Trading Advisor's Commentary
as ofMarket Review and Outlook
The performance of the Parus Fund (I EUR H share class) was +1.6% in June, bringing the YTD performance at +13.75% and the 1 year performance at +30.56%.
In June, the MSCI World was up +1.4% but in contrast to the previous months, Growth stocks meaningfully outperformed Value stocks for the first time since November 2020. For Parus, the main long contributors came from Pharma, Software, Media, and eCommerce/Retail, while most of the Value names in Travel and Financials contributed negatively, digesting a strong run from November to May. While the Delta variant pollutes the pace of reopening, especially for tourism and travel, data points remain supportive for most of our holdings. We continue to maintain a constructive view and a balanced mix of Growth and Value in the portfolio.
At the end of June, the net exposure of the Fund was 78.15% of the NAV, with a long exposure of 95.28% and a short exposure of 17.13%. The gross exposure was 112.42% of the NAV.
