Quick Take
"The Airlie Australian Share Fund lagged the ASX 200 in Q3 2025 due to sharp earnings-season de-ratings in healthcare holdings and bank underweights, but remains constructive on select value opportunities and spotlights Washington H. Soul Pattinson as a premier long-term holding."
Executive Summary
For the quarter ended 30 September 2025, the Airlie Australian Share Fund rose 1.4%, underperforming the S&P/ASX 200 index which advanced 4.7%. The quarterly lag was primarily due to sharp multiple de-ratings in key active healthcare holdings EBOS (-27%) and CSL (-16%) following soft earnings, alongside an underweight position in the strongly performing Big Four banks. These losses were partially offset by robust performance from Nick Scali (+28%), Charter Hall (+19%), Ampol (+18%), and Aspen Group (+18%). Macroeconomically, the manager discussed the decoupling of gold from real yields, elevated index valuations (forward P/E of 20.7x), and extreme reporting season volatility (where ~20% of companies moved +/- 10% on earnings day). Finally, the fund highlighted its investment thesis in Washington H. Soul Pattinson (SOL), citing its 'mini-Berkshire Hathaway' permanent capital model, net cash position post-Brickworks merger, and stable management team as pillars for defensive, long-term outperformance.
