The year 2025 continues to deliver a mixed but highly dynamic market environment, with clear divergences across sectors and regions. Overall, the portfolio has maintained a stable upward trajectory, supported by disciplined risk management and a selective approach to asset allocation.
The first quarter was marked by ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐.๐. ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ, particularly within large-cap tech names that faced earnings revisions and a more cautious investor sentiment following the strong rally in 2024. This early-year weakness required tactical adjustments, favouring fundamentally solid positions with more reliable short- to mid-term catalysts.
At the same time, several non-U.S. exposures delivered ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ , ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ค๐๐ญ-๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฌ, most notably:
๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ข๐๐ง ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ซ $CSIQ (Canadian Solar Inc.) which reported an excellent last quarter driven by margin improvement, strong utility-scale demand, and steady growth in its global project pipeline. The stock benefited from renewed interest in the solar sector and easing production-cost pressures.
๐๐๐ฒ๐๐ซ $BAYN.DE (Bayer AG) which exceeded expectations in its latest quarterly results thanks to solid performance in the pharma division and ongoing cost-structure optimisation. Despite structural challenges, improving cash generation and strategic refocusing have contributed to renewed investor confidence.
These performances helped offset volatility from more cyclical areas, allowing the portfolio to maintain a consistent risk-return profile aligned with the 2025 objectives.
In the coming weeks, I will release a detailed post outlining the ๐๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐, a year that is shaping up to be particularly important due to the numerous macroeconomic opportunities linked to new investment cycles, evolving monetary policies, and renewed momentum in energy, industrial, and technology sectors.
The priorities remain unchanged: ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ก, ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง, and long-term capital protection. Staying focused.
