"Despite lagging a buoyant, speculative market in 2025, Troy Global Equity Strategy is highly optimistic, capitalizing on a historic valuation discount by adding to heavily de-rated, high-quality data giants like Experian and LSEG."
Executive Summary
In their January 2026 Annual Letter, Troy Asset Management addresses a challenging 2025 where the Global Equity Strategy underperformed rising markets. The managers attribute this underperformance to 'animal spirits' favoring speculative and cyclical sectors, their lack of exposure to AI hardware enablers like NVIDIA, and specific mistakes in Fiserv (liquidated) and Diageo. They express strong conviction that the market has excessively punished high-quality data providers like Experian and LSEG due to exaggerated AI disruption narratives. By trimming hyperscalers (Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft) and reinvesting in these de-rated compounders, the strategy is positioned at a historic relative FCF yield discount of 4.8% versus 3.6% for the MSCI World, bolstering the managers' optimism for future returns.
