Executive Summary
In Q4 2025, Thornburg International Equity Fund delivered a 4.45% return, slightly lagging its benchmark (5.05%), but completed the full year with a robust outperformance of 34.21% vs 32.39% for the index. The managers navigated a complex macro backdrop marked by central bank rate policy updates (US rate cuts, Japan rate hikes), ongoing trade/tariff negotiations, and political instability in France. While global growth is projected to decelerate to 2.9% in 2026, the fund maintains a constructive, bottom-up approach, emphasizing high-conviction, world-class companies trading at attractive valuations relative to earnings. Sector-wise, the fund maintains overweights in Industrials and Utilities, and underweights in Information Technology and Financials.
