"The Canopy Global Small & Mid Cap Fund suffered a -9.2% return in H1 FY26 due to a broad de-rating of quality stocks, which the manager argues creates a highly compelling, earnings-backed opportunity."
In H1 FY26, the Canopy Global Small & Mid Cap Fund returned -9.2% net of fees, underperforming its benchmark by 15.8% amid a widespread market rotation away from the quality factor and toward high-volatility, lower-quality stocks. Despite a robust 9% weighted average annualized local-currency EPS growth from portfolio companies, returns were dragged down by a broad 14% de-rating in portfolio PE multiples (from 26x to 23x). The manager details that fears over generative AI disrupting enterprise software and online classifieds are highly overdone and have created compelling, contrarian buying opportunities. The letter highlights a successful turnaround in top contributor Medpace and includes a deep dive into Japanese HR tech holding Visional, which is structurally insulated from AI risk due to Japan's severe labor shortage. One holding, Trex, was exited due to deteriorating industry dynamics and defensive margin compression.
