Parnassus Endeavor’s sector positioning has been a significant headwind during the global equity sell-off that began near 2022’s start. For the year to date through March 15, the Institutional shares lost 9%, a bottom-decile result within the large-value Morningstar Category. It also trailed the Russell 1000 Value Index’s 4.5% decline. The strategy’s lack of energy exposure has hurt as those stocks have soared because of supply-issue fears surrounding the conflict in Ukraine. Given that Parnassus does not invest in fossil fuels because of its ESG focus, this underperformance is not surprising as almost 6% of the index is allocated to those companies. The strategy’s technology overweighting has also weighed on results as growthier fare has come under pressure to start the year as investors ponder the effects of the Federal Reserve’s looming monetary policy tightening.
