Quarterly updates
Strategy update: Q2 2024
European Sustainability strategy update: 1 April - 30 June 2024
Following an improvement in the strategy’s performance in late 2023, the first half of 2024 has been relatively weak. Geopolitical and monetary policy uncertainty continue to weigh on markets, and the strategy was impacted by volatility from a small number of holdings.
This volatility brought opportunities to build positions in companies we believe are well-positioned for the long term, such as our IT services holdings, Endava (United States: Information Technology) and EPAM Systems (United States: Information Technology). Despite short-term pressure on customer budgets, the long-term opportunity of digitalisation remains an exciting area of growth for both companies.
We also added to a number of existing holdings, including Dino Polska (Poland: Consumer Staples), admiring their consistent execution in a fast-growing retail market, as well as companies with strong, diversified cash flows, such as Vitec Software (Sweden: Information Technology) and the global leader in locks, Assa Abloy (Sweden: Industrials).
In contrast, we exited several positions, including ALK-Abellò (Denmark: Health Care), Admiral (United Kingdom: Financials) and Spirax Group (United Kingdom: Industrials) due to valuation concerns and Alfen (Netherlands: Industrials) after issues around destocking, management change, and slowing end markets.
We initiated a new position in Ashtead Group (United Kingdom: Industrials), which rents construction and industrial equipment to a range of customers in the United States and further afield. Ashtead is stewarded by an excellent management team who have proven themselves adept at reinvesting cash flows into the business, as well as consolidating the highly fragmented market of equipment rental services through acquisition. The business model of equipment rental favours large-scale businesses with geographic reach, product breadth, and customer service excellence, for which we believe Ashtead is in a strong and still strengthening position. Ashtead should also benefit from strong sustainability opportunities (tailwinds), not only for the principle of maximising equipment life and ensuring responsible disposal, but also the use of leased assets in infrastructure investment across areas such as semiconductors, electric vehicles (EVs), and renewable energy.
A new position was also initiated in Air Liquide (France: Industrials), which supplies industrial gases such as oxygen, argon, hydrogen, and helium to a range of end markets, including healthcare, manufacturing, and electronics. The company is well-positioned within an oligopolistic, consolidated market; pricing is both rational and inflation-linked, and the products are often essential for their customers’ day-to-day operations. In addition to building on their century-old core business, Air Liquide are exploring new areas of growth in carbon capture and green hydrogen. It has invested in 200 megawatts of planned hydrolyser capacity in Normandy as part of their target to invest EUR8 billion to reduce emissions from hydrogen production by 20351.
Amid the volatility, it was pleasing to see signs of a recovery in one of the portfolio’s largest positions, Roche (Switzerland: Health Care). Following a long destocking cycle after the covid-19 pandemic, Roche is poised to capitalise on its market-leading diagnostics offering, which consists of 600 tests and is planned to grow by 40 new tests each year. Strong growth and cash flows from diagnostics support Roche’s long-term drug development and committed research & development (R&D) spending, which has built a 100-strong drug pipeline addressing unmet needs in areas as diverse as oncology, obesity, and multiple sclerosis.
Looking through short-term volatility and uncertainty, we remain confident in the long-term prospects of the portfolio and are excited by our exposure to high-quality companies with excellent sustainability tailwinds.

Strategy update: Q1 2024
European Sustainability strategy update: 1 January - 31 March 2024
Following a stronger performance profile in the last quarter of 2023, the first quarter of 2024 has been relatively flat. The strategy portfolio performance was behind the MSCI AC Europe Index which was boosted in part by easing monetary policy and hopes for a soft economic landing.
During the quarter we took the opportunity to build up some of the newer positions we added in 2023, including Teqnion (Sweden: Industrials), the founder owned, serial acquirer of diverse businesses; Nexans (France: Industrials), the maker of electrical cabling used in renewable energy, and DiscoverIE (United Kingdom: Industrials), a manufacturer of niche electronics and manufacturing businesses. We also took the opportunity to add to our holding in Endava (United Kingdom: Information Technology) which suffered a sharp sell-off over market concerns about weaker discretionary spend from customers. While the company may face short-term uncertainty due to macro conditions, we feel confident backing its culture, stewardship and long-term growth potential.
Judges Scientific (United Kingdom: Industrials), the largest position in the strategy, continues to demonstrate resilient growth, and we remain excited about its potential, given it is still early on in its growth journey.
Valuation concerns and a need to manage position sizes led us to trim positions in Ringkjøbing Landbobank (Denmark: Financials), Nemetschek (Germany: Information Technology) and Adyen (Netherlands: Financials). Adyen had a particularly strong quarter, rising more than 145%1 since a period of weakness last year.
Over the course of the quarter, we exited Komerční banka (Czech Republic: Financials) to make room for two faster growing eastern European companies: Dino Polska (Poland: Consumer Staples), a vertically integrated, low-cost grocery retailer, and Allegro (Poland: Consumer Staples), Poland’s number one e-commerce platform that is expanding into Eastern Europe.
