Market developments per 2019-04-30
In April the Fund (I-class) increased by 6.5% (net of fees), versus a 4.6% increase for the MSCI Europe small-cap index. Year to date, the Fund (I-class) increased by 22.4% (net of fees) versus a 19.5% increase of the benchmark.
Portfolio developments per 2019-04-30
In April we have expanded our portfolio with one new name: Hikma Pharmaceuticals. During the month we have also closed our position in Implenia.
The best performing companies were Addtech, Brembo and Kingspan. Addtech (+17%) did not issue relevant press releases during the month. In our view the share price increase was driven by generally buoyant market sentiment for European small cap industrial companies. Brembo (+16%) shares performed strongly as its chairman announced that the controlling family would accept the reduction of their stake below 50% in case of a sizeable acquisition. Kingspan’s (+14%) share price increased supported by general positive market sentiment on top of which the group announced the intention to acquire two units of the Belgian Recticel. However, Recticel subsequently announced not to be willing to pursue this offer.
The weakest performers were Fabege, TAKKT and Viscofan. Fabege (-3%) reported first quarter results in line with expectations. Both rental income and net operating income rose 19%, to SEK 718m and SEK 509m respectively. The pipeline of new projects screens well, but the company faces some cost increases in these projects. TAKKT (-4%) reported a strong start of the year. The organic sales growth of 5% in 1Q 2019 is well balanced between EU & US and in line with previous three quarters. Despite the strong start of the year the company reiterates FY19 guidance of ‘slight’ organic sales growth suggesting a slowdown in the remainder of the year. Although partly explained by a more difficult comparison basis, management is also cautious on the macro environment given the deterioration in leading macroeconomic indicators. The unchanged FY19 12-16% EBITDA margin guidance looks realistic given the 12.7% shown in the first quarter and the cost savings measures that management plans to implement in case sales growth slows. Viscofan (-4%) shares were weak as the African Swine Fever outbreak in China continues to worsen with pork production loss in China of 25-35% in 2019, possibly impacting Viscofan’s earnings later in the year.
ESG commentary
Corporate governance is an important constituent in our investment decision making process. We promote governance codes around the world and have participated in several consultations in European markets. With the revision of the German Corporate Governance Code in 2019, investors’ attention is raised for board independence and remuneration practices. We previously engaged with our portfolio company SAF-Holland, an auto components manufacturer, on board independence and are pleased to see a majority independent board since the 2019 AGM. In addition, we appreciate the company signing the UN Global Compact in the beginning of the year.

To put our vision into action we engage with our investment targets on a wide array of strategic, financial, environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics. Our long-term investment worldview paired with thorough analysis and an experienced and diverse ESG team allow us to use both voting and engagement as means to consistently encourage positive change.

Our fund approach to Responsible Investment
Exclude
Exclude investment in entities involved in the production tobacco and of controversial weapons, such as cluster munitions, anti-personnel mines, nuclear warheads, chemical and biological weapons
For the sustainable strategies exclude adult entertainment, alcohol, animal testing, fur, gambling, GMO, nuclear energy, thermal coal and weaponry.
Integrate
We undertake our own fundamental ESG research on each company
Then an independent sustainability consultant checks the scores which drives the rating
We will only invest in companies that have either a Provisional or Pass rating
If a company receives a Fail rating then we will not invest
Engage
ESG engagement can enhance performance through increasing upside potential and mitigating downside risk
We believe that all companies face ESG issues and that it is important to address these before and during investment
As long-term shareholders it is our fiduciary duty to consistently encourage positive change through engagement and exercising proxy voting rights
