“Our Financial Services holdings lagged the sector index, with SE Banken, the Swedish lender, and AIA Group, the Asian life insurer, dragging down returns in a sector made nervous by the troubles of Credit Suisse and the bank failures in the US. XP Inc. (NASDAQ:XP), a Brazilian broker-dealer and financial services company, reported weak quarterly results due to the negative effects of higher interest rates on revenue growth.”
