2. In August exane archimedes fund (A) gained 0,97%.
Performance analysis
The telecoms (+103 bps) and technology (+3 bps) sectors contributed positively, whereas
utilities cost 9 bps.
Among telecoms, United Internet, Vodafone and KPN were the strongest contributors.
In the utilities sector, pair-trades in E.On and RWE vs EDP and Gas Natural weighed on
performance.
Key portfolio changes
Telecoms sector highlights in August:
Iliad pressed ahead with its takeover bid for T-Mobile US, which caused Sprint to
abandon its merger project with T-Mobile US and is also likely to delay any consolidation
in the French market,
Telefonica Brasil successfully completed its offer for GVT.
In terms of investments, we initiated a T-mobile US vs AT&T (2.5%) pair-trade, to play an
improvement in the price of Iliad’s offer for T-Mobile.
Furthermore, if Deutsche Telekom sells its stake in T-Mobile US, it may use the funds to
acquire an incumbent European operator.
In our opinion:
Orange would be the most likely target, which is the main reason that we are reluctant to
short this stock, despite the lower probability of consolidation in the French mobile
market,
or otherwise Telecom Italia.
Telecom Italia therefore now harbours three types of optionality: the sale of Tim Brasil, the
indirect benefits of a consolidation in the Italian mobile market and potential takeover interest
from Deutsche Telekom.
Consequently, we doubled our position in Telecom Italia from 3% to 6% at the end of the
month.
We closed-out our KPN vs Deutsche Telekom pair-trade and reduced our position in
TeliaSonera.
Among utilities, we switched out of our long EDF position and into RWE. We prefer the
German political situation in terms of energy policy and wish to increase our exposure to an
electricity price rally in Europe.
