"The Bell Global Equities Fund experienced style-driven underperformance in December 2025 as speculative sectors outpaced Quality. W."
In December 2025, the Bell Global Equities Fund (Wholesale Class) returned -1.5%, underperforming the MSCI World ex-Australia Index's return of -0.9%. This underperformance capped off a challenging year characterized by pronounced 'risk-on' style headwinds where momentum and speculative assets outperformed Quality. In response, the investment team has proactively adjusted the portfolio, exiting fully-valued or challenged companies (American Express, HCA Healthcare, Nestlé, PepsiCo, Jack Henry) and deploying capital into higher-conviction opportunities with compelling entry points (W.W. Grainger, LPL Financial). The manager expresses high conviction heading into 2026, anticipating a transition toward a fundamentally-driven, earnings-based market environment that heavily favors cash-generative Quality compounders.
