Executive Summary
HMC Capital Partners Fund I reported a Net Asset Value (NAV) of $1.3236/unit at the end of September 2025, representing a 6.8% return for the quarter, outperforming the S&P/ASX 300 by +1.9%. The Fund has delivered a 29.6% annualized net return since inception. While global markets face elevated valuations and correction risks, the Fund maintains a defensive posture by holding a substantial cash balance to capitalize on market disruptions. Key holdings like Lendlease, Baby Bunting, Lifestyle Communities, Ingenia Communities, and GrainCorp continue to offer robust idiosyncratic upside through active strategic refinement and fundamental business turnaround execution.
