Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"The fund underperformed its benchmark in Q4 2025 due to weakness in cyclical/materials exposures, but the managers remain constructively positioned for 2026 by focusing on environmental solutions to AI's high power demands."
Executive Summary
The Impax Global Environmental Markets Fund underperformed its MSCI ACWI index benchmark in Q4 2025, primarily dragged down by Materials and Industrials holdings amid softer US residential construction and a market rotation towards AI-led growth. Absolute performance was supported by Information Technology holdings. Moving into 2026, the team maintains cautious optimism, focusing on high-quality companies with pricing power and secular tailwinds like AI energy solutions, and maintaining defensive positions in Waste & Recycling and Industrial Gases.