As ever, we continue to focus on long-term capital preservation as the bedrock of capital appreciation, and on ensuring the portfolio can weather most macro environments. Looking forward, we are excited by the quality, and diverse nature of the companies we hold, and their ability to contribute to, and benefit from, sustainable development.

Strategy update: Q4 2023
European Sustainability strategy update: 1 October - 31 December 2023
Strong performance in Q4 propelled overall performance for the year convincingly into positive territory. Nonetheless 2023 will be remembered for market turbulence and fluctuations in the performance of the strategy.
The period from August through to October was especially difficult. Many macroeconomic worries that had weighed on equity markets at different times earlier in the year came to a head: monetary and fiscal policy tightness across European economies, the threat of recession and stagnation, falling real wages, declining household savings and spending, vulnerable housing markets, and slowing demand from China.
However, sentiment improved markedly in the final quarter as a consensus emerged that interest rates have peaked. Yields plummeted and valuations rose as markets celebrated a more benign inflation outlook and the possibility that the monetary policy tightening cycle is over, the industrial cycle turning, and demand recovering.
All but six of the 43 portfolio holdings rose over the quarter. Valuation concerns and a need to manage position sizes led us to trim positions in Admiral (United Kingdom: Financials), bioMérieux (France: Health Care), Atlas Copco (Sweden: Industrials), DHL Group (Germany: Industrials), and Infineon Technologies (Germany: Information Technology). We also sold the small remaining position in Rational (Germany: Industrials). The company has a limited range of products which we are concerned could face growing competitive and pricing pressures.
We made no new purchases, but took advantage of attractive valuation opportunities to increase shareholdings in EPAM Systems (United States: Information Technology), Jerónimo Martins (Portugal: Consumer Staples), Alfen (Netherlands: Industrials), Elisa (Finland: Communication Services), and Judges Scientific (United Kingdom: Industrials).
Over the course of the year our main concerns were to: 1) maintain and improve portfolio diversification and defensiveness; 2) maintain valuation discipline; and 3) take advantage of compelling valuation opportunities. In total we sold out of five holdings and introduced seven new names into the portfolio.
We replaced a handful of industrial companies because they became too expensive and/or their competitive positioning less convincing to us. They included Beijer Ref (Sweden: Industrials), Nibe Industrier (Sweden: Industrials), Tomra (Norway: Industrials), and Rational (mentioned previously). We also sold Diploma (United Kingdom: Industrials) to make room in the portfolio for DiscoverIE (United Kingdom: Industrials), a somewhat similar company to Diploma, although earlier in its evolution, and less expensive.
The four industrial companies we brought into the portfolio were Nexans (France: Industrials), Teqnion (Sweden: Industrials), Assa Abloy (Sweden: Industrials), and Addtech (Sweden: Industrials). All apart from Nexans have contributed positively to performance. The other two new positions were in EPAM Systems (mentioned previously) and Endava (United States: Information Technology). Both looked beaten up when we bought them, and both have strengthened since.
The most disappointing aspect of performance in 2023 was the damage done by the health care holdings, many of which were among the larger portfolio positions, precisely because we expect them to be resilient and steady compounders over the long term.
Three of the five largest detractors from performance were DiaSorin (Italy: Health Care), Roche (Switzerland: Health Care), and Carl Zeiss Meditec (Germany: Health Care). The other two big detractors were Alfen (Netherlands: Industrials) and Tecan (Switzerland: Health Care). We could have been less eager and slower adding to all five holdings as they fell.
The top five performance contributions in 2023 came from holdings in Inficon (Switzerland: Information Technology), Atlas Copco, DHL Group, Teqnion (all mentioned previously), and Spectris (United Kingdom: Information Technology); we reduced shareholdings in all except Teqnion and Spectris.
We have no ability to forecast markets, though it wouldn’t surprise us if 2024 presents a complex market environment with contradictory forces and signals. Optimism about equities may be running higher than it has for a couple of years, but markets have been swift to price in lower interest rates and some company valuations are already starting to look stretched. Easier financial conditions may be on the horizon, but money and credit remain tight in many economies. We may not yet have seen the full impacts of the tightening cycle we have been through. If economic activity fails to pick up, or contracts, company earnings could come under renewed pressure, and balance sheet strength and liquidity could be tested.
We enter 2024 with a portfolio of what we believe to be adaptable, high-quality, great sustainability companies, with consistent cash flow capabilities, and strong competitive positions in different market segments. The leaders of these companies understand the value of staying close to their customers. They steward their balance sheets carefully. They ensure their companies are as well placed to deal with emergent risks as they are to capitalise on long-term opportunities.
We will stay focused on the long-term, fundamental prospects of the companies we hold and those we are watching closely. Although we like the composition and shape of the portfolio, we will keep searching for companies that might improve overall portfolio risk-return characteristics. We will be vigilant about trimming holdings that become expensive and adding to those that present compelling valuations opportunities.

