Quick Take
"Despite Q4 headwinds, Ennismore remains highly confident in its contrarian stance on digital classifieds, arguing that the market's AI panic has created a generational valuation opportunity in cash-generative, moat-protected businesses."
Executive Summary
Ennismore addresses a disappointing second half of 2025, primarily driven by underperformance in their long book (which fell 6.8% gross since August). The manager delivers a detailed, structured rebuttal to the market's 'AI disruption' bear case on digital classifieds, asserting that the structural barriers protecting dominant players like Auto Trader and Baltic Classifieds remain fully intact. They highlight Wise plc as their largest position and detail promising operational inflections in other key holdings, including newly added Spirax Group and Belgian holding company D'Ieteren. To reflect the larger capacity profile of the global product compared to their European fund, Ennismore has reduced standard management fees to 1.5% and introduced performance fee cash hurdles.
