"Despite positive absolute performance in FY25, the fund underperformed the benchmark due to its structural underweight in banks. The managers have cleared out underperforming names and added new high-quality holdings, remaining highly optimistic for FY26."
The Airlie Australian Share Fund achieved positive absolute performance in FY25 but underperformed its S&P/ASX 200 benchmark. Relative performance was mainly dragged down by an underweight to the banking sector (specifically CBA) and holdings in Mineral Resources and IDP Education, both of which have since been exited. Positive performance contributors included Sigma Healthcare, Aristocrat, ResMed, and Seven Group. During the year, the managers added Goodman Group and Aspen Group, and increased exposure to CSL. They remain optimistic heading into FY26 due to the strong fundamentals and discount valuations of their concentrated 15-35 stock portfolio.
