"Hardman Johnston delivered strong full-year 2025 results despite minor Q4 underperformance, and is actively shifting capital to seize high-conviction opportunities in AI power infrastructure and global defense."
During Q4 2025, the Hardman Johnston Global Equity Composite returned 2.91% net of fees, modestly underperforming the MSCI AC World Net Index's 3.29% gain, though full-year 2025 performance remained very strong. Sector contributors were led by Financials (Standard Chartered, Citigroup) and Consumer Staples (Estée Lauder), while Industrials (Rheinmetall, Uber) and Consumer Discretionary (Prosus, MercadoLibre) detracted relative to the index. The fund engaged in significant portfolio optimization, initiating positions in Cameco, Citigroup, Elanco, HDFC Bank, and Vertiv, while fully liquidating Corteva, T-Mobile US, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals. The manager views the global macroeconomic environment as uncertain but filled with opportunities, particularly within structural themes like defense spending and the AI/data-center infrastructure chain.
