"The International All Company Fund flatlined in 2025 due to massive style headwinds and sentiment-driven AI-disruption fears. Despite relative underperformance, management has doubled down on its Exceptional Growth Company (EGC) strategy, exiting broken theses and adding new, durable structural compounders."
The Brown Capital Management International All Company Fund (Investor shares) declined 6.48% in Q4 2025, lagging the MSCI World ex-US Growth-NR Index's 2.20% gain, wrapping up a challenging, flat year relative to the index's 21.94% return. Underperformance was attributed to AI-related disruption sentiment (roughly 25%), company-specific issues (roughly 25%), and style dynamics favoring cyclical/commodity-intensive sectors (roughly 50%). Management highlights that portfolio business fundamentals remained solid, but experienced valuation multiple compression. Active portfolio management included exiting AutoStore and Tecan, and starting new positions in Apotea and Hub24 Ltd. The firm is also deploying internal AI-driven research tools to increase the team's efficiency.
