Fund Description

The Fund is managed in accordance with Shariah principles and invests in a concentrated portfolio of Shariah compliant global equity securities. Fund managers Nudgem Richyal and Christopher Lees believe stock markets are inefficient and aim to exploit market anomalies via an investment process that combines both top-down and bottom-up research. Their distinct “4-Dimensional” investment process (stocks, sectors, countries, time/change) focuses on the behaviour of each share price to determine whether the most important driver of each prospective investment is stock specific, sector or country-based. The Fund invests in both developed and emerging markets, with the fund managers frequently drawing upon the stocks ideas generated by our regional equity teams.

  • Christopher and Nudgem have a growth at a reasonable price (GARP) investment philosophy, which is sometimes described as core with a growth bias. They aim for consistency of returns, by exploiting multiple market anomalies/inefficiencies.
  • Growth and value disciplines are combined to help avoid the volatility that can occur in a single-style strategy, therefore to obtain better risk-adjusted returns over the medium and long term.
  • Mean reversion and trend are proven predictors of risk and return.
  • They look for stocks, sectors and countries that have displayed long term underperformance (3 to 5 years) followed by short term outperformance (6 to 12 months).
  • They believe that markets are not efficient and correlations/betas change over time. They have a four-dimensional investment process (stocks, sectors, countries, time/change), with factors weighted to what actually drives each share price.
Reasons To Invest
  • More and more investors realise that “uncorrelated alpha” is more effective to obtain by combining different managers, rather than different asset classes.
  • As a high alpha, benchmark-unconstrained fund, this is a good satellite to a core of index funds.
  • Clients with a home country bias will probably find that the Fund improves their risk/reward metrics.
  • Christopher and Nudgem’s GARP style, all capitalisation portfolio, active sector and country allocations, are useful to clients without the resources to dedicate to growth/value, large cap/small cap, sector/geography decisions.

Investment Objective

The JOHCM Global Select Shariah Fund aims to achieve its objective by investing in a portfolio of Shariah compliant global equity securities listed on any Recognised Market. Under normal market environments it is the intention to be near-fully invested, and at no time will less than 80% of the Fund’s total net assets be invested in such securities. The benchmark of the Fund is the MSCI ACWI Islamic Index but the Fund will be managed on an ‘unconstrained basis’ with no restrictions in terms of regional or sector allocation versus this benchmark.

Strategy Highlights

As at 31 October 2023

October was a ‘risk-off’ month as global equity markets fell, with defensives outperforming cyclicals and large caps outperforming small and mid-caps. Earnings season has been particularly challenging for equities as stocks that have beaten and raised expectations are not showing much alpha on the day of results, and rising less than their beat and raise would suggest. Meanwhile, stocks missing earnings guidance or expectations are being de-rated aggressively on the day of results and falling more than expected. It seems the market has moved into a phase where bad news is bad news, and we think it is a market environment where we need to continue to be more ruthless in our sell discipline.

After a period of underperformance, small and mid-cap earnings look like they are beginning to ‘hockey stick positive’ relative to the global index, but their relative price has not really improved yet. Large-cap relative earnings and relative price have just ‘ticked down’ during this earnings season for the first time after a long period of outperformance. We think this might be the beginning of a trend change for large-caps versus small and mid-cap. We are already underweight large-caps and overweight mid-caps, so we have not made any significant changes to the portfolio.
 

The fund underperformed the benchmark in October. The best performing holdings were Vitesco Technologies, Novo Nordisk and Danone. Conversely, our worst performing holdings were Microsoft, SUSS MicroTec and Capstone Copper, and we are reviewing these holdings.
 
Looking forward, there is statistically a very high probability that the 10 largest US stocks that have significantly outperformed the global index so far this year will start underperforming and other stocks/sectors/regions will start outperforming as we head into 2024. Our scenario analysis is currently:

Scenario 1 = 5% probability of the top 10 largest US mega-cap stocks continue to outperform. New bull market leadership is not usually the old bull market leaders, but we do recognise that several things are “different this time,” eg AI, and Cold War 2.0.

Scenario 2 = 45% probability of a broadening bull market. Statistically, there is now a high probability the largest 10 US stocks start underperforming and other stocks/sectors/regions start outperforming. China stabilising next year would be a catalyst for this positive scenario, particularly for Europe, Japan and Emerging Markets who are more export dependent to China than the US.

Scenario 3 = 50% probability of a sideways zigzag or a new bear market. Historically after similar periods of concentration, market returns were modestly below historical averages with underperformance from the previous top 10 stocks over the following 12 months. The US Federal Reserve excessively increasing interest rates next year would be a catalyst for this negative scenario in which most asset classes, sectors and regions would struggle.

Global risks and opportunities are clearly changing as we head into 2024. The recent sharp rise in US long-end rates is now becoming a headwind for equities. However, there’s no sense that equity markets are pricing in an increased risk of a US recession yet, and credit spreads remain remarkably stable despite rising delinquencies. So it looks like financial markets are currently pricing in a soft landing, which sets up an asymmetry heading into 2024: if the landing is soft, it’s in the price; if it’s hard, it’s not priced. A lot depends on China stabilising or recovering/deteriorating in 2024.
