"Grandeur Peak highlights a speculative 2025 market that rewarded low quality over durability, while positioning its concentrated, high-quality growth portfolios for an anticipated factor mean-reversion backed by robust underlying earnings growth."
In their 4Q25 Quarterly Letter, Grandeur Peak Global Advisors details a highly speculative 2025 market environment where low-quality, passive, and value strategies dramatically outperformed high-quality active growth. They point out a wide disconnect between reported index returns and actual fund category performance, suggesting index data significantly understates style dispersion. Despite these short-term headwinds, the underlying earnings of Grandeur Peak's holdings remain robust. To optimize performance, the firm has systematically reduced name counts across almost all strategies to enhance research depth, while rotating capital within financials (into insurance distributors) and maintaining underweights in speculative tech and biotechnology. Finally, they recount a research trip to the Philippines, expressing caution due to AI risks facing the local BPO sector and political corruption scandals.
