Quick Take

"ACATIS maintains selective exposure to AI infrastructure winners including semiconductor equipment makers and cloud providers while pursuing high-conviction opportunities in Argentine reform plays and energy transition metals."

Executive Summary

ACATIS delivered mixed performance across funds in September, with Asian and German equity funds outperforming while global funds lagged. The firm's investment approach centers on identifying undervalued companies benefiting from structural trends, particularly AI infrastructure and energy transition. Semiconductor equipment manufacturers including Lam Research, Lasertec, and TSMC drove strong performance as AI demand continues supporting pricing power and capacity utilization. The manager added positions in AI beneficiaries like Salesforce and Celestica while maintaining exposure to the semiconductor cycle. Argentina represents a high-risk, high-reward opportunity under President Milei's radical economic reforms, with potential for explosive banking sector growth if remonetarization succeeds. The firm also sees opportunities in telemedicine through Hims & Hers and energy transition metals via KGHM. Risk factors include Argentine political uncertainty, deglobalization challenges, and AI-driven employment disruption. The outlook remains selectively optimistic with focus on companies positioned for structural growth trends while maintaining value discipline.
