Management commentary
August 2023
The month of August, punctuated by a number of economic announcements and statistics in lower-than-normal volumes, pushed MACH’s strategy to the limit, and it sought to adapt by frequently making marked changes to its exposures.
During the first week of the month, the strategy is globally short sovereign bonds. It was long equities on August 1st and 2nd, with little exposure to equities thereafter. On August 2nd, the Fitch rating agency surprised the markets by downgrading the USA’s credit rating from AAA to AA+, citing budgetary concerns and a deterioration in governance due to political polarization. This announcement led to a fall in equities on the same day and the following day. The strategy recorded a loss over the period, particularly on the 2nd (on equities) and the 4th (on North American bonds).
The unexpected announcement by the Italian government on the evening of August 7th of a 40% tax on the “super-profits” of banks that had benefited from the rise in interest rates, caused a sharp fall in Italian bank shares on the 8th and had a domino effect on European markets. This measure also led to a rise in sovereign bonds, to which the strategy subsequently took very positive exposure, while gradually increasing its long equity exposure. The following day, in response to market reaction and concerns about banking stability, Giorgia Meloni’s government adjusted the proposed tax, limiting it to 0.1% of assets instead of 25%. This about-turn led to a rebound in European equities on August 9th. During this turbulent phase, the strategy reacted swiftly, but recorded declines due to sovereign bonds on the 8th, followed by US equities on the 9th.
The release of the better-than-expected US producer price index for July on August 11th sent equities lower and rates higher. This publication fuelled concerns about inflation and wage growth, rekindling the spectre of a possible Fed rate hike at its next meeting in September. Following the publication of this statistic, the strategy crystallized significant losses on European bonds and Asian equities, and then gained negative exposure to all asset classes. It maintained this short exposure until August 22nd, taking advantage of the fall in equity and bond markets from the 14th to the 17th. Rising bond yields, rising energy prices and growing concerns about the Chinese economy undermined investor enthusiasm over the period.
Finally, the strategy re-exposed itself positively to equities and bonds from the 23rd. European stock markets rebounded following the publication of economic slowdown data for the eurozone, reducing the risk of rate hikes by the ECB and leading to a rise in bonds. But investors remained on tenterhooks over the Fed’s monetary policy expectations, as data published on the 24th showed that weekly jobless claims had fallen in the USA, prompting some to fear that the Fed would prolong the period of high rates. Finally, from the 29th onwards, the release of encouraging data on the US employment front led to an easing in the bond market, with investors beginning to feel optimistic that the Fed would not raise key rates again.
The strategy posted a monthly net performance of -2,77 %* for Ouessant (A share) and et -7,51%* for Mach 3 (A share).
Below is a breakdown of Ouessant’s daily returns and cumulative returns contribution in August 2023** :

Main risks
Risk of capital loss
Any investment in equities presents a risk of capital loss. The investors may not regain their initial investment value. The Common Fund offers neither guarantee nor protection of the initial capital.
Model Risk
The management process is based on the development of a mathematical quantitative management model to identify signals based on past statistical results. There is a risk that this model should not be efficient, as there is no guarantee that past market situations will recur in the future.
Equity risk
Equity risk corresponds to a decline in equity markets. The funds being exposed to equities, the net asset value may fall significantly.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk corresponds to the risk associated with a rise in bond market rates, which causes a decrease in bond prices and, consequently, a fall in the net asset value of the funds, when exposed to this risk.
Credit risk
It represents the possible risk of a downgrade of the issuer’s signature and the risk that the issuer may not be able to meet its repayments, which will lead to a reduction in the net asset value of the funds.
Risk associated with commodities
The commodities components may have a significantly different evolution from the traditional securities markets (equities, bonds). The climatic and geopolitical factors may also alter the offer and demand levels of the considered underlying, in other words modify the expected rarity of this latter on the market. However the components belonging to the same commodities market among the three main represented, i.e. energy, metals or agricultural products, may have more strongly correlated evolutions with each other. An unfavourable evolution of these markets may make the fund Net Asset Value decrease.
Currency Risk
The portfolio may be invested in securities not denominated in euro. The deterioration in the exchange rate may result in a decrease in the net asset value. The investor is therefore exposed to a foreign exchange risk which can however be partially or totally hedged. Currency risk is included in our models.
Emerging market risk
The operating and supervision conditions of the emerging markets may deviate from standard prevailing on the international places; the information on some equities may be uncomplete and their liquidity more reduced. The evolution of these securities price may consequently vary very strongly and entail a decrease of the ETFs value invested on these markets and consequently the Net Asset Value of the Fund.
