The job market is recovering faster than expected, but it seems that the Fed's desire to control the return of inflation is now well accepted and valued by the markets.

The fund slightly outperformed the indices with +5.23% compared to +4.36% for the S&P500.
We benefited from the excellent performance of Visa (+14.73%), which rebounded sharply after its correction in July correction that began in July, Estée Lauder (+13.76%)
(+13.76%) and Stryker (+13.39%).
On the other hand, Adobe corrected by -13.40%, as a result of significant profit taking by some investors and Analog Devices posted a slight decline with -2.94%.
