"Stewart Investors has transitioned portfolio management to affiliate FSSA, tilting holdings toward robust cash-generating firms in China while trimming expensive Indian cyclical assets. The firm remains highly optimistic about long-term compounders in Asia, despite short-term market noise around generative AI."
The Q4 2025 update announces a strategic transition of investment management responsibilities from Stewart Investors to its affiliate, FSSA Investment Managers. The managers reiterate their unified long-term, high-conviction investment philosophy centered on quality, stewardship, and sustainability. During the transition, several portfolio adjustments were made, notably increasing exposure to undervalued, high-quality Chinese tech franchises (such as Tencent) and trimming expensive cyclical assets in India. Major performance drivers for the quarter included strong contributions from semiconductor leaders Samsung Electronics and TSMC, while Chinese e-commerce holdings (Alibaba) and Indian EV investments (Tube Investments) detracted. Looking ahead, the managers maintain a highly constructive outlook on Asian and emerging markets, emphasizing attractive valuations, strong earnings growth profiles, and the benefits of long-term investment horizons.
