Descripción general

Manager's Outlook

The investment landscape?marked by extreme inflation, tightening financial conditions, slowing growth, decelerating corporate earnings, and continued geopolitical risks?remains challenging. We are operating in an environment of rapidly changing and powerful economic factors by focusing on our "core basics" of following a truly idiosyncratic, sector-balanced approach that leverages our extensive research platform to invest in what we believe are well-run, durable growth compounders?stocks that should provide a solid return outcome in a lower-growth environment with meaningfully reset valuations.

�

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has led to extreme commodity price inflation that has rippled through the global economy, and COVID-related headwinds have continued to disrupt supply chains. Outside of China, the rest of the world has reopened, and the higher inflation that was once thought to be transitory is likely to remain higher for longer than we had thought. With central banks now laser focused on reigning in inflation, we are operating in a higher interest rate world with rising risks of a recession.

�

Despite near-term uncertainty, we believe the market environment is still positive for equities and growth in the medium and longer term. While recession has become a broadly consensus view, it would likely be one of the most telegraphed recessions in history, and we would expect it to be short lived. Even though we are clearly in a new rate environment with the Federal Reserve going at a steeper and quicker pace than we anticipated, real rates remain negative and should remain very low for the medium term, which would be supportive for global growth equities. We believe the sharp downturn in equities has also removed much of the fundamental excess valuation in many stocks, which should provide for more compelling opportunities.

�

We are cognizant of building the portfolio for tomorrow, rather than owning what has worked in the recent past. Despite the challenges of 2022, we have high conviction in our current positions with a strong enduring bias toward companies in highly attractive industries where dynamics such as low penetration and long runways will lead to high and sustained levels of growth. Extending our return horizon and thinking beyond the short-term market narrative have allowed us to be contrarian in the past and have contributed to our longer-term outperformance.

Global equities tumbled in February as the continued spread of the coronavirus beyond China, with acute outbreaks in Italy, South Korea, and Iran, spurred fears of a global pandemic and slowing growth. Within the portfolio, information technology (IT) contributed the most to relative returns. Shares of video conferencing solutions firm Zoom Video spiked over the month. As the coronavirus outbreak continues to spread worldwide and businesses deploy contingency plans like working from home, Zoom’s video conferencing technology could become more in-demand, and other investors appeared to recognise this. We think Zoom Video has an outstanding product with better technology than competitors that can address a widespread pain point (unreliable video conferencing from work and home). Conversely, a combination of stock selection and an underweight to real estate modestly held back relative performance. Logistics distribution warehouse operator Prologis fell amid concerns that slowing global growth from the coronavirus outbreak could be a headwind for the firm’s business. We think Prologis represents a durable, long-term growth opportunity given its exposure to fast-growing markets like e-commerce. We also think the management team is top-notch and believe its ability to create a one-stop shop for organisations looking to build a national logistics network is underappreciated.

Advancements in areas like artificial intelligence (AI) and enterprise software are not only affecting technology companies, but also reshaping more traditional industries once viewed as less susceptible to business model disruption. Despite the near-term uncertainty and volatility created by the coronavirus outbreak, the powerful long-run trends that we believe will drive value creation in the technology sector remain in play. Meanwhile, the aftereffects from the virus outbreak could also result in lasting behavioural changes with more people working remotely and payment methods skewing more digitally. As a result, software and electronic payments are areas of focus within our IT sector exposure. We believe we also remain positioned to benefit from increasing AI adoption as well as the growing technology consumption in emerging markets.

We sold shares of Amazon.com to manage our position size. We continue to have a favorable view of the company's cloud business and think its advertising business should continue to grow nicely as well. However, results over the next couple of quarters are likely to be somewhat challenged in a weaker consumer and economic environment, and we chose to scale back the magnitude of our bet.
We sold shares of European fashion retailer ASOS. The company faces a challenging macroeconomic backdrop as European consumers wrestle with rising inflation and slowing growth, made more acute due to its proximity to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. As such we chose to reallocate to names where we have higher conviction.
We purchased shares of Sweden-based mining and smelting company Boliden. We think Boliden is one of the highest-quality names in the metals and mining space, with a thoughtful yet opportunistic management team that has a history of creating value for shareholders by investing countercyclically, keeping leverage low, lowering costs through efficiencies and technology, and dampening volatility with its smelting business.
We purchased shares of Baker Hughes, one of the world's largest oil field services companies. With the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the global energy supply chain will need to be retooled, and we think Baker Hughes will be a beneficiary of a multiyear runway of increased capital expenditures to help with that retooling, particularly on the natural gas and liquefied natural gas side.
We bought shares of European oil and gas exploration and production firm Galp Energia. We think Galp Energia offers unique and high-quality exposure to European energy, with a diversified asset base and good balance sheet. In particular, we think the company's Brazilian pre-salt and Mozambique liquid natural gas assets offer a long runway for growth.
We sold shares of Argenx, an antibody platform company developing novel therapies in autoimmune diseases and cancer, on strength. The company's therapy Vyvgart has a best-in-class profile with a first-mover advantage across several indications, and we think some earlier stage programs such as ARGX-117, which is a novel complement (C2) inhibitor, could be sources of long-term value creation for the company.

Shares of Brazilian ominichannel retailer Magazine Luiza sank on disappointing earnings results, broader macro pressure in the Brazilian market, and generally bearish sentiment for consumer growth names and concerns about higher inflation's effects on retailers. While positive physical store sales and faster than anticipated normalization in gross profit margins surprised to the upside, these positive data points were overshadowed by higher financial expenses and soft-ecommerce results. We continue to think Magazine Luiza has a best-in-class management team and is a strong, durable grower capable of sustaining well above industry average growth in e-commerce and marketplace retail.
Shares of Snap plunged after the company lowered revenue guidance in late May as the macro environment deteriorated further and faster than management had anticipated, which has put downward pressure on advertiser budgets. However, we continue to have a positive view of the company longer term as engagement, user scale, product velocity, and innovative posture all show very positively despite the near-term economic headwinds.�
A position in chemical company Albemarle contributed to relative results as the stock moved higher after the company reported a sizeable earnings beat and raised full-year guidance driven by stronger lithium numbers. While lithium prices have experienced near-term outsized gains, we think we are on the cusp of a structural lithium upcycle driven by electric vehicle adoption hitting the S-curve and continue to appreciate Albemarle's position in the industry.
