"The Fairtree Global Equity Fund returned 1.66% in Q4 2025, underperforming its quarterly benchmark but completing a strong year of 2.27% outperformance. The fund continues to rotate into technology and select emerging markets while remaining cautious on US concentration and cyclicals."
The Fairtree Global Equity Fund returned 1.66% for Q4 2025, underperforming its benchmark by 1.64%. Despite the quarter's underperformance, the fund outperformed its benchmark by 2.27% for the full year 2025. Over the quarter, developed and emerging markets saw solid performance, with the MSCI ACWI rising 3.29% and the S&P 500 gaining 2.65%. The US market, however, delivered a rare annual underperformance against the MSCI ACWI. The fund executed several strategic adjustments, notably switching Chinese ADR holdings (Alibaba and Pinduoduo) into Naspers, adding to core tech names (Meta, Nvidia, Amazon), initiating new positions in ADP, Philip Morris, Renesas Electronics, and Harmony, and fully exiting Applied Materials, Elevance Health, LVMH, and Anheuser-Busch InBev. The manager highlights narrow market breadth in the US as a continuing trend and maintains an underweight positioning in US/Canada and cyclical sectors, preferring technology and overweights in Kazakhstan and South Africa.
