"Ophir's Global Opportunities Fund returned 25.6% net in 2025, driven entirely by superior stock picking. The managers highlight that the long-awaited catalyst for small-cap outperformance—favorable relative earnings growth—is finally falling into place for 2026."
In their December 2025 investor letter, Andrew Mitchell and Steven Ng reflect on a volatile year marked by geopolitical headlines and shifting narratives, during which the S&P 500 rose 16.4%, led yet again by mega-cap technology and communication services. Ophir's Global Opportunities Fund had a highly successful year, returning 25.6% net of fees (+27.1% gross), substantially outperforming its benchmark's 9.9% return. Performance attribution shows this outperformance was entirely driven by pure stock selection (+30.6% Contribution Effect) while standard style factors were a detractor. Crucially, tracking error has halved to 6-7% p.a., improving return consistency. Moving into 2026, the managers argue that the missing ingredient for sustained small-cap outperformance—relative earnings growth expectations turning positive—has finally arrived, positioning small caps as a compelling asset class.
