We have traditionally focused heavily on the United States. After a strong first half of the year, we slightly reduced our exposure there in favor of Europe. We remain cautious of Asia." says Victor Zwart, CEO and head of the growth strategy.

Victor Zwart explains, "for the growth strategy, we reduced our exposure to the American market by taking profits. Traditionally, we have been overweight in the United States. Our stocks have undergone a significant rally, led by technology as a major driver and key component. We have taken some profits in that area and scaled back our position.”

Conversely, our exposure to Europe was increased primarily because European stocks are trading at a much lower valuation. "Economic growth expectations for the next year were also higher in Europe, whereas in the United States, growth was expected to taper off. However, the United States is home to several dominant innovative technology companies.

Naard Broeckaert, Partner and head of the value strategy, states that the focus is on certain sectors that didn't perform as well in the first semester, despite being strong performers the previous year. As a result, "we believe we were able to acquire shares at very attractive valuations," explains Naard Broeckaert.

"Within our value strategy, our asset allocation has seen little change. It's important to realize that we invest in real companies where management and employees work to create value. Therefore, we consider not only stock price increases but also value creation," emphasizes Naard Broeckaert.
