"The Overstone Global Equity Fund posted a strong +34.7% return in 2025, significantly beating the MSCI World. The manager warns of broad-market index concentration in AI and high valuations, preferring deep-value asset plays like Swatch and Exor."
Executive Summary
In 2025, the Overstone Global Equity Fund returned +34.7% (USD), outperforming the MSCI World Index (+21.1%) and the MSCI World Value Index (+20.8%). Key contributors included Samsung, Lloyds, and ArcelorMittal, while Alibaba was exited due to weakening fundamentals. The fund initiated a new deep-value position in Swatch Group, citing its massive discount to real estate and net cash assets. The manager expresses caution regarding high US index valuations and hidden concentration in AI-dependent giants (Nvidia, ASML, TSMC), predicting poor broad-market returns over the next decade while remaining constructive on disciplined value portfolios.
