- New positionOHBJun 2026
Other new positions included OHB, a key beneficiary of the Space / Satellite theme, Novo Nordisk within the obesity market, EssilorLuxottica, a favoured play on wearable AI, and Tencent, increasing our exposure to China technology.
Within the financials sector, a combination of limited upside to our current price targets and a declining T-Score in our risk systems led us to reduce the overall exposure by selling out of Mastercard, ICICI Bank and The London Stock Exchange.
We also sold M3 on T-Score/factor considerations within healthcare and a view it could be an AI loser, and exited Novonesis where we saw limited upside and less confidence in inflation pass-through.
We added exposure to hardware and compute through purchases of TSMC and STMicro, which also increased regional exposure to Taiwan and Europe respectively.
