Sycomore Sélection PME

A responsible selection of SMEs

Sycomore Sélection PME seeks to deliver superior returns over a 5-year investment horizon by employing a socially responsible and multithemed investment process (energy transition, healthcare, nutrition, well-being, digital…) in keeping with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Primarily exposed to EU country equities, the fund specifically targets European SMEs that meet the PEA-PME scheme selection criteria, with no sector constraints. Our ESG exclusion and selection methodology is fully integrated into our corporate fundamental analysis framework.

The latest earnings season and encouraging macroeconomic signals enabled European stock markets to rebound in November. Technology stocks stood out, supported by declining bond yields. Within this sector, contributors to the fund’s performance included Adesso (developer of tailor-made software, focusing on the German market) after the company reported an acceleration in growth in Q3, and Soitec, which confirmed its resilience despite a gloomy smartphone market. The potential reopening in China was a positive factor for El.En, which is exposed to the market through its metal cutting business, and to a lesser degree for Befesa, as new production capacities are planned within the region. Finally, the Despature family, which currently controls 70% of Somfy’s capital (world leader in rolling shutter motorisation) offered €143 a share to minority investors, a 20% premium over the last market price.