Strategy update: Q3 2023
European Sustainability strategy update: 1 July - 30 September 2023
In what was a turbulent quarter for many financial markets, European equities felt the chilling effects of fears about recession and economic stagnation in the eurozone, rising yields, persistent monetary and fiscal policy tightness, resurgent energy prices, falling real wages, a depletion of household savings built up during the pandemic, lacklustre retail spending, fragile housing markets, and slowing demand from China.
The strategy registered a painful decline, more than erasing the gains of the first half of the year. The share prices of all but a quarter of portfolio holdings fell, and a handful experienced double-digit declines. The largest negative contribution came from Adyen (Netherlands: Financials), a facilitator of e-commerce, mobile, and point-of-sale payments. The share price fell sharply after the company reported weaker US revenue growth and margin pressure arising from increased hiring.
Alfen (Netherlands: Industrials) a provider of smart grids, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and energy storage solutions, also fell as sales in their EV charging station segment weakened due to customer destocking. And DiscoverIE (UK: Industrials), a serial acquirer of niche electronics design and manufacturing businesses, de-rated against an uncertain macro backdrop and concern that higher interest rates will curtail the growth contribution of acquisitions.
Positive contributions came from Admiral Group (UK: Financials), a UK auto and home insurance provider; Bechtle (Germany: Information Technology), a pan-European provider of IT infrastructure and services; and EPAM Systems (US: Information Technology), the Eastern European IT consulting and digital transformation services company which was added to the portfolio in Q2.
Two new companies were brought into the portfolio last quarter. Addtech (Sweden: Industrials) is a family-stewarded acquirer and long-term owner of more than 150 electrification, clean energy, automation, and process technology businesses. These tend to be relatively small private businesses with leading market positions, led by exceptional management teams. The business model is highly decentralised and the acquisition philosophy fosters entrepreneurship, collaboration and accountability. We took advantage of a compelling opportunity after the company de-rated.
Endava (US: Information Technology) was also added to the portfolio as its valuation became attractive. It is a founder-controlled provider of digital transformation consultancy services, mainly to customers active in payments, financial services and the technology, media and telecommunications sector. An entrepreneurial, flexible, team-focused culture has enabled successful expansion and scaling of the business. Around three-quarters of the workforce are in the greater-European region, but Endava’s revenue base and delivery footprint are expanding in the Americas and Asia.
In an effort to further improve portfolio diversification and resilience, we increased positions in Beiersdorf (Germany: Consumer Staples) and Unilever (UK: Consumer Staples). We also added to several holdings as they became more attractively valued, including Adyen (previously mentioned), Indutrade (Sweden: Industrials), an industrial holding company with over 200 subsidiaries; Assa Abloy (Sweden: Industrials), a leader in locks, doors and intelligent security systems; and Roche (Switzerland: Health Care), a developer of biologic drugs for rare diseases and in-vitro diagnostics.
Caution about valuations, position sizes and risk-return prospects led us to trim positions in Vitec Software (Sweden: Information Technology), a serial acquirer of leading niche software businesses; Sartorius (Germany: Health Care), a provider of laboratory and drug development technologies; ALK-Abelló (Denmark: Health Care), the global leader in allergen immunotherapy treatments; and Bechtle and Admiral (among the positive contributors mentioned previously).
Economic risks and headwinds are intensifying and multiplying. We ask ourselves repeatedly if the portfolio is as resilient as it can be. We have conviction in the quality of the companies we hold, and we like the composition and shape of the portfolio. However, we never stop searching for companies that might improve overall portfolio risk-return characteristics.
Patience and a long-term focus are especially important at a time like this. We challenge ourselves to look through short-term noise and take advantage of attractive valuation opportunities. And we remain just as vigilant about trimming positions in companies whose valuations become stretched.

During the quarter there were 583 resolutions from 30 companies to vote on. On behalf of clients, we voted against 15 resolutions.
We voted against proposals regarding transaction of business at Alcon, Naturenergie, INFICON, SFS and Tecan as the companies provided insufficient detail on the proposal and we wish to avoid unfettered discretion. (five resolutions)
We voted against remuneration motions at Assa Abloy as we believe acquisitive businesses should incentivise management on returns as well as shares held. (two resolutions)
We voted against the appointment of the auditor at bioMérieux, EPAM Systems, Indutrade, SFS, Spirax Group and Unilever as they have been in place for over 10 years and the companies’ have given no information on intended rotation. We believe rotating an auditor on a relatively frequent basis (e.g. every 5-10 years) helps to ensure a fresh pair of eyes are examining the accounts, and follows best practice. (six resolutions)
We voted against remuneration motions at Indutrade due to concerns on direction of travel and compounding effects of CEO salary increases. (one resolution)
We voted against a shareholder proposal regarding board declassification at EPAM Systems as we do not deem it necessary for all directors to stand for election annually and believe this could destabilise the board by allowing excessive turnover. (one resolution)
