Why Carmignac Investissement?
Carmignac Investissement: +12% annualized performance over 5 years*
The ability to identify thriving companies that capitalize on promising market dynamics and trends by leveraging on its global mandate, have contributed to the success of our EUR 4bn flagship strategy. However, complacency is not an option. The objective has always been to continuously evolve and reinforce the Fund’s capacity to keep its mandate intact.. With this in mind, Kristofer Barrett took over the strategy in April 2024.

A talented Fund manager supported by a strong team
Carmignac Know-How: Kristofer has support from the team of equity experts specializing in various sectors and geographic regions, who have played a crucial role in the performance of Carmignac Investissement over the past years.
A singular approach
- The aim is to look at everything with an holistic viewpoint. It's important to look at where the companies are in the value chain, their competitive edge and their technology and their business model. The Fund favours innovative companies, with strong ownership structure/management offering indispensable products.
- Price matters: We own companies trading at a price below their intrinsic value while having the potential to grow over time. That is why we invest in them over the long term.
- An ability to invest in small & mid-caps that operate in niche businesses and excel in what they do.
- Unconstrained in term of sectors, regions or investment style. The objective is to make the most of the flexibility to excel across all market environments.
Participating in the global economy
Carmignac Investissement strategically capitalizes on its global reach, with a substantial allocation to emerging markets. Recently, the Fund has further enhanced its investment in undiscovered prospects in Asia, such as the artificial intelligence (AI) value chain in Taiwan and Korea, as well as the promising banking and consumer sectors in India.

The Long-Term Appeal of Equities: Start Small, Stay Involved, Seize Opportunities
On paper, there are always reasons not to enter the stock market (valuations, geopolitical risks, economic growth, etc.). However, investing in an equity fund remains a highly compelling long-term strategy. Yet, timing the market is a challenge. Therefore, starting small and gradually increasing exposure is the optimal approach to capture opportunities as they arise.
A context that continues to be conducive for equities
A soft landing of the US economy, ongoing inflation deceleration, and accommodative central banks should continue to fuel a favorable environment for equities. However, as the supportive economic scenario has been largely factored into the market, active management of the underlying performance drivers becomes essential.
Performance drivers have been renewed
- Since the beginning of the year, the Fund posted a performance of +21% vs +15% for its reference indicator*
- Since taking over the strategy in April 2024, Kristofer has revamped the portfolio, selling 12 stocks and acquiring 31 new companies out of a total of 72 stocks.

A more robust portfolio construction
When Kristofer took over the strategy, markets were already at a high level, prompting him to carefully reshuffle the portfolio that would thrive in these market conditions. In recent weeks, we have strategically reduced the Beta of our portfolio, increased the average market capitalization, and improved the financial metrics such as balance sheet and growth rate. This has resulted in a more robust portfolio that is better equipped to withstand more challenging market conditions.
