Latest News & Updates For Perpetual Wholesale International Share

Perpetual Wholesale International Share Fund Commentary September 30, 2023

The Barrow Hanley Global Value strategy outperformed the MSCI World Index in September. The portfolios’ underweight to the Information Technology sector and overweight to the Energy and Financials sectors combined with effective selection in the Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, and Utilities sectors were the primary contributors to relative returns. Regionally, the portfolios’ overweight to the UK and effective selection in the U.S. and continental Europe were primary drivers to the strong relative returns.

After underperforming in the month of August, HSBC Holdings Plc was among the top contributors in September. At several industry conferences, HSBC’s management reiterated that credit costs related to the company’s Chinese real estate loan portfolio should remain manageable. In addition, one-month HIBOR rebounded meaningfully, which should support loan yields and net interest margin going forward. Management continues to execute on simplifying the business and exiting non-core/lower-returning businesses while controlling expenses and returning excess capital to shareholders.

Cigna Group benefited from the strength in Health Care stocks in September, up strongly in a down market. Cigna noted in the month that health care utilization trends are tracking in line with expectations of its current guidance, likely helping to provide some positive sentiment around the stock. We continue to see Cigna trading at a meaningful valuation discount to its peers.

Southwest Airlines Co. underperformed in September as the company guided lower on higher fuel costs and lower revenue per available seat mile (RASM). During the month we reduced our position in the security as we look to monitor whether the headwinds Southwest is currently facing are temporary and adjustments being made by company management will be able to overcome these headwinds. Oracle Corporation underperformed in September in sympathy with the Information Technology sector combined with its having reported a mixed quarter in the month. As the stock had been a very strong performer in the portfolio, we sold our position in the month.

Historical Performance Commentary

Performance Commentary - August 31, 2023

Challenging stock selection in the Financials, Consumer Discretionary, and Health Care sectors offset effective selection in the Industrials and Consumer Staples sectors. The portfolios’ overweight to the Materials and Utilities sectors detracted further from relative returns while an overweight to Energy benefitted relative returns. Regionally, challenging selection in the portfolios’ emerging markets and U.S. holdings detracted from relative returns, offsetting effective selection in continental Europe and Japan.

Vertiv Holdings Co. Class A continued its strong performance in the month of August. Vertiv has benefitted from the excitement around Artificial Intelligence (AI) and, after reporting strong results earlier in the month, received an additional boost with NVIDIA posting strong results and comments about strong demand and positive comments around data center operators.

BAE Systems plc performed strongly in August, reporting very strong first half year results with EPS beating by 13%. Both near- and medium-term guidance have been upgraded and the company’s buyback program has been extended/increased. BAE also announced the acquisition of Ball Aerospace in the month. This potential deal has been rumored for some time and appears strategically sound, though there is some risk with the integration of the new asset which we will watch closely.

Banco Bradesco SA Pfd underperformed in August as the company posted disappointing results early in the month. Net income was in line with expectations, though was boosted by a low effective tax rate as pretax income was -8% below consensus. Further, operating results for both loan growth and net interest income (NII) were softer than expected. Despite disappointing results, we remain comfortable with our position as we expect better results in the second half of the year.

Ralph Lauren Corporation Class A detracted from performance last month despite posting better-than-consensus results with EPS up 24% year-over-year. The company largely maintained full year guidance, though the market perceived September quarter guidance as soft which pressured the stock lower. We recognize that the softer guidance for the quarter is due to the company tilting more marketing spend this quarter relative to a year ago, which does not raise concerns about our investment thesis.

  • SMSF Mate is a unique website because it has ideas about how to approach SMSFs, insurance and other financial topics that come straight from first hand experience. It's much more useful than what you find on all the other financial websites that just offer generic info that you could easily get on the ATO's website. It's also nice to know there's no financial incentive behind the information, it's legitimately there to help people understand self-managed super funds and how to get the most out of them, not to get an affiliate commission from a broker or other financial services provider. The investment product information is also incredibly useful, I've never seen this kind of functionality on any other website that let's you look at such a wide range of products, sort by what info is most interesting or important to you, and subscribe to updates for different funds and financial products all in one place. Definitely worth checking out if you own or are considering an SMSF!
