Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"GCQ Flagship Fund achieved a modest +2.0% in 2025, lagging the index due to a cyclically driven selloff in key holding Hemnet. The manager is highly optimistic for 2026, using the pullback to buy more Hemnet and maintaining a strong +110.4% return since inception."
Executive Summary
In 2025, the GCQ Flagship Fund (P Class) returned +2.0%, underperforming the MSCI World Index (AUD) return of +12.3% due to narrow AI-driven market strength and a 60% drawdown in major holding Hemnet. Despite this, the fund has returned +110.4% (+23.7% p.a.) since inception in July 2022, representing +20.6% outperformance. GCQ leveraged market volatility to exit Netflix and Alphabet at highs, re-purchase LVMH and FICO, and significantly increase their position in Hemnet, which they believe is deeply undervalued at 17x forward earnings with 4x to 5x upside. The firm remains highly optimistic heading into 2026.
