IPOX Indexes fall towards week-end, many still set weekly all-time Highs. The IPOX Indexes rose last week to close at or near weekly-all-time highs. Trading Sentiment deteriorated towards the weekend on increased China-U.S. tensions with encouraging U.S. and European economic data driving some asset allocation away from the hugely outperforming growth-focused portfolios to conventional benchmark exposure and U.S. small-caps (RTY: +6.00%). In the U.S., e.g., the IPOX 100 U.S., underlying for the $1.5 billion “FPX” ETF, rose +0.80% to +12.64% YTD, lagging the S&P 500 (SPX) by -165 bps. on the week. Amid earnings and renewed corporate actions activity, weekly returns of portfolio holdings diverged sharply: While medical devices maker Irhytm Technologies (IRTC US: +62.33%) and security services provider ADT (ADT US: +41.70%) soared on strong earnings and an investment from Google, respectively, profit taking after earnings pressured infrastructure software makers Datadog (DDOG US: -19.80%) and Fastly (FSLY US: -17.70%). Abroad, we note a fresh weekly all-time
High recorded by number of IPOX Portfolios. The IPOX International, e.g., basis for the $220 million “FPXI” ETF, rose +2.31% to +40.58% YTD, extending the YTD lead vs. its benchmark to +4932 YTD. Here, big gains in Japan-traded exposure including leading courier services provider SG Holdings (9143 JP: +24.55%) and e-commerce firm Mercari (4385 JP: +16.97%) after blow-out earnings more than offset declines in some of the European-domiciled portfolio holdings including Swiss pharma products retailer Galenica (GALE SW: -6.99%) and German medical devices maker DAX-30 candidate Spin-off Siemens Healthineers (SHL GY: -6.07%) which fell after announcing the buy-out of U.S. medical equipment maker Varian (VAR US: +21.69%) last week-end.
