Past performance does not predict future returns
- Performance and Outlook: Most portfolio companies displayed strong performance against Q4 earnings expectations, while the macro backdrop is becoming more supportive, and valuations remain in line with IEM's ten-year average.
- US Construction: The sector defied weak expectations in 2023, with strong growth in both residential and infrastructure spending. How are the team managing their exposure after this positive run?
- Natural Ingredients: Inventory destocking was one of the portfolio's biggest headwinds last year. As signs of growth return to certain segments, where does the team see some of the biggest opportunities?
