"The fund posted an outstanding +45.2% YTD return in 2025, beating the MSCI ACWI by over 22%. PM Richard Oldfield suggests that rising US policy volatility and extreme index concentration are driving a shift toward global value diversification."
The Overstone World All Cap Equity Fund reported an outstanding 2025 performance, with a +12.5% return in 4Q and a +45.2% return YTD, substantially outperforming the MSCI ACWI (+22.3% YTD). Although 2025 was dominated by AI narratives, lead portfolio manager Richard Oldfield highlights that the fund successfully capitalized on AI exposure through value holdings like Samsung and SK group. Additionally, traditional holdings such as Barrick Mining, ArcelorMittal, and Jardine Matheson delivered major performance contributions. The manager argues that extreme US index concentration and tariff-induced policy volatility are undermining 'US exceptionalism' and ushering in a 'new age of diversification.' Consequently, the fund continues to capture opportunities in sound global companies and discounted conglomerates (particularly in neglected markets like Indonesia and the Philippines), maintaining attractive portfolio metrics with an average P/E below 12 and P/B well under 1.
