"Speculative momentum drove lower-quality companies to outperform in 2025, leading to fund underperformance, but the manager is using the dislocation to systematically buy high-quality compounders at highly attractive prices."

In response, the fund selectively trimmed and exited stressed assets in Financials and IT while increasing its allocation to high-quality Health Care companies where valuation opportunities have become highly attractive.
