"The Impax Global Environmental Markets Fund outperformed its benchmark in Q2 2025, driven by AI-related IT tailwinds and grid resilience holdings, while maintaining zero exposure to the volatile renewables sector."
The Impax Global Environmental Markets Fund delivered robust positive returns in Q2 2025, outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI Index. Key drivers of absolute and relative performance included Information Technology, specifically Cloud Computing and Semiconductors, which benefited from AI-related tailwinds and solid earnings. The portfolio's Industrials exposure, notably Smart & Efficient Grids and Buildings Energy Efficiency holdings like Hubbell and Schneider Electric, also rebounded as AI physical infrastructure concerns abated. Conversely, Health Care detracted slightly, impacted by the US Administration's efforts to moderate drug pricing under the impending 'Big Beautiful Bill' (BBB), which weighed on environmental testing holdings like Waters and Mettler-Toledo. Despite volatility surrounding Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs and geopolitical tensions, the investment team is constructive on selective active management. They maintain high-quality defensive 'ballast' exposure in oligopolies like waste & recycling and industrial gases. Importantly, the fund clarifies that it has zero exposure to the Renewables sector, shielding it from direct climate policy headwinds while positioning itself to capitalize on broader secular environmental, demographic, and technological trends.
