"The Carmignac Portfolio Tech Solutions fund returned +43.45% in Q2 2026, underperforming its benchmark as speculative semiconductor names led a highly concentrated rally. Tactically, the fund is shifting away from speculative hardware and hyperscalers, redeploying capital into high-quality leaders like Nvidia and developer software companies poised to capture enterprise-scale AI deployment."
The Carmignac Portfolio Tech Solutions fund focuses on high-quality, resilient technology companies that benefit from the structural shift toward artificial intelligence industrialization. During the second quarter of 2026, the fund gained +43.45%, slightly underperforming its reference indicator's return of +48.98% due to stock selection and underweight positioning in certain US semiconductor names. The market environment was highly momentum-driven, with initial AI enthusiasm spreading to lower-quality semiconductor names and inflating valuations. While hardware and AI memory demand supported exceptional returns for Asian holdings like SK Hynix and TSMC, software names like Microsoft acted as performance detractors. In response, the manager has tactically reduced exposure to hyperscalers and speculative semiconductor stocks, opting to focus on high-quality leaders like Nvidia. Over the medium term, the manager expects the AI landscape to enter a new phase focused on efficiency and enterprise-scale software adoption, supporting selective positions in developer software platforms like Atlassian and GitLab.

Risk Appetite
Assigned 0.50. The fund is taking a balanced posture, actively reducing exposure to high-beta, speculative tech sectors and shifting capital toward robust, cash-flow generative, higher-quality holdings.
Capital Deployment
Assigned 0.50. The manager is actively rebalancing the portfolio by reducing exposure to hyperscalers and speculative semiconductor names to fund additions to higher-quality tech leaders and software. No significant overall cash accumulation or reduction is noted.
Forward Guidance

Language Signal
Assigned 0.55. The language used shows a mix of bullish enthusiasm for structural AI opportunities and notable caution regarding speculative bubbles, high infrastructure costs, and hawkish monetary policy.
Perceived Risk
Assigned 0.65. Significant risks are identified, including potential demand destruction from rising infrastructure costs, aggressive valuations in lower-quality semiconductor names, and hawkish central banks.
Opportunity Density
Assigned 0.60. Opportunities are viewed as increasingly selective, requiring a migration from over-indexed semiconductor momentum plays into higher-quality, valued technology and developer software.
Time Horizon
Assigned 0.75. The investment thesis is framed around a multi-year industrialization and enterprise-scale deployment phase of artificial intelligence, rather than short-term catalyst trading.
