"The Fund fell 9.2% in Q4 due to a dramatic equity market bifurcation away from non-resource stocks, but remains well-capitalized with ~$140m in cash to opportunistically double-down on its high-conviction activist pipeline."
HMC Capital Partners Fund I reported a disappointing Q4 2025 net asset value decline of ~9.2%, primarily driven by a sharp sector rotation out of non-resources (down 6.4%) and into resources (up 11.3%), where the Fund has zero exposure. Despite this setback, the Fund has achieved an annualized net return of 23.5% since inception, outperforming the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index by 12.6% p.a. The Fund holds a substantial cash reserve of ~$140m to maintain flexibility. During the quarter, HMC increased its position in Lifestyle Communities (LIC) to 10.4%, taking advantage of price weakness, and remains constructive on core positions in Lendlease (LLC), Baby Bunting (BBN), and Ingenia (INA), while having previously de-risked its position in GrainCorp (GNC).
