"The Fund underperformed in November as global equity markets paused, but the managers maintain a constructive outlook for 2026 supported by central bank rate cuts, significant US fiscal stimulus, and secular AI capex trends."
Executive Summary
In November 2025, the Guinness Global Innovators Fund returned -1.5% (in GBP), underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI World Index (-0.6%), and the IA Global sector (-1.0%) due to negative allocation effects from its overweight exposure to Information Technology during a period of market consolidation. Despite recent short-term underperformance, the Fund remains in the top quartile over 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20-year timeframes. Looking forward to 2026, the managers expect a highly constructive backdrop for equities driven by interest rate cuts, substantial fiscal stimulus (such as the US OBBA), and a continuation of the powerful AI-driven capex cycle. With quality stocks trading below their 10-year historical average premium, the managers believe it is an opportunistic time to invest in high-quality, resilient businesses.
