Looking more globally, in Europe stock markets fell quite significantly in October. Franceโ€™s CAC 40 fell 3.5%, Germanyโ€™s DAX fell 3.7% and the UKโ€™s FTSE 100 fell 3.8%. With this context, and given that almost 20% of our portfolio is invested in French companies, Iโ€™m quite pleased with our October performance. I made a few changes to the portfolio in October, the most material being the sale of Schneider Electric (SU.PA) and Thermo Fisher (TMO), and the subsequent purchase of two new holdings, Lโ€™Oreal ($OR.PA (LOreal SA)) and Safran ($SAF.PA (SAFRAN)). I also topped up our holding in Microsoft, which performed well this month. Our largest detractor was $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation), which is our largest position and fell just over 6% in October, and $MSCI (MSCI Inc), which lost 8% during the month. Our largest contributors were $MSFT (Microsoft) and $NVO (Novo-Nordisk A/S SPONS ADR), two other large positions, both gaining just over 6% in October.
