Executive Summary
In the December 2025 quarterly report, PM Capital, under the leadership of Chief Investment Officer Paul Moore and Co-Portfolio Managers Kevin Bertoli and John Whelan, details its performance and strategic positioning amidst a volatile global market landscape. The flagship PM Capital Global Companies Fund delivered a robust 7.8% return for the quarter, significantly outperforming the MSCI World Net Total Return Index (AUD) benchmark of 2.5%, and bringing its one-year return to 38.3%. PM Capital attributes this performance to its unwavering focus on fundamental valuations and structural trends, navigating through geopolitical tensions and shifting inflationary backdrops. Key performance drivers included a major rally in commodities, with copper and gold positions such as Freeport-McMoRan, Newmont, and Teck Resources capitalizing on rising prices. Additionally, the European banking sector—headlined by Bank of Ireland, Lloyds Banking Group, and CaixaBank—demonstrated outperformance due to yield curve steepening and improving organic loan growth. Strategically, PM Capital initiated high-conviction positions in Union Pacific, pointing to the transformative potential of its proposed transcontinental merger with Norfolk Southern, and Siemens Healthineers, which is poised to benefit from structural healthcare megatrends. These adjustments, alongside the opportunistic disposal of Fox Corporation and the tactical exit from Woodside Energy, underscore the firm's active, bottom-up investment style designed to exploit valuation anomalies.
