Commentary The Fund performed positively also in April, outperforming the benchmark - which instead posted a negative performance - by over 150bps. The main positive contributors to the Fund performance had been Esprinet, Cementir, Tinexta, Longhi and Danieli. Esprinet rose as the outlook continued to be positive for the group, moreover the CEO and the Chairman decided not to sell any of the shares they received with the 2018-2020 Long Term Incentive Plan. All the other names posted positive performances on the back of positive business outlook for 2021. The main detractors to the Fund performance during the month had been Fila, Pirelli, CNH Industrial, Piovan and La Doria. Fila underperformed as the dramatic Covid-19 situation in India - one of the main markets for the company - is darkening the outlook for a 2021 recovery. Pirelli declined together with the entire Auto&Parts sector on the back of increasing worries regarding the passenger supply chain and the availability of semiconductors. CNH Industrial underperformed as the company announced the termination of the discussions with the Chinese group FAW with regard to the sale of the business. During the month the main trades executed had been the sale of Digital Bros and Tinexta, and the purchase of , Datalogic, and Enav.
