"As outperformance in the Acadian sleeve was offset by underperformance in the growth-tilted Baillie Gifford sleeve."
For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Optimum International Fund (OIIEX) returned 3.26% (net of fees), underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index, which advanced 5.05%. The Fund's multi-manager structure saw divergent results: the Acadian sleeve outperformed the benchmark due to favorable stock selection in financials (banks) and materials (metals & mining), while the Baillie Gifford sleeve underperformed, despite positive contributions from an overweight position in IT (semiconductors). Globally, European equities closed the year near record highs supported by strong earnings, and Asian markets delivered gains overall, led by South Korea's AI-driven tech surge, though Chinese equities underperformed due to soft economic data.
