"The fund delivered exceptional outperformance in Q4 and FY2025 by focusing on high-quality, dividend-paying global giants. Despite an uncertain macro environment, the managers remain optimistic, citing the portfolio's attractive relative valuation and robust 4.2% dividend yield."
The Thornburg Equity Income Builder Fund posted strong performance in Q4 2025, with Class I ACC shares returning 6.95%, outperforming the MSCI World Index's 3.12%. For the full year 2025, Class I shares returned 36.96% compared to the index's 21.09%.

While macroeconomic headwinds such as inflation, rising U.S. unemployment, and trade policy adjustments pose global uncertainties, the managers remain optimistic about the portfolio's intrinsic value.
