In January, PHILEAS EQUITY EUROPE fell back by 2.01% as its benchmark, MSCI
Europe net return, fell back by 0.74%.
Following a slightly positive start to the month, the fund’s drawdown happened
over the space of end of January. The fall was primarily due to significant profit
taking on the portfolio’s most consensual positions. Regarding this type of tempora-
ry trading pattern, we reacted by maintaining our positions in those stocks we
believe have been over-penalised.
- In Services/IT, the IT segment suffered from falls in Avast, Adobe and Capgemini.
As nothing in particular triggered the fall, we continue to hold the positions that
we believe have significant upward potential. In contrast, we sold our Experian
position because the rise in US interest rates could be detrimental to its mort-
gage refinancing business. The emergence of new strains of COVID-19 penalised
the performance of stocks such as Compass and Amadeus. We continue to hold
these high-quality names, which will benefit from any improvement in the
health situation.
- In Consumer Discretionary, both Puma and EssilorLuxottica fell for no other reason
than the wave of profit taking referred to above. We continue to believe in both
stocks and see even greater upside potential than at the beginning of the year.
Although the timing was less than perfect, we closed out our Pandora position.
The stock is coming off a fine run in 2020 and both lockdown uncertainties and
higher silver prices, which will hit its gross margins, have combined to make us
more cautious.
