primarily within the Environment/Renewable theme that included Ameresco, Darling Ingredients and Albemarle. These three equities were divested from the fund during the quarter.

We continue to focus on long-term investments in structural winners among companies that can contribute with solutions to the world’s major challenges: climate, healthcare, productivity and digitalization needs.
