Executive Summary
In December 2025, Ennismore European Smaller Companies Fund returned 0.3%, ending the year 2025 up 10.7%. Performance was driven primarily by the long book (+12.2% for the year), offset by the short book (-1.1%), resulting in an 11.6% long-short spread. Secure Trust Bank was the top performer for 2025, while Renk Group (short) was the largest disappointment.
