Executive Summary
For Q4 2025, the Advantage Global Fund posted returns of 3.75% (Institutional) and 3.73% (Investor A), outperforming its benchmark. Outperformance was driven by trend-following and macro-thematic insights, motivating successful overweight positions in US and Taiwanese tech stocks. The portfolio maintained a largely neutral sector and country allocation, with slight overweights in IT and Financials, and slight underweights in Health Care and Consumer Discretionary. Despite headwinds from speculative growth and recession concerns, the fund benefited from a broadening of market leadership triggered by two Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.
