"EQUAM Global Value generated 6.6% in 2025, lagging broader markets due to its small-cap focus. However, the portfolio's estimated upside potential has reached an all-time high of 106%, trading at a highly discounted 9.3x forward P/E."
In the December 2025 quarterly report, Equam Global Value Fund outlines a positive 2025 return of 6.6%, which underperformed broader indices (MSCI Europe up 19% and S&P 500 up 17%) due to a lack of exposure to banking and defense, and the ongoing market neglect of the European small-cap segment. However, the manager notes the portfolio trades at highly attractive valuations (forward P/E of 9.3x vs. Stoxx Europe 600 at 14.5x) with an all-time high portfolio upside potential of 106%. Portfolio value is being recognized by corporate acquirers, as demonstrated by takeover offers for portfolio holdings including Allfunds Group, Millenium Hotels, and Dalata. Six new investments were initiated in 2025 (Stabilus, CIE Automotive, B&M, Kinepolis, Domino's, and Amrest), and the position in Ibersol was sold. The manager remains highly constructive on small-caps while expressing deep skepticism regarding the sustainability of AI-related mega-cap tech valuations.
