"The Global Value Fund returned 4.4% for the half-year to Dec 2025, deploying a cautious, low-beta strategy that relies on active value unlocking and discount capture to navigate historically overvalued equity markets."
For the half-year ending December 2025, Staude Capital's Global Value Fund (GVF) achieved an adjusted NTA return of 4.4%. During this period, global markets rose 11.2% in USD terms (9.6% in AUD). GVF mitigated market risk by holding conservative average exposures of 32.3% in global equities and 8.3% in debt. A key return driver was the fund's discount capture strategy, which contributed 3.0% gross. The manager warns of extreme overvaluation in US equity markets, noting the Jan 2026 forward P/E of 25.6x historically points to poor or negative subsequent 10-year returns. In the portfolio, GVF trimmed its position in HarbourVest Global Private Equity as its discount compressed, and fully exited its position in detractor Empiric Student Property due to weak rental booking trends. The macro environment is characterized by solid US economic growth (12.8% EPS growth in 2025) but threatened by the inflationary impacts of Trump's tariff policies, which have already added 0.7% to US inflation in 2025.
