"Despite a challenging Q3 due to lack of bank exposure, EQUAM's SMID-focused portfolio is poised for massive gains, with target upside hitting an all-time high of 112%."
In Q3 2025, EQUAM Global Value Fund returned -3.9%, underperforming comparable indices. This performance was primarily due to its lack of exposure to the strongly performing banking sector (which represents 13% of the index and rose 12% in the quarter) and its focus on European small- and mid-caps, which remain deeply out of favor. However, since its inception, the fund has gained 101% (outperforming its index by 2%). The manager highlights extreme, unsustainable valuations in major global markets (Nasdaq at 40x, S&P 500 at 30x P/E) alongside mounting risks including sticky inflation, slowing employment, and potential overcapacity in tech/AI investments. To capitalize on the massive valuation disconnect, the fund maintains low liquidity (1.4%) and is fully deployed in over 40 highly discounted SMID-cap equities. Key portfolio activity during the quarter included initiating a position in Domino's Pizza UK and participating in a highly accretive capital increase for industrial equipment maker Rieter.
