CommentaryGlobal equities had a mixed start to the new year in January as initial gains were wiped out by a steep sell-off at the end of the month.Stockmarkets climbed initially, as optimism that the roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines will support a global economic recovery and theprospect of a new stimulus package in the US lifted investor sentiment.However, share prices subsequently retreated amid growing concerns about new coronavirus variants and the economic impact of furtherlockdowns.In this unsettled environment, the MSCI Europe Net Return Index fell 0.7%. At the sector level, returns were mixed. Information technologycontinued to perform well, driven by robust demand for memory chips. Energy stocks also rose as oil prices were supported by producers’plans to curb supply. Materials gained as well. In contrast, financials and real estate were notable laggards.In terms of style, ‘value’ was broadly in line with the market. The fund was able to participate in the value rally in the first half of the monthand retain some of that performance in the subsequent sell-off.Against this background, the fund’s return was ahead of the benchmark index. Stock selection in information technology added value withFinnish telecom equipment firm Nokia a leading contributor. Nokia’s share price climbed on the back of multiple deals to provide 5Gequipment. The stock then surged in a rally driven by retail investors linked to the Reddit website. The fund tactically took some profit inthis rally. Swedish peer Ericsson also advanced after reporting strong sales of 5G equipment and higher margins.In materials, stainless steelmakers Aperam and Outokumpu made positive contributions too as they extended their positive momentumfrom the end of last year. Oil giant BP added value as energy stocks were buoyed by higher oil prices.We feel many of our holdings are seeing positive share price moves as the market looks through immediate COVID-related challenges andbegins to anticipate inflation in certain areas of the economy.In contrast, weakness among our financial holdings held back relative returns. Irish lender Bank of Ireland and UK banks NatWest andLloyds cost some performance as their share prices retreated after rallying in the final quarter of 2020.Our holdings in UK hotel operator Whitbread and low cost airline easyJet also detracted as their shares fell on plans to introduce toughquarantine rules.

Key changesWe identified a number of new holdings in January, including Luxembourg-based steelmaker ArcelorMittal. The company has madesignificant changes, reducing debt and making disposals, and we think it is now focusing on becoming better, not bigger. In our view,ArcelorMittal is also well placed to benefit from any post-COVID economic stimulus plans and a shift to a zero carbon world, which is likelyto be steel intensive.Indra Sistemas, a Spanish IT services and solutions company, also joined the portfolio. We think the firm is attractive valued and investorsare overlooking the potential for margin improvement and possible disposals.French utility firm Engie and UK food ingredients company Tale & Lyle also joined the portfolio.On the other hand, we sold our entire stake in UK pharmaceutical company Vectura and trimmed our positions in UK retailer Next andNokia following recent share price gains.
