The statement says “Performance benefited from positive stock selection in Consumer Services, Financials and Oil & Gas. The overweight in Industrials and underweights in Utilities and Basic Materials also helped. Stock selection in Health Care and Technology were modest negatives, as was the overweight in Oil & Gas. From a country perspective, stock selection in the UK and US was positive while Japan detracted.” but makes no mention of any holding and gives no performance attribution.
