ENAV grew by 12% y/y and came in at €10.1bn or €307ps. We see the NAV growth as further evidence of operational excellence of portfolio companies and rebound in both activity and valuations across PE and VC. NAV growth was mainly driven by Sofina Growth which rose, during 2H FY24, by 15.8% to ~€2.2bn. As expected, EG Software is now one of the top-10 investments in the portfolio. During FY24, Sofina invested in Cyera ($3bn valuation), Finova Capital ($728m valuation) and Vivobarefoot while parti...

However, the Trump election victory in the US hits European stocks even before he tak...
BE-REITS suffer from macro-worries (logistics) and post-Trump knee-jerk reaction. We believe that especially money flows are pushing stocks down as interest rate fears resurfaced in the US. Our top-picks are Shurgard, WDP and Xior. SHUR and WDP have ample headroom on their balance sheet to continue their growth track record. WDP is also very cheap on cash earnings metrics vs. peers. Xior can grow and fix its balance sheet at the same time through contributions in kind.

With 2 changes in our Dynamic Top Pick list (we add Azelis and we remove Solvay) we maintain a defensive stance on the market for 2H24. The long anticipated interest rate cuts by central banks have finally started. The Trump election victory in the US does not bode well for European stocks as he favours a protectionist course. Although industrial companies with a US base could actually benefit. Cleantech names with exposure to the US could also suffer (unless owned by E.Musk). We expect the US ...
